My hopes as well.

It's about the same size and weight as my one+ 5. Built in terminal with ssh, tab completion, gnome-3.36(!?!) is gui base, wayland. Firefox is basically the desktop version with mobile extension. Doesn't scale to screen right in portrait mode until a reboot after extension install. Can't figure out how to get the keyboard to go away yet. OS based on Alpine Linux. That's pretty cool. Software app is crap for now. Use cli with sudo apk search/add 

I'm wondering how much actual work I'll get done today 🤣
