Exophase
Nothing good will ever come of Exophase.
If it's really a disassembled BayTrail tablet that is, in my eyes at least, a lot worse than an eval board. Eval boards are meant for prototyping and being connected to other things (either other eval boards/off the shelf parts or your own hardware) in a way that begins to approximate a new design.
Opening up a tablet serves no purpose other than to make it look like you have something that you don't. It's pure deceit and yes, I think it's out of line with their claims of having a "frankenstein prototype". Something they weren't pressured into claiming, and something that isn't that much better than the mess we saw with the Coleco Chameleon.
And yeah the case design looks great, but at this stage doesn't mean a lot to me. I've seen lots of renders of dream products that look amazing, were probably done by amateurs, and were called out as completely infeasible by people who understand the practical limitations that would be in place. They need to prove that their external design can actually support the internal design that hasn't even benn started, while being mechanically and thermally sound.
