Don't people already have their laptop if they're planning on bringing a device with a screen+keyboard? I can see it as useful for a dedicated raspberry-pi screen and keyboard, but the adapter board looks easily broken if you move around with it.
I'm excited to see the row is keys on the right with Home, pgup, pgdn and End. Very useful for someone who spent their early computing years on non-gimped keyboards. I had a laptop with that layout in about 2009, was easy to adapt to.
- eigenspace 2y agoNot everyone owns a laptop, nor do they really see a need for one very often. Phones and other devices are plenty powerful these days for most tasks most people are doing on laptops. The input format is the only reason most people own them.
- kristianp 2y agoYou're right, there are places where the smartphone is the only compute device in the home. Would this be too expensive for those people though? I'm thinking people from Myanmar for example.
- bigiain 2y agoI suspect vanishingly few of the "I don't own a laptop(/desktop), I just use my phone" also own (or want) Raspberry Pis...
- eigenspace 2y agoThis device doesnt require a raspberry pi, that’s just an option. It is compatible with several phone “desktop mode”s.
