Too good? Really? NXP i.MX6 CPU. Cortex A9, you know, the one which was kinda slow in the N9 already. Even Purism tried really hard for the slightly less antique MX8 for the Librem 5 (and succeeded).

I'm not asking for the latest greatest, but a 64 bit cpu with some A72 cores, or otherwise web browsing will simply be slow.

On the OS-front they've said next to nothing. What if they present something like Tizen, with "HTML5 apps"-dreck? (On those Cortex A9 cores )

Last but not least: "read the blog", but no RSS/Atom feed anywhere.

Meh. While I don't wear a tinfoil hat, I think I am part of their target audience. Still, I'm unconvinced at best.
