The hardware sounds interesting but $1000 for what’s ultimately just a simplified Surface Pro with regular Linux running on it is a bit steep IMHO.
The hardware is closer to a surface go than a surface pro, just with a bigger screen.
Intel on mobile has always been painful so that choice in CPU is interesting.
I have no personal experience with this company, but I’ve followed them for a few years. I was initially very interested in their laptops, but was also very excited when the phone was announced. In the years since the phone was announced, I’ve heard and read many negative things about build quality and software on their laptops, and I’ve seen the shipment of the phones get repeatedly delayed. More recently, https://youtu.be/wKegmu0V75s showed up in my feed. I would recommend anyone considering purchasing from them watch that video, and do a little research into their security/openess claims, as well as customer satisfaction.
Again, I don’t have the personal experience to say they are bad in anyway, but I don’t want to see anyone get scammed, so I would recommend healthy skepticism and due diligence before making a purchase.

very good philosophy but POS cpu and hardware choices
And the company isn’t very good either.
Sounds pretty great. Just need to lower that price and improve the graphics a bit and I’d be a buyer. Not sure why they went with Intel on this when they could have gone arm64 or and AMD APU for the same price and had an increased feature set.
And to start delivering on previous promises.
I’m unfamiliar with their history. Have they screwed customers before?
Oh yes. The whole Librem5 fiasco of promising release dates and then constantly breaking them for 5 years in a row. Device which is now severely out of date and still not being delivered and is produced at limited rates. People even had a lot of issues with refunds since company decided they actually need that money.
I’m loving my Linux running surface actually. Relatively cheap & no problems whatsoever. I just can’t imagine to pay 1000 bucks for that kind of hardware, sorry.
