Looks cute, but unsure what it does and why they made it and how i can use for what...

Site looks good but it might mean c100 have no substance, thus at least had to make the site and their gadget pretty.

Nice, I've always wanted my desktop PC to be coupled to the keyboard.

We're truly living through the cash grab era. $1400 + a yearly subscription for an extremely vague product that will likely lose support in 2-5 years.

I have one of the units from the first run where 96GB of RAM was offered.

Personally speaking I was buying it primarily for the design aesthetic (an industrial design partner from Pentagram was involved), but I've come to enjoy the Workbench OS UI features and associated shortcuts; I use it as a secondary work machine for various data science applications.

I can attest to the general build quality which so far seems high to me.

Nice design, but the website is vague. What about the actual tech specs (not simply GB of ram and SSD space) or a picture of the "user-replaceable" internals? How about a picture of the port layout? About the workbench operating system, the information is also surprisingly light.

Am I missing context here that others have that make this website sufficient?

Who came up with this and then designed it around a non-standard keyboard layout... Jail is the only answer.

Why does it have a frunk?

The tray is really funny, but i doubt it'll find many customers

> Caligra Workbench Operating System

This hardware runs an operating system that requires a subscription for commercial use? https://caligra.com/workbench/#pricing

why does it come with attached storage unit for my calipers?

I'm glad PC manufacturers are taking snack drawers seriously. A shot of the IO would be nice and is the computer in the keyboard or in the snack box?
