I got a fw16 love it.
Is the 12 on the same board as the 13 or is it its own main board?
New board size was dictated by the smaller form factor I believe. Still will be very interesting to see what options come out in time.

I e got an i3 one of these on order and should turn up next month. I need to buy RAM and an SSD, but I think it'll end up around £750 all in. Will replace my 11yo MacBook Air 11 inch. Mac OS just went in the wrong direction under Cook.

Imagine Slate without Bezos
Would be so exciting
I have. Then I realize Slate doesn't get a chance to change vehicular design without him.

I considered it, but the specs were too low. Ended up choosing a Google Pixel instead.
specs were too low
what usage was limited by specs?

blowing my mind, i think this thing might make a good smartphone replacer
how do you use it with one hand?
imo that's the only benefit of having a smartphone. any other computer can do internet calls too

Care to elaborate?
They used to have poor band support in north America, though that seems better now on the 5. I'm still salty about the removal of the headohone jack though.

Intriguing, care to say more?

So... this is a 2-in-1 that is actually repairable? Am I reading this right?
Edit: Disregard. I have the 13, not the 12.
~~Normal laptop formfactor. You can have a touch screen as an option but it doesn't do the full 360 fold round into a tablet.
I own one and the hinge goes 180.
It's an excellent laptop, I grabbed one when the first AMD board was available and it runs Fedora flawlessly and has windows on an SSD when I need it.~~

I think EV battery cells should be standardized and modular to reduce difficulty of replacement and make replacements cheaper and more available so that it could extend the useful lifespan of the car. If you could replace your battery with an off the shelf equivalent used EVs would hold a lot more value.
That's batteries of the past. The rate of change in batteries has been so dramatic it has left people's understanding behind.
Batteries will far outlive when a ICE car would have been scrapped.

I see 80s 90s era cars and trucks running around my town all day every day.
Try again.

my hands are not agile enough to accurately use a 5 or 6 inch touchscreen
when i use a phone one handed, i am struggling through about a 35% mis-input rate and then the general unresponsiveness of Android on top of that

Averages are much better than edge cases in this sort of comparison.

EV Batteries Can Easily Outlast A Typical Gas Car’s Lifespan: Study
The average car in America is 14 years old. EV batteries can last longer, according to a new study.

I just want an electric car that can do exactly this.
Modular components on an option of 3 frames. Reparable to a degree. Bare bones functionality. Physical buttons, no screens. Open source software. Upgrade not the whole car, but components as you go. Literally what video games taught us.
If I had Mark Cuban money, it's the first thing I would do.
I think that has more to do with safety laws and emission standards than anything else. How can you properly crash test a fully modular car?
I'd love it if cars were more repairable, but modular would be a really tough design problem.
Heck, you NEED a screen in the US on any car due to backup cameras being mandatory. If you need a screen, I can see why companies would just use it for the infotainment system.

Hey, my client doesn't show that your comment contains anything, I think you're missing the exclamation mark before the link.

Yeah seems like lots of good opportunities for old boards of a smaller form factor with diy projects etc

Want me to 3d print one for you?
I found a few pre-made designs:
What's the best way to order a print if you dont have a printer yourself? Is there a site you can order from?

My right? Indeed.

There are services online. I don't use any of them, so I'm not comfortable making recommendations.
That being said, printers are getting cheap and really easy to use, so it may be worth looking into buying one for 200 bucks. Even without knowing how to model, there's a ton of free designs out there.
