That’s an impressively designed bit of kit.
Guess I have to go barter with the architecture department to use their 3d printer…
It’s so cool I want to die 😩. I would never use it but it looks great.
Drop a SIM card in there and you’re not far off from a modern version of PDAs from back when pocket tech was interesting.
Not for calling of course. Text only (although everyone texts over the internet now - maybe for data as well).

is it touchscreen? looks great
Yes, it’s a touchscreen.
cool, is it compatible with different DEs?
Get out of here!

I kinda want one of these.
Well, this goes on the old birthday wishlist… Awesome stuff!
Nice idea, using 2 batteries instead of one. Now to see if it can be hot-swappable
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social Damn, that looks so neat!
Imagine bringing a calculator to school but it turns out its just an entire desktop 😭
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social that keyboard, complete with the laser pointer button, looks very familiar! Nice job squeezing it into a new housing. The trackball too 👀
@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social “this action is not allowed.” So much for following…
