You know what's better than Pentaform? Any of the companies doing refurbishing and resale of used PCs. I can get a laptop that has everything built-in and the same performance as this cheap wasteful keyboard for the same price. Amazing!

But damn they suck at marketing. If only they claimed to launch the world's most affordable and environmentally friendly PC. Guess they didn't have the money for that.

Exactly, I just picked up a beautiful condition Thinkpad T430 with 8G ram and 120G SSD for $80. Admittedly, a great deal, but I see them commonly available for around the same price as the Pentaform.
Interesting! I was considering a raspberry pi 4 for some things but a laptop is more appropriate. Where would I find these?

Despite having a 10 year old cpu, it's way faster than an rpi, though the later has it's own use cases.

For sure, rpis are awesome too! Will definitely take a look at this one. Thanks!
