Looks similar to an iPad in the fancy case. I even added a mouse.
For all the discussion, IMNSHO, the big deal is the (unknown) software.
I miss some vital things in iOS. First, I can't right/control click on an online image to get its URL. I have to hold down, "share" it to email and grab the URL there. OOPS, for focus, I disable email on the iPad. I think I tried messages and dropped that for whatever reason.
Big plus, iOS makes text selection a horror. Try dragging your finger through 20 screens. Gimme a keyboard! Command-A totally wins (or click/shift-click).
You can get command-line and unix utils only in virtual machines like a-shell.
For various reasons, I find MacOS hundreds or thousands of times more productive than iOS, and given that many iOS apps run on MacOS, that works.
Having been through chips from 6800 and 6502 to the latest, "The software is the computer" whether installed or web-based, or, if Apple trims this down to Sunray proportions, "The network is the computer."
They must choose wisely. Without Steve Jobs ...
Along those lines, I have favored a home server (a la Cobalt) to do many chores, and one could run a bunch of stuff, TBD.
Sun experience showing. Those were Sunny Days.
