Okay, so is this biodegradable, or is it "biodegradable"?
For instance, PLA is "biodegradable" - it can only be composed in an industrial composting plants. Does this chassis simply disintegrate into plastic compounds, or is it reduced to bio-friendly materials (carbon dioxide, water, and biomass)? Can I throw it in my compost heap and have it rendered as biomass after a couple months? If not, it's going to take up room in a landfill.
MicroCenter sells their cheapest laptop with Windows 10 included for $79.99 . https://www.microcenter.com/product/646649/evolve-iii-maestr... So... ?
I suppose the headline might be true if "PC" means "a computer with an x86 processor that can mostly run modern Windows." But, I'd recommend most people in this market look at either a Raspberry Pi or a Chromebook, depending on what they're trying to do.
Interesting that it's using the Atom x5-Z8350. I've seen idle power consumption under 1.5W on these chips when software is setup properly. I'm wondering if intel are still selling these chips or are they going to run out when supply dries up?

I think ARM would be allowed, but for a layman to consider it a PC, you probably do need the windows capabilities.
You know what's better than Pentaform? Any of the companies doing refurbishing and resale of used PCs. I can get a laptop that has everything built-in and the same performance as this cheap wasteful keyboard for the same price. Amazing! But damn they suck at marketing. If only they claimed to launch the world's most affordable and environmentally friendly PC. Guess they didn't have the money for that.

Otherwise, I would agree. The MSRP of the Pi is better, as is the feature set.
