From all the previous failed crowdfunded hardware projects (like KDE Spark tablet, Jolla tablet and so on), I know one thing. Making mobile computer hardware is hard, when such companies depend on third parties for assembly and manufacturing. Those can pull the rug from under you at any point without even a blink. Especially when it's a tiny fish, which is nothing for them in comparison with clients that order magnitudes more.
So when dealing with such crowdfunding, don't get frustrated, treat it as a high risk investment and learn to be stoic. Most likely it fill fail. But if you are lucky, it won't.
