…SpaceOS, which is a built on top of Google’s ChromiumOS…

I’m out.

Linux is… right there. It’s right there.

“it runs a custom operating system called SpaceOS, which is a built on top of Google’s ChromiumOS (the open source version of the software that’s runs on Chromebooks)”

So $2,000 for hardware that’s a brick in 5 years… nice!

"And that software runs on hardware that’s… basically what you’d expect from a decent smartphone. The Spacetop G1 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon QCS8550 processor, 16GB of LPDDR5 memory, and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

With Adreno 740 graphics and a Hexagon NPU, Sightful says the system supports up to 48 TOPS of total AI performance… which would be more impressive if Qualcomm hadn’t just launched its Snapdragon X Plus and Elite chips which deliver 45 TOPS using just the NPU, while also offering CPU and graphics performance that are said to be competitive with Intel, AMD, and Apple processors."

Hmmm… not that you’d still WANT to be running that hardware in 2 years, much less 5…

It’s a neat idea but it looks like the company doesn’t have the resources to create decent hardware to carry it out

This seems really neat, and I hope it doesn’t just die somewhere, certainly a cool idea, but 1080p is not nearly enough pixels to stop you from getting a headache after a short while.

I can’t tell if this is a good idea or a bad idea. Probably a bad idea at that price point with those specs, but this seems like a much more usable and useful form factor than a fully head mounted system when you factor in the weight of the thing on your head and the input method. Like, I might actually be able to do work on this thing unlike an apple vision pro.

Cool, if it works well

If I had $2k and wanted to like like an idiot, I’d put on some giant granny sunglasses and keep the $2k in my savings account.
