This device looks neat,

and once Flidas is released one could migrate from Ubuntu 16.04. I would expect that as USB dongle will be needed for WiFi. What else would it take to liberate this device?

yea, usb free wifi needed. thats only thing but for bios to my
knowledge. there some experimental risky thing for "disabling" intel ME.

gearbest do a flash sale now and then. best price was £340. I would get
an account add it to favourites and wait for promo emails ;)

note, might be best to assume gearbest sell your details (i think
banggood.com are worse, they show up on zuckerbook).
Gearbest is very cheap, particularity/only/mainly in there flash sales.
not always. sometimes its best to wait for a future one.
Based on my smaller orders i would expect you to not have customs pains
in the uk ;). cant be sure but i feel positive.

Im thinking about getting one. idk theres also the pyra but it also have
non-free wifi,bt,i assume gps is non-free as its with the mobile modem
version... idk i hope for the best, need to find out about the gps.
better then mainstream andorid phones i expect. the pyra has a free
bootloader and good working but non-free wifi unlike the gpd which as
sucky wifi due to metal case and the device design.

really i would like to buy a handheld eoma68 computer :D. Hope someone
makes one :D. Pledged for the laptop and micro desktop. Looking forward
to them. ya can use the laptop as a dock for the GPD with the passthough
card btw ;). You can still make a pledge if you like the sound of that :)

Thanks for the links. Gearbest seems to only be selling the device with Windows 10, not Ubuntu. Do you know if the bootloader supports booting into and installing another OS from a USB drive?
