8" screen to make room for a wider touch type keyboard. Specs look interesting. May only be renders and wishes so far.

Might be interesting to keep an eye on how it progresses.

Cool !! I just want a precise pen for it

has to be real, the battery is disappointing

I like the fact they picked a higher capacity drive, but no sd card slot on this.

Also, it worries me when it says on their page "Topjoy is an industry leader and has years of experience and R & D specialized in laptop.", yet I can't seem to find any previous products by them

Are they chinese? Perhaps they made products for other marques before now, but like you say there's no way to check that that I know of.

Don't know, there's no literally only that quote in about me. For "industry leaders", they have zero presence. I can't even find a domain for them.

Isn't that a microSD slot on the right side of the keyboard in the renders?

At this point I don't know if there is anything to find beyond the renders.

Not sure where you're looking, but if you follow to the ogadget site, this image doesn't imply one

Ahh - what I was looking at was the HDMI plug then.

Easy enough to put a microSD inside the USB type A I suppose.

First look at the TopJoy Falcon 8

I was watching a video on Youtube of a first look at a prototype, and it does look interesting. But no MicroSD slot, so no expandable storage without USB.

Yep , that is unfortunate. Although I think since it has an SSD that you will probably be able to take the bottom plate of easily and swap the SSD card.

What reallly lets it down IMO is that it is too big to fit in a pocket. Because of that it competes with 2 in 1's , some may offer better value.

Apparently this is up for pre-order on Kickstarter.

I thought about it. Frankly if the keyboard layout had actually been set up properly for touch typing I might have bought one. As is - there are what I consider fatal flaws to the chosen layout that I would not be likely to overcome easily.
