So there isn't actually a Linux version available, and if it does become available it will be more expensive? Why?
A windows key?
There are some companies that sell them, e.g. getdigital:
I was all in on this until I saw the location of some of the keys. Especially under Linux use, I need the tab in a good position

Rumor is that Windows 10 installations on mobile devices are highly subsidized by Microsoft, which is why WIntel tablets are cheaper compared to same specs android equivalents.
Finally decent replacement for Psion 5 MX. It only took 20 years :-D

I thought about buying this, but was put off by the tiny keyboard. Also, I already have a perfectly working dell xps 13 with linux, so this would really be more of a luxury item.
The keyboard is .. okay .. it does take some getting used to, and you will be cursing at it for at least a week, but if you get real work done on it you'll get over this issue after a bit of usage. Its really quite viable.
And the grouped keys is a little hard to get used to.
If they licensed the tech for Psions fold out keyboard for the next version I would probably have to upgrade.

Looks nice - but can it play Youtube without having to close everything else on the system? I've been badly burned by "netbooks" powered by Atom CPUs... nice battery life but forget opening Facebook or Youtube, and the ultra low screen resolution doesn't help either when web sites are designed for FullHD+ monitors.
Neat idea, except that it doesn't actually run Linux and most likely never will.
The only annoying thing is editing some config as the screen is natively a portrait (it is a tablet part).
