Its specs are arguably oudated and the performance can be considered lacking especially on the GUI/video front. It's not "completely open hardware", i.e. blueprints for CPU and other circuitry may not be available; but it requires no single binary blob to fully work, including things like the built-in wifi. And with this having a Chinese-designed domestic CPU you can certainly feel safe from any CPU-level *NSA* backdoors at least. :) [1] http://www.tekmote.nl/epages/61504599.sf/nl_NL/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61504599/Products/CFL-004-2 -- With respect, Roman
