I don't think the fun of it will last only a weekend, and I don't think you have to get angry at expensive toys. It's more than I would want to pay though.
I currently use the "digital piano" measure of price. My Roland FP-10 + stand cost me around 500 euros, and that is going to bring me many hours of practise and interest. I don't think it's likely that this laptop will beat that, so it's not great value. I don't think it's really terrible though

I really don't think it would last more than a weekend. If I can't use this thing for anything peoductive, why is it even in a portable form factor? If I wanted to tinker with computationally cheap software on the go, any shitty laptop from 10 years ago would be fine. If the only thing I want is tinker with hardware, that's only gonna happen at home anyway, might as well just get a raspberry pi. I just don't see a point of this being portable with such weak components, at that price.
It's my dream laptop form factor with useless hardware in it. Just too good to be true I guess. Maybe someone will make a board with a real computer for it, fingers crossed
But $1500 for a fun weekend project is a disgusting waste of resources that I can't afford. I used to have to live off of less than that for the whole month, so the mere thought of it makes me angry.
