Yeah, looks kinda expensive. And not too fast, too: 1.3 GHz quad core CPU's in an age where there are at least twice faster CPU's in smartphones already? Even 1.8 GHz octa-core Exynos 5420-based ARM Chromebooks are laggy, judging by reviews.

Of course, I understand: doing hardware is hard, and there is an acute shortage of open source ARM SoC's. Still, I wish they could figure out a way to provide more hardware for a smaller price. If nothing else, it would help the adoption of an open hardware laptop greatly: it's kinda weird that all this work is so that only some 1,000 people would get their laptops.
