Will it be RYF? Probably not. Will it be better than anything we have now? Absolutely.
yep
Will it be better than Pyra or Neo900? Depends on your use case. Pyra will probably ship sooner
mmh yea. some of the same neo900 devs are working on pyra so when prya is finished i guess neo900 will get more attention :)
been wondering about a gpd pocket lately. non-free bios, wifi but 8GB ram laptop for £340 from china is quite tempting. a higher power laptop would be useful... plus i can "dock"/connect the gpd poket into my eoma68 laptop via breakout card if i want to work on a larger screen,KB,touchpad.
Snag is yucky intel bios :( and crappy wifi ant design. Battery I guess will require a hack around for a replacement as i imagine it won’t be easy to get a same size one. On the bright side there are good sized battery test points so one can by the looks of it, solder wires and stick a 18650/lipo battery pack on the outside of the case :)
Pyra looks like smaller keyboard? Far less powerful but better battery life/efficiency. Bit more ££ but is libre hardaware with again non-free but better designed wifi. pyra with 4g + bluetooth headset + if really good power saving is implemented, could then be a kind of phone?
