      At just two hundred and forty Euros, this is a pretty cheap entry point into the ARM laptop space. The TERES-I is a quad core ARM RISC based laptop with 2GB RAM, 11.6" 1366x768 display, 16GB SSD, HDMI, USB, and more. The biggest issue is likely the highly limited RAM.

      TERES-I

      The laptop is designed around Linux, so lots of options as to what to install here.

        Give me 4GB+ and I'd be all over that. An open Chromebook alternative, that could be really sweet.

          Is Chromebook ARM based?

            Depends. I have a Toshiba that's a dual Celeron.

              Is there an option to expand the ram or is it soldered into place with no option for expansion at all?

                They can be either ARM or x86.

                  I didn't see when looking.

                    Not necessarily. Mine is.

                      They can be either ARM or x86.

                      AMD64, not x86. No 32bit options for Chromebooks.

                        You can see the lack of slots here. It's a SoC, no way to expand.

                          Looks like other model boards will be released at some point with more RAM / CPU options.

                            Gee, I'd expect a much better price point for something that you have to assemble....

                              That would be pretty cool.

                                They seem to be promoting the self assembly as a benefit.

                                  Of course, for that price and specs, you could just get a Chromebook and put Linux on it.
