yehhh that's a software thing... look how that's
worked out in a completely oversaturated market
that's controlled by a few massive incumbents
with profit-maximisation as their sole objective.
... not working out so well, is it?
> I want my laptop to last 10h
that's just about doable with this design, and you
can always get one of those portable 10000mAh
external battery packs - just make sure it can do
12V and has a 5.5mm DC pin positive jack.
> while being very portable,
... how does 1.1kg grab ya? :) or, how about 40 grams
for the computer card?

you can simply unplug this from the desktop
housing and plug it into the laptop housing -
that was the whole idea man! :)
- mwcampbell 10y agoI think you missed the point of the comment you're replying to. If I understand correctly, the parent commenter doesn't want a low-power processor, the kind that's appropriate for a phone or tablet or laptop, in their non-battery-powered desktop. That said, you're right that the likes of Microsoft, Apple, and Google haven't had any incentive to make it easy for someone to easily transfer their whole computing configuration from one machine to another.
- lkcl 10y agoallo mwcampbell, did i see you on reddit a few days ago? so much has happened so fast :) i understood it differently, but there are definitely people who don't want today's low-power tablet-style processors in a desktop computer. (aside: let's remember that tomorrow's desktop processors will be lower power and more powerful even than today's tablet-style processors!) those people are the ones that i'm specifically not targetting, here. i'm targetting the "good enough" crowd. and the makers. and the libre people. and those who are fed up with being spied on through devices that they paid for. we don't like paying to be snooped on, that's just f*g cheek.

Edit: Oh, and I talked to you a little on the #arm-netbook IRC channel a few weeks ago. I use the same nick on IRC as here.
