The word "Mediocre" comes to mind. Still using Micro HDMI, weirdly added unusable nvme ensuring people know its not the final product and if they want nvme they'll be having to pay for a replacement at some point down the line, plus increasing the price by around 30%.

Feels very much like they've given up even pretending to try and understand what their customers want. The micro hdmi thing is just incredibly stupid, they know full well how pissed off customers were over that yet did it again.

It would be understandable if they kept the same case mold... but they did in fact reorder the ports.

Yeah that part makes it even more odd as instead of one new mold they now need 2 if/when they do add the nvme support.

The word "Amazing" comes to my mind. My guess is you wildly overstimate how much people care about what you care about.

Not sure why you think I'm talking for everyone. This is a forum for discussion, where people share their views and opinions, mine was that it's mediocre, yours was that it's amazing. That's the great thing about opinions, we all have them, and people who slate other peoples opinions tend to look a bit silly.

Also if you read here, their own announcement blog post, X, Bluesky and Reddit you'll find theres a fair few people sharing my views regarding micro hdmi and the nvme shenanigans.

Fair enough. I still think "mediocre" is a strong word for a <$100 product that’s a real usable computer, with this form factor. For a first computer for example, it’s NOT mediocre.
