Man, I remember stumbling on this project every few years. 5 or so years ago I remember being tempted to preorder one, but decided I'd just wait until it was ready.
Now it just kind of makes me sad. Sure, some people will be really happy with this, and I hope they enjoy them, but for most use cases there's just so many better products out nowadays IMO.
Because of the GPU it's not really suited to be positioned as an "open source friendly" design, and if that's not important, GPD has a lot of really good products now. Most aren't quite as small, granted, but I imagine a pinephone with a keyboard case would be a close match. The physical controls (especially for gaming) probably wouldn't be as good, though...
