I'd absolutely buy one of these for a kid. This looks like a ton of fun for someone's first computer.

- criddell 4y agoI wonder if it would be a good replacement for the Alphasmart-type machines that are made mostly for writing? A computer that can run for weeks on AA batteries could be useful.
- criddell 4y agoI can't edit my comment, so I'll add it here: after looking into it more, this Cyberdeck wouldn't be a reasonable replacement for an Alphasmart or even for the original Model 100. It's way too power hungry. Is there a board out there you could build a machine around that is low power and fanless? Something that could run on a 4 AA batteries for a month? the Tandy machine couldn't make it that long, but we've come a long way since then. Along the way there have been machines from other companies - Alphasmart, Psion, Sharp, Casio, etc...
