You mean… no SSD?
not even a M2 slot like the latest chinese laptops… for $500 that’s a shame. Even if we know the price will quickly drop to $350.
From their indiegogo page :
“And if you do run out of space, we’ve got you covered, with a microSDXC (TF) card slot that can be used to double the storage space. (card not provided). ”
=> lol
Their comparison table is funny.
Surface Pro 4 : 2 cores – 4 threads – up to 2.2 Ghz
Surbook : 4 cores – 4 threads – up to 2.2Ghz
So anyone would think Surbook is faster (maybe even 2x faster cause it has 4 cores instead of 2). I call BS on this : Surface Pro 4 has a Core M3 6Y30 while Surbook only has an Apollo Lake N3450, which is OK but nowhere as powerful as Core M3.
Why it is 35% heavier than iPad pro even though both of them are made from metal?
