So... the letter "S" broke. Now I have to replace the whole PC. (Exaggerating a bit, but... not too far off)

Having owned a few folding keyboards... yep, they do break quicker than a regular keyboard.

I'm not sure what breaks inside the keyboard, since laptops have done a 180d fold for decades and the monitor cable rarely ever breaks from all those bending cycles.

If the memory and storage is upgradable, I'd take a second look at it.

or I could just purchase a cheaper, more powerful and capable micro-pc in a tiny box, wireless mouse and keyboard, or if I really push the limits of my imagination, a low-cost laptop? nothing innovative here!

A laptop isn't pocketable. This thing almost is. It's shorter than most phone but thicker, twice as thick as a galaxy fold.

But if you like to get the most immersion even if you’re in a coffee shop, it will also work with VR headsets, like the Apple Vision Pro.

How's that work? Does it use AirPlay? I didn't know that was supported outside Apple devices.

I kinda think it would have made sense to make one with a larger touch pad, much like the Logitech K410 with a full size tough pad to the right.
I know they are thinking a lot of people are going to be using a mouse, but the idea of this is meant to be mostly an 'all in one' (minus the display) that you can take with you anywhere. Expecting to use a mouse means that along with this, you're carrying a mouse with you (plus some sort of display option, depending on where you're going).

Would love one with a DK layout keyboard.. Dont like the US keyboard layout.
It will of course depend on the price. And if it will come with m.2 nvme slots
