I've got one of these, you are right about the keyboard and trackball, they aren't great.

I have probably only used it a few times, it is very cool to look at but less so a functional device one could use for serious work comfortably.

A shame. It could be a little bit bigger and get a good keyboard and a bit more of a display, and still look like a TRS-80 model 100.

What I like about it (thinking about getting one) is the upgradeability - the RPi CM4 adapter should give it a couple extra generations, but I'm not a fan of the 480-line display idea unless one could use Wayland to extract more virtual pixels.
