Wasn't the deal with raspberry pis that they were tiny and cheap? I'm out of the loop as usual, but what is the appeal of a raspberry laptop?

[–] renegadespork@lemmy.jelliefrontier.net 6 points 5 months ago

I would consider $300 very cheap for a laptop in 2025, though I imagine the appeal is more the open and “hackable” nature of the platform.

The CM5 performance is good enough for a casual web browsing machine, and it uses very little power, so it’ll last forever with a decent battery.

Prices and capabilities have been increasing. The benefit having specifically the Raspberry Pi in a laptop (versus another ARM solution) is the massive ecosystem around the Raspberry Pi.

It's a con that the keyboard and trackpad are usable? I looked at the review to see why and he says its servicable..so unsure what it means by it being a negative.

Probably just means that it's really not that good. So it's at best usable, rather than any amount pleasurable to use.

I really don't like that they misused a pair of USB connectors for the GPIO. There are lots of other connectors that are much more suitable for that.

As long as i can pop the pi out and put in a better one when it comes out, this seems great. Otherwise its shite.
