I want to buy one and like it, but 4GB is not much when you're using git and flitting around different projects on github.
Otherwise the limitation would be a good thing, in forcing me to back up early and often and not waste my time with videos and picture memes.
- jasonkostempski 10y agoAt first I thought you were talking about RAM and thought you were crazy. Can anything run with 4GB storage? Why is it so small? Can it be upgraded?
- ocschwar 10y agoOh, my, pass the Geritol. I remember having to contend with a 5MB storage quota in school. My fraternity had to impose a policy of not discussing contentious things over email at the end of a semester, so people's quotas would not fill up with flamacious threads. 1GB is enough to store the entire keyboard&mouse input record of a human lifetime. If you;re not editing pictures, video, or audio, then there's only one reason why your 4GB of drive space would fill up so quickly: git. But if it's easy to upgrade the eMMC storage, then it's all moot. Move up to 16GB, and you can run git clone with abandon again.
