I’m a bit put off by them calling this open source. Much of the Raspberry Pi is not open hardware. What are we to call a RISC-V-based version, super-duper-open source?
I guess the design of the components is open, so technically could be adopted to a RISC-V Pi alternative. Two promising options would be
Oooh, making a RISC-V SBC that apes the Pi’s layout & pinout is a clever idea.
Love the form factor. That’s right my alley
indeed
Society if those devices had been the precursors of smartphones and not the closed box that were back then:

That looks amazing but 7 hours on a 16000 mAh battery seems a bit low
Assuming nominal voltage of 3.7, that’s about 60Wh. For comparison, the 14" MacBook has a 70Wh battery.
That’s not good battery life but it depends on what kind of usage they’re assuming with that 7H number. I’m not sure a MacBook runs that long under high load. If it’s 7H on a heavy load, that’s respectable.
Edit: not sure what class of device is the best comparison here. Laptop? Tablet? Phone? 🤷
