Hilarious reading people reactions to this
"I could build one myself for less than a grand":
Yep, you probably could, and maybe even get it with a touch screen, and some kind of thumbstick device to drive it, and a pile of batteries in a pelican case. But really, for a clean setup in a road case, this isn't a bad deal, and would be a welcome addition to the tool kit for road warriors and trade shows.
"3HRs isn't enough battery" and/or "How would we recharge it?"
Yeah, while SOME of you that may not fit your own personal viewing needs or road trip/campout setup, this is actually a good fit for the coming age. As several people pointed out, the sorts of places you would likely take this probably have some power onsite, like the campgrounds that cater to the road trip crown, not the ultralight backpacker set. Cars are coming with inverters built in, and if you have a PHEV or EV you may be able to run this thin for weeks. Solar or a generator would also work if you are into that sort of thing. So the battery is backup if you don't want to run your generator after the kids go to sleep on a dirt biking weekend.
"1080p60 is for proles, naught but 8K@240hz is QuadHDR over 3" thick monster cables can play my vintage VHS dubs in their full glory"
Other than the one input port, the hardware choices seem to make reasonable sense. 1080p at 30 frames is reasonable for most media, and tolerable for most gaming. We survived on it in console land for years. The lag on your tethered cell connection will end your spree in counterstrike faster than the framerate, and are you really dragging a gaming rig along for the ride?
So yeah, it's be cool to see a couple of USB power ports and a more video inputs if they ever make another version of this, but for a low production volume device, it seems like they hit most of the marks on the first try.
Anybody want to bet how long it takes for these to show up in a TV or movie scene? Betting it's a spy thriller or hacker and they have like three of them set up under blue florescent lights in front of some kid wearing a hoodie.
