  I’d love to play around with something like this, as a programmer myself, but unfortunately the cost is prohibitive in my country.

    Yeah, that’s why it’s still in the “considering” phase for me as well - especially considering Trump’s tariffs crap. It also seems a tad underpowered for the price, and they still don’t have the promised removable battery replacements in their store.

    It’s worth remembering, though, that the cost covers the constant software updates, as well as their user support. As such, it’s much like the Apple model of business, except much more open, so in the end it’s probably worth it.
