This being $2039 CAD I can't find any way to justify the price. Even as the Linux enthusiast in my circles this is too much.
For 2k I'd honestly rather buy a Framework 16.
Either way best of luck to the campaign👍
Yeah, this thing has comparable specs to my desktop computer with the price to match. When comparing to the PinePhone, this has 10x the RAM and 16x the storage.
In a time when so much stuff is unaffordable, maybe building an incredibly beefy phone as a startup doesn't seem like the best idea.
Maybe they're hoping there's an untapped market for that, which would involve strong margins and therefore help fund work on more run-of-the-mill hardware...?
Lots of assumptions I just made 😅
