Of course it's pricey now, but if this format catches on, the overall cost should go down. Remember how much handheld calculators first cost when they came out, or mobile phones (remember how big mobile phones were?!)?

I say we throw all of these new pieces of sh*t "computers" into a bonfire and leave it at that.

The better solution for the transportable PC issue would be a barebone PC. Smaller than a normal case and needs special mainboards, but the rest of the components is normal PC hardware.

Sure it's more expensive than a PC. It's the Supply/Demand thing.

Also, you get what you pay for.
