We're truly living through the cash grab era. $1400 + a yearly subscription for an extremely vague product that will likely lose support in 2-5 years.
OS subscription is only for Enterprise accounts. I have one of the first units and I don't pay anything for the OS

Does checking work email count? Or buying something from Amazon?
Looks cute, but unsure what it does and why they made it and how i can use for what... Site looks good but it might mean c100 have no substance, thus at least had to make the site and their gadget pretty.
Famous Design House™ decided to make a custom computer. They took a nice PC, made a nice metal box for it, and attached another box to the back. You can put things in this box, which is an unusual accessory for a computer. They also made an OS which will cost a lot of money per seat per year. Then they took many clean smooth fingerprint-free photos and made a web site to try to sell it. The web site makes the box loo…
It sounds similar to System76, where they make pretty PC and OS (like Pop! OS) that goes with it
Oh yes, no matter how good a product is, if marketing sucks, it might not roll.
Is it coming from another project or is it built-in?
I also like the multi-modal scratchpad on the bottom half of the screen.
Edit: ok this is not a distro in the classical sense.
Edit 2: call me perv. but I'd love to see the back of the box where all the connectors are.

I feel sorry for any company trying to launch a new compute product during this window of extremely elevated RAM and SSD prices. This looks well built with a lot of attention to detail. It’s impressive that the price isn’t higher for this level of machining and build quality on a low volume product. I could see this doing well in some niche studios where they value design of all of the products in the office, but it’…
Is it a window? It seems likely to me that we're going to be paying the LLM tax on all of our consumer electronics for the rest of our lives.
I found the UI really interesting. Nice to see a group really trying something new. This really feels a lot like the raw experimentation of computer types and styles in the 80s. https://customer-i8ks9tgi5lkllj0i.cloudflarestream.com/c60aa...
I think they are going for the super premium polished user experience, yet they waste space with adding foreign window decorators to apps that are supposed to integrate them (Chrome, Zed). And not sure why having a single smallish window and tons of empty space is good practice, when tiling wms have shown how to manage lots of windows and large screen estate efficiently..
