I’ve been looking for something like this exact form factor but with a giant battery and usb-c displayport out and PD out to use with a pair of video display glasses like the XReal Pros. Could have real space and weight saving potential, better privacy on plane rides, and a nice large virtual display with better ergonomics to go along with it.

Would love to at least have DP Alt Mode on the USB-C power input someday... maybe in the next generation. They're always wanting for board space; dropping one set of USB-A ports would give a bit!

Radxa has rpi clones with better specs that already do that

If Radxa would slow down their rollout of another new hardware board with vastly different target markets every month or so, they could wind up with a few really well-supported boards.

But as it is, you have to love tinkering with Linux or reading things across forums, blog posts, GitHub issues, and Discord to get a given Radxa board going nicely. It can be done, but it still takes too much effort for many.

idk but sounds like they might be run by designers and also they might be outsourcing PCBA. Just doing one batch simplifies operations by a lot. Not that I think it's commendable to do so...

Sounds like the opposite of a RPi clone.

I settled on a GPD Win Mini with HX370. Tiny full laptop when needed, quick wireless keyboard pairing away from more versatile setups.

That's pretty cool!

I'm waiting for AR glasses to get higher res, but yes.

Also, if we're posting our wishlist - Preonic form factor.
