Intel-backed Finnish startup has turned laptop design upside down

Specs (so far): http://eve.community/t/eve-v-confirmed-specs-1-cpu-ram-stora...

I can't really see the point of Thunderbolt on a non-Mac device - won't that just add a substantial chunk to the required IP licensing costs?

Overall I'm curious about cost. I'd be very surprised if it was cheaper than a corresponding Surface.

Thunderbolt 3 has a huge bandwidth, which enables external GPU solutions like the Razer Core. For gamers who want the flexibility between size and performance, this is great news. How the Eve V will fare with eGPUs, is yet to be seen.

TB3 is Intel, not Apple. And the point is that it has super high bandwidth, enough that you can dock TB3 laptops with a single cable for all your monitors and peripherals.

Also external graphics cards bit expensive right now but I see laptops being able to convert into a powerful gaming pc/workstation just by being docked.
