I'm not sure if I missed it or it wasn't mentioned in the video, but they never showed/explained how they're running the backup. At the begining of the video Linus said that there we'll be a minimum port conf...
This shows promise except that I'm hesitant backing any campaign. I think it's time for GPD to get away from crowd funding and commit to retail. The company has successfully crowd sourced more than one product already. The engineering, R&D, tooling+manufacturing, parts sourcing, PR/marketing etc. is already in place for them. If they still need to be raising money to cover their cash flow then either they are being misleading about their cost, they are not confident in their product or they need a better way to figure out demand and consumer interest. It's one thing to generate hype and another to bring to market a supported product.
Back to the topic though, the elephant in the room here is the Surface GO. This really needs to be put up against it for a fair comparison in my opinion, and I don't mean Windows 10 S versus regular Windows or the price difference between the two units. Real world tests like web browsing, using office, watching a movie streaming over wifi, Skype calling (I really hate Skype lately), external connectivity and display quality. Those are the things that would be important for folks looking to get serious use out of it. Then you can compare battery life, thermals, noise, size and weight.
I feel this needs a follow-up video. How about it Linus?
