Astro Slide? https://store.planetcom.co.uk/products/astro-slide
2 comments

Just in case anyone reading this is considering purchasing the Astro Slide... be very wary. I backed the Indiegogo campaign over 2 years ago, still nothing. The wait isn't the issue here (COVOD and the related supply chain issues are real, I get that), but the major lack of transparency from PlanetCom is abysmal. A quick read of a few pages of the comments on the Indiegogo campaign page gives you a pretty clear picture of how many of the backers feel...
Peculiar device, I like it! Reminds me more of my Vaio C1 I had back in 2001, great laptop, got itself in the movies :)
