Those are some awesome machines. r/thinkpad went nuts on the x62 when it got released. > > That is very impressive! I'd rather get the laptop chassis for the > eoma68 for that price though. There are a lot of people who swear by thinkpad keyboards and the lenovo trackpoint. These machines are amazingly built for what they are: the ports fit right into the old holes and the thermals are actually really, really good. Very well designed and if I recall correctly there were some fan noise issues on the early editions which got fixed later on. A question that popped my mind though: We do know that newer nodes up to finFET give better perf/dollar when used on scale so explaining why a sbc like the rpi is possible today is easy. Has the same happened in pcb fabrication? This is a very high end board that costs 700$ and includes the cpu which retails for several hundred bucks. I'm surprised at the cost at which they made these. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
