Sure. But considering you can't buy them anywhere but China makes the notion of "launched" rather limited.

- _carbyau_ 4y agoFirstly, 1.3 billion people ain't nothing. Secondly, most people in the world know China can ship hand-sized objects to their country and aren't above reselling. Thirdly, in many countries it seems that postage from China is cheaper than postage from across the country. This seems to me to be an officially deniable launch. A beta-launch as it were. A way Intel can say "Well, we didn't release it to you because it wasn't ready for you..." while still actually having launched it and having the whole world tell them what they need to fix. But a release is a release. So they should be judged on their product. Which so far seems lacking. I have hopes for the future though as they work on cleaning this mess up.
