    from using it as classic laptop at any opening angle, to a space-saving touch display with finger or pen control (not included), to a large Linux tablet

    So it’s a laptop, a tablet, and a tablet?

    The price seems a bit high for an i5 and 6 hours of battery life, but I haven’t been in the market for a laptop for a while, so idk how that compares to other laptops.

      I think €1,200 is somewhat reasonable considering the device overall. But yes, for a regular laptop with an i5, 16GB RAM and 500 GB SSD, the price would definitely be high.

        500GB SSD and 16GB RAM DDR4 costs them less than 90€ combined. The i5 13 certainly is expensive but the overall price seems very inflated, considering there are no costs for Microsoft windows or office either

          i suspect the high price is at least partially due to the low volume of production, economics of scale and all that…

      I’m not an expert but this shouldn’t cost more than 1000 € given the specs. I imagine they’re using hardware sales to fund Tuxedo OS development.
