A new “Laptop” for RISC OS? |

Can it move around on those wheels? |

It looks like this is a ‘shell’ for the Pi Compute Module 3, so compatibility hopefully won’t be too much of an issue. Edit: Although, like the Pi 400, no Break key :( |

It’s nice to see something use the compute module, rather than try and wedge a full sized Pi into an extra thick case. |

Makes for more sensible socket arrangements too. |

It’s got a Pause “key” though, which on my keyboard, automatically functions as the Break key. Apart from that, it seems to be more like a Psion than a laptop? |

Looks just like the first ever “Laptop” :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epson_HX-20 The keyboard seems quite small though. |

So it does! It’s in an unusual place and I was on my phone and panned across to the right-hand side of the keyboard, so I didn’t see Pause. Thanks for pointing it out! |

Also, the 3 mouse buttons are interesting, not often you see more than 2, with a trackpad or the clickable scroll wheel, these days. |
