Basic specifications and features
It is made for Trisquel GNU, Debian and Ubuntu 64 bit for ARM.
1. Fanless - less movable parts means more battery time for the processing power and a passive cooling adds to the longevity of the components.
2. Boot and sleep. Superfast boot time as nobody and especially children has/have the time to wait.
Ever since C64/AMIGA times computers should be also able to be switched on/off fast.
Also it is booting using libreboot/coreboot BIOS.
It suspends to RAM and goes to hibernate when battery is at 20%. Properly.
3. It has upgradeable RAM and a processor board featuring second SoC/SoM attachment port.
4. A non-glare screen size is 13.3” 16:10 full HD resolution (200 dpi +) and provides far less strain on user's eyes.
5. A non-reflective (button driven backlight “off”) monochrome mode for very low-power use in sunlight - prolongs a battery life a lot.
6. LED backlit color mode, with an alternance of red, green and blue pixels.
7. A non-glare touch PCAP screen (Projected CAPacitive) as an optional addition for those who like to have fingers on the screen.
8. A detachable webcam with a slide lens cover and a hardware switch for on/off
9. A real volume ceramic wheel potentiometer with a “click” for the on/off functionality.
10. LEGO® Power Functions connector for powering and control actuators, also Power Functions can be used to recharge battery using LEGO® or alike photovoltaic sets.
11. RJ-12 LEGO® “shifted notch” connector for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® series of actuators and sensors
12. Covered, retractable and flexible ribbon attached PIN array - GPIO - General Purpose Input Output for connecting all the things you want to connect it to.
13. Quick charging battery - Long Life Cycle Polymer 10000 mAh – recyclable.
14. Small hot-swap enabling battery.
15. Modular on-board power supply ( follows full ACPI spec.)
16. Waterproof keyboard with ThinkPad style track point.
17. A 3-segments flat-flush touch pad in a “Wacom” style with a mode for the extended touch-pad draw and gestures.
Other features:
It has 5 hardware switches for:
the camera, speakers, the microphones array, Wi-Fi and Ethernet card.
It comes with a detachable USB gender-changer dongle - that should prevent anyone to plug in USB-anything unless it is password unlocked, also when taken out prevents anyone to stick USB-anything in.
A casing is a tough, rugged form-factor done by LEGO® A/S in a multi-colour recyclable plastic with added studs.
Optional:
A stylus for touch-pad drawing (enhanced entropy while generating PGP keys, easy graphic editing, poking someone etc.)
LEGO® keychain for the USB dongle.
