Cant wait to see what this is like in personal, excited about the extra battery life it will bring as well.

I think I'll pick it up due to the price being such a low barrier to entry, and that it might really make sense for some specific workflows and/or OS options.

Even if it cant really come out of the case often Bluetooth headsets work on at least a few distros (havent looked into wired ones) and the battery gains by having the larger battery would be nice while further optimization occurs elsewhere.

mhm, I'm not really into bluetooth, I'm more of a tangled-wire guy.
In the end I know when I'm getting myself a pinephone I'll get that keyboard as well, guess I'll suck it up and adapt myself to it.

Who knows, maybe I'll even find it better.
