I have to agree. The Talon looked amazing, but the crowdfunding price was way out there.

They should have offered a bare version with just the board, ram and maybe video card (to ensure comparability). They needed the ~$1k USD hobbyist market.

It seems like the goals were way too high, like the Ubuntu Edge.

They did offer that, but the board alone was $3,700.
