[Arm-netbook] Well, this is interesting...

Neither ARM nor netbook, strictly speaking, but we've veered off topic
before, so gee why not...

Looks vaguely relevant.

That is very impressive! I'd rather get the laptop chassis for the
eoma68 for that price though.

Those are some awesome machines. r/thinkpad went nuts on the x62 when
it got released.

There are a lot of people who swear by thinkpad keyboards and the
lenovo trackpoint. These machines are amazingly built for what they
are: the ports fit right into the old holes and the thermals are
actually really, really good. Very well designed and if I recall
correctly there were some fan noise issues on the early editions which
got fixed later on.

A question that popped my mind though: We do know that newer nodes up
to finFET give better perf/dollar when used on scale so explaining why
a sbc like the rpi is possible today is easy. Has the same happened in
pcb fabrication? This is a very high end board that costs 700$ and
includes the cpu which retails for several hundred bucks. I'm
surprised at the cost at which they made these.
