the battery is probably defensible because it's triple the capacity so the extra mechanical headache is worth it, but being on the bleeding edge of what nordic is shipping, especially on a KS schedule/budget, is not a position i would envy

Is this worth posting about? It looks like yet another single board computer with a arm chip. But this time they have a laptop. No idea why you would want a laptop with a arm chip though.  https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop quote:Libre Tea Computer Card

No idea why you would want a laptop with a arm chip though. to be honest it would be pretty nice to have a laptop shell to shove something like a Raspberry Pi or all those other boards in to make it more mobile, but this thing seems to require things mounted on a completely different sort of board.

No idea why you would want a laptop with a arm chip though. Looks like their big thing is that the laptop and the mainboard are separate, and by having a standard mainboard design you can just upgrade the laptop as needed or desired, and the wood block makes for a mini desktop. It might be cheaper to upgrade the board for however long the new standard exists and works than to buy new laptops, but I can't see anyone short of regular users wanting it, as all I can see from a company or school deployment is new ways things get ruined. Making the parts able to be 3D printed by the average person will mean either very simple designs to pieces and/or some laughable joint gaps. Actually it would probably have some good situational uses if they made a lot of different ARM boards for it and let it take a couple at once, because then it could be really useful for ARM development, and using one board as the computer could be used to make and simulate embedded applications that are programmed onto the other board, which could be unplugged and then plugged into whatever else. If they did something like that, I could see high school and college courses loving them, especially any that get involved in stuff like FIRST and whatever other robot things there are. Real edit: $500 for the laptop kit with 3D printed parts and $65 for the fanciest computer card, or $1200 for an assembled laptop with computer card included. evilcat fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jul 2, 2016 |

if it's just the enclosure then 6-9 months would be reasonable.

laptop gaming isn't a thing yet unless you're willing to shell out the same cash as a high-end macbook pro for a laptop that will be outdated in a few years the idea of thunderbolt GPU enclosures is really cool and could potentially pan out in the future but for some games that are heavier on CPU (source engine games are notorious for this, iirc) that'll be your bottleneck once your hardware is outdated even if you could just shove a new gpu in there

duTrieux. posted:i play games on a laptop and i just crank down the graphics and resolution and it's perfectly fine, idk why people are all 'labtops oval office gome' because their definition of game doesn't include games that aren't AAA 3D (most indie games, even good looking ones fall well within a laptops capability), aren't smooth frame rate dependant (dropping frames ain't a big deal in slower games) or they're not cranking the settings down low enough as you say. You can squeeze a lot more out of less powerful if you abandon trying to keep 1920x1080 res.

you can game just fine on desktop Intel graphics with the best i7. but a laptop i5 throttled for thermal reasons will be unplayable. let alone an Atom in a freaking handheld. I wonder if they tested these games on some random Atom laptop as opposed to their actual design with heat and power constraints as well.
