    Society if those devices had been the precursors of smartphones and not the closed box that were back then:

    That looks amazing but 7 hours on a 16000 mAh battery seems a bit low

      Assuming nominal voltage of 3.7, that’s about 60Wh. For comparison, the 14" MacBook has a 70Wh battery.

      That’s not good battery life but it depends on what kind of usage they’re assuming with that 7H number. I’m not sure a MacBook runs that long under high load. If it’s 7H on a heavy load, that’s respectable.

      Edit: not sure what class of device is the best comparison here. Laptop? Tablet? Phone? 🤷

    Love the form factor. That’s right my alley

    I’m a bit put off by them calling this open source. Much of the Raspberry Pi is not open hardware. What are we to call a RISC-V-based version, super-duper-open source?

      I guess the design of the components is open, so technically could be adopted to a RISC-V Pi alternative. Two promising options would be

        Oooh, making a RISC-V SBC that apes the Pi’s layout & pinout is a clever idea.
