I'm mostly interested in the Frame as a standalone headheld mobile computing device running Linux for virtual flatscreen shenanigans. But at the current market conditions i dont see how i can justify the price for an enthusiast toy to fuck around with.

I already own a Pico4. Its android 10 and has for todays standards a pretty underpowered SOC. But otherwise it comes awfully close to a poor mans Frame. Its good enough and cost me 300(!) bucks 2 years ago.

The low latency foveated streaming is cool and all. But i havent played a single VR title since january. High quality VR games are so rare now and some of the best/better studios are just closing left and right. The main selling point for this device is super uncompelling for me tbh. Even if Valve shadowdrops HL3 alongside the Frame... I wont buy another headset for >1000$ for a single game if i already have one which can play it just fine.
