The Miutech Korean monster hit me to the core. As conceived by the authors, it combines a phone on ARM9 / Linux and a netbook on Intel Atom . How much this chimera is needed by the consumer - the market will judge. My thoughts are under habrakat.
The closed device is a large (154 x 75 x 23mm) and heavy (293 g) phone.
Open is a netbook, although I would rather call it a communicator anyway.
A device for real freaks, in my opinion!
The Korean company Miutech is a no-name producer of iron (the recognized designation for this phenomenon by ODM is the original device manufacturer), and usually enters the market under well-known global umbrella brands.
Unfortunately, universal devices often cope with each of their functionalities to a maximum of "satisfactory", but are expensive. As a rule, a penknife with a hammer is not very convenient as a hammer, and too heavy as a penknife. Therefore, they do not win the mass love of the user, but remain episodic purchases, "for fun."
On the other hand, more platforms and devices - good and different! Let manufacturers try, and, in competition for the buyer's dollar, let natural selection leave on the market only the devices most adapted to their own niches. But stupidity let it be punished financially.
Let all the flowers bloom - as, following the ancient Chinese sage, Chairman Mao liked to speak.
Trying to remember a new term: HDPC (hybrid dual portable computer).
