    excellent marketing strategy to get us talking about their stuff that would otherwise get almost completely under our radar.

    Optional $200 dock with satisfyingly clicky lever mechanism that is activated from the front.

    They clearly want you to let this one running 24/7, or, can you turn it on using the keyboard and that low power BT thing?

    As long as your default mode is sleep it’d be ok. I touch my PCs power button only when it crashes so horribly that a forced shutdown is the only way out…

    Assuming you mount it on the back of something that would probably be a pretty good place.

    I use a lot of mini Linux computers and mount them to the back of monitors. I could see this design being perfect for that except it’s way more expensive lol
