It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

Surely they are aiming for a repairable and modular smartphone eventually. That's going to be super hard to do. My guess is their next form factor will be a tablet.

Tablet is almost free, just don't have a hinge and have a touchscreen. Release as Chromebook, it will run Android applications

Why Chromebook?

[–] iopq@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

To run Android stuff on x86

Linux can run Android apps since we have Waydroid too and it's universal, no need for single device - single OS nonsense.

You can install Linux on their Chromebooks, so it would be good to have the choice. Some people will prefer a slightly more seamless Android experience and some people will prefer Waydroid
