You know how big a 30wh battery is right?

Its about 30% of the volume of your libretto and half the weight and will turn in around twice the battery life… and you dont think that’s progress?

can you post some pics with the 5mm thick key/wallet storage compartment that is inside this unit ?

I am assuming that is what they are doing with the extra thickness, since this device is roughly _double_ the thickness that a:

- screen
- chipset
- soldered on SSD [1]

device needs to be.[2]

[1] I know it’s not an SSD. But it should be.

[2] 10 (ten!) years later, this device is the same thickness as my toshiba libretto 110ct. And that had two pcmcia slots…

Marc. This is not silent but a lot lot quieter and cooler than the B1. I suspect the fan will be off mostof the time.

Tony. Running a movie through the processor is going to add about 2W of drain which will give you a good 4 hours. Running it through the Poulsble decoding hardware will be even better.

Very interesting indeed.

If only they weren’t so ugly!

My biggest question is noise. The original was very noisy, but I have silent Atom based devices here. Could this possibly go the same way?

Oh, it’s so tempting to swap my Everun for this – more CPU, a ‘keyboard’, very tempting. Have you tried running a movie in a loop to see how the battery lasts if you stress it?
