Something I would definitely not have a need for, but it looks pretty cool. They various types of configurations.

They would need to create some software for it as well. Otherwise it's just a small hard to use computer. If the UI is actually adapted to be usable in this form factor, it would be an amazing product.
I would love to have a new form factor to shake things up. Something small and portable, but without being just a touch screen, devolving into basically a tablet or phone. Something that uses actual physical buttons to do stuff.
Excited to see what they want to do. If it's just plans to put off the shelf components into a 3D printer case I would be disappointed. There's plenty of designs for that already and people make their own all the time. But if they take it to the next level, yeah that's worth funding for sure.

there are going to be accessories like a keyboard, etc., so it should quite adapable in that regard.
It looks like they have Blender running on it already.
ecactly. blender is not suited for this form factor. It's pretty much useless
As someone who uses 3D programs. I agree. I think it was mostly fun to see what can run, since Blender is an open source program that can run on ios, windows and linux.
