This is a joke right? Why would you not buy a Surface GO? Noted it has a big SSD.
Way better CPU? Comes with a keyboard?
256GB model is/has been available way cheaper elsewhere too.
It's obviously a niche product, but the surface go isn't exactly without its limits of faults.
I love the idea of this and docking it at home and work. Takes me back to my days playing with the Vaio P series.
For this money you can buy an i5 Surface Pro. Or many laptops.
Bingo.
very different device. You can't pocket a Surface Go. You can pocket this with you anywhere as long as you aren't wearing skinny jeans.
Here's a review:

Way cheaper for the 256 GB version at GeekBuying, with stylus:

That being said this form factor isn't great for an Intel chip right now, as it requires fans to pull this design off. It's also unlikely to replace an existing laptop or tablet.
It's impressive that they can fit a Core M CPU into a 7 inch device and also integrate an active stylus, but the question is how you're supposed to use desktop windows in a 7" display.
You would not have the question if you saw the one from GPD before:

intel fitted skylake core m into compute stick 2
i think you'll see this amber lake core m in compute stick 3 if they ever update the product line
new player qualcomm 855 gonna run windows too
Haven't you ever watched "The Land of the Giants"?
On a serious note. I would like one and would be great for techs of all sorts. But way too expensive to justify.
Bout on a par with my Lenovo Mixx700 with double the disk and RAM size and almost half the size, - except the MIX has a useable 2160x1440 touch screen screen with a fully detachable keyboard, and cost me $600 in October 2016. I note a reference to "360 yoga design". I suspect the manufacturer may be trying to ride on the coatails of Lenovo's moderately succesful range. Hyping "licenced Windows" and " Full Querty Keyboard" as if they were anything more than base-level requirments for this class of product looks a little spamish.
I think you have chosen the wrong forum to present this toy as a "bargain". It is well overpriced for the second-rate copy it is.
this is pretty dumb.
i know you can't compare the CPU to a smartphone, but if you want a 1080p screen that's the same size, just get a Xiaomi Mi Max 3.
The One Netbook and GPD counterparts are a very niche market that most OzBargainers aren't going to understand. Comparing to a laptop or phone is stupid as they're in completely different categories.
However the Koi Edition looks really good at least.
This model is actually a bootleg rip-off the GPD which did the original design. GPD has tried to take these imitators to (Chinese) court over this. It is just like the mainland Xiaomi rip-offs that are available for half the price of Xiaomi..
The thing with doing tech in Shenzhen is that it's considered a free market where everyone's design is yours to take and improve upon. Meanwhile in other parts of China like Shanghai this practice is frowned upon.
So the suggestion is to always be ahead of the competition like GPD have with their upcoming Micro PC. One Netbook are a tough competitor for GPD anyway as they're owned by Voyo.
it is very much niche with low sales in this day and age. ten years ago you could have a Nokia communicator but since the touchscreen phones came out that combined productivity/media/social media communication, these got killed off. a lot of the keyboard phones did as well.
of course with those who have cash to burn, then this could work. for the rest of us, it just doesn't
Niche doesn't mean crap though.
everyone's entitled to their opinion though.
as is someone entitled to being a rep for another shopping website.
It doesn't mean crap. But because it doesn't sell well, it doesn't have the economies of scale needed to be affordable. Production is kept low, and those who want it have to pay a hefty price for it.
I'm happy that there is someone catering to niche markets though. Plenty of things I like are niche too, but they inevitably end up being discontinued or impossible to find.
@lostn: In the UMPC category these units from One Netbook and GPD are the best selling units. Unless you know of other brands? The sales figures for the GPD Pocket 2 during crowdfunding on Indiegogo were a small 180 units, but in China the sales were over 1300. That's pretty damn good for a small company like GPD.
However you are correct. If they were like the big laptop brands and had the capacity to mass manufacture in large quantities and there was a large demand, we would be seeing these a lot cheaper. The other downside is that Intel will no longer subsidise the price of their hardware now. Hence why there is a serious lack of sub-$100 Windows devices now.
So expensive.
I like the novelty, but the components are weirdly selected.
Y processor = budget, but 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD is not budget. That combination is rare.
Why do you say Y processor is budget? According to Notebookcheck the CPU could perform similarly to an i7, depending on cooling. A better translation than budget may be "High end like i7, but allowing manufacture to sacrifice performance for power efficiency".
In a small chassis a power efficient CPU makes sense because you don't to put a big fan and/or battery in a 7" laptop.
Maybe budget isn't the best word. Lower power I guess?
When you get low power CPUs, it tends to come with less RAM and a small eMMC because the extra stuff is wasted on it anyway.
I don't expect a full i7 in a tiny body, but I expect them to scale down the other parts in order to make the price of the whole unit cheaper.
When you mix upper end parts with a low power CPU, you get something that's difficult to put a compelling price on, and yet doesn't perform like an alternative you can buy at its price range.
According to Notebookcheck the CPU could perform similarly to an i7, depending on cooling
You're never going to get the cooling that it needs to maintain that. They are put into fanless systems. The lack of active cooling plus the low TDP means thermal throttling. Benchmarks are synthetic and don't represent real world conditions.
Well, if you want cheap there have been systems under $200 in this form factor.
If you some reason you want a fanless computer in this form factor you really can't do much better than a 8100Y. When I mentioned that the m3 can perform similarly to an i7 I mention this as evidence that it wasn't budget, not that you could actually get i7 performance in this particular housing. The performance shouldn't be that bad that bad though. Based on the older m3-7Y30 and m3-7Y32, I would expect this to provide over half the single threaded performance of a i9-9900K, similar to an i3, when limited to 4.5 watts. That's not as crippling as (e.g.) trying to do random reads on spinning rust.
Those benchmarks might not reflect this machine since I don't know what power budget they have given the CPU, but I'd expect the tiny keyboard and screen to be far more annoying than the power limit on the CPU.
The real issue here for me is that I've used cheap disposable 7" laptops, but I find even 11" laptops a bit cramped. 13" Seems to be ideal for highly portable laptops. But YMMV.
It’s not a bargain
