    As far as I can tell, it's basically a P650RS without a monitor/panel attached.

    Identical CPU/GPU/chipset/M.2/SATA/ports/network but with a smaller battery. The port layout is different though.

    I'm guessing it's targeted as a "thin" desktop or perhaps even a backpack PC.

    Pretty cool. Looks like a vertically mounted laptop. I'd be interested to know how they play on cooling it quietly.

    Well, bummer. It's crippled with BGA... how sad, and totally lame.

    It's designed to be a 'VR backpack'. :)

    It's just a "VR Ready PC", not really/exclusively designed as a VR backpack (well not in the current form as shown on the website anyway) ;-)

    BGA laptop is bad enough, BGA desktop is just taking it to far. :)
