And if the system was more powerful people would moan and say "why wouldnt I just use my PC?".

Why do it? because someone wanted to and then they did it.

Interesting video. It of a bummer about the price, but the Q & A at least answers some questions.

Yes the price but it kind of figures due to pricing of components and sorry for not noticing the already made thread about this device, but now it is moved and linked properly.

The one thing that does look interesting is the DEV expansion board.

So if somebody is going to try making some other device for the X16 like say a high-end sound card or graphics card they could do that.

Unfortunately my hobbyist days are pretty much done and behind me, just don't have the gumption to do this any more.

It will be interesting to see what people will create hardware and software wise once the machines are ready. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it and maybe even get one when they reach 'phase 2'

They are "Planning" on releasing a Console/Gaming focused device at some point down the road to basically only play the games, supposed to be more cost effective, but only time will tell.

Going to be big problems with this board if one of its chips relies on old 2nd hand parts. They are already finding it difficult, then there might be warranty problems if they break prematurely or the market flooded with knock off painted chips etc...
