[Arm-netbook] LWN: Hands on with the pi-top

[Paul Boddie]

Hello,

I thought that some of you might be interested in this, at least in the 
context of laptop projects, what other people are doing, and the finished 
products:

I guess the Raspberry Pi aspect of it means that people are willing to throw 
their money at something that doesn't really seem to be a particularly good 
product: tied to the RPi, no speakers or audio outputs (apart from on the RPi 
board itself), the usual proprietary software dependencies and promotional 
activity, reportedly dodgy keyboard...

Also of interest is that their desktop version recently got funded very 
quickly indeed. Again, the same RPi dependencies and constraints apply. I 
guess it shows that there's a market for such stuff, even if (or especially 
if) you take the RPi cargo culture out of the equation.
