One of those things I desperately want, no, need!, but never really know, what I actually would do with it...
Still, this thing seems too cool to not get - and at that price, not much is lost
- Exactly, this will go in my 'cool tech I don't use' pile immediately. :P
I wish
Ethernet port wasn’t built in and was provided via extension.
there were two extension ports, one for touch devices (at least position-wise) and another for other extensions like Ethernet, usb, extra battery, etc. (maybe positioned on the back or on top)
That would make it ideal device for me.
That looks very cool and very cyberdecky
- Exactly my thinking. Also, the built-in Ethernet port is very useful and kind of sells me on this device. I know, dongles exist and even work with smartphones, but this is neat.
  I don't quite like how the device looks from the front though. The gap between the accessory and the display is kind of ugly - and since the gamepad accessory has a different shape compared to the others, one can't easily design a different 3D printed case for the device. Although, maybe I could print a different shell for the keyboard and GPIO board.
  
  The product website says the enclosure will be available as (I guess?) stl files, so that'll be a good starting point.
Want :3
