It's not much cheaper than an equivalent laptop, so who's this for, exactly?

I like the concept because it's reminiscent of the early computers I grew up with (Tandy CoCo, Commodore 64) and I basically just dock my laptop with its lid closed anyway (screen is too small and resolution too high for my old person eyes).

But considering it's literally a keyboard PC, you'd think they'd have put more effort into making it a nice keyboard. I hate those "chiclet" low travel keys. Put a PC in a good mechanical keyboard or at least a membrane keyboard where the keys have some travel, then we'll talk. Until then, it'd be a tad ridiculous to plug a good keyboard into my keyboard PC lol.

I guess if there were an LCD shortage instead of memory and SSD, it would have a lot more potential.
