Never heard of this, wonder if it'll be vaporware or not

They have a solid track record shipping laptop docks (NexDock), so I wouldn't be too concerned.

Good luck launching this during the largest component shortage in history.

Looking at the specs, they're pretty dismal for something that's supposed to be a laptop replacement. A 5000 mAh lithium Ion battery will turn to dust in a year when this thing will be constantly plugged in and running the CPU at or close to max for a minimum of 8 hours every day.
