The XR Series includes two systems, the XR1 and XR2, both resembling mini desktops but featuring a built-in screen, offering multiple display outputs, including support for three external screens (one 8K and two 4K). The unique feature is the small screen on the device, providing control functions for network appliances or basic PC operations, such as toggling Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, VPN, and more. It also displays system status and allows users to check internet connectivity, processing power, memory usage, and network data.
The device targets various markets, including enterprises seeking Linux out of the box, telecoms for smart customer premises equipment (CPE), and business-to-business (B2B) users interested in launching fully decentralized network appliance services. The latter involves decentralized storage, AI, databases, and other services. The presenter expresses disappointment with major companies like Lenovo and HP for not prioritizing Linux, emphasizing the XR Series as an opportunity to challenge the dominance of Mac OS on ARM and Windows.
Additionally, Planet Computers introduces a 20-terabyte solid-state drive (SSD) for the XR1 unit, positioning it as a powerful home server for storage. The SSD comprises five 4-terabyte M.2 SATA units and is available for purchase at $1,300. The discussion touches on the potential for SSDs to become cheaper than traditional hard drives, considering increased density and evolving technology.
The conversation shifts to the Astro Slide, a smartphone with a physical keyboard, and the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the sale of the original design manufacturer (ODM) to a state company. Despite ongoing discussions, the relationship with the ODM remains unresolved. The presenter expresses commitment to the product and the overall phone lineup, emphasizing the importance of patents and the progress made with the Astro's mechanism.
The presenter envisions a growing ecosystem based on Linux, including smartphones, PCs, network appliances, and decentralized services. The hope is for substantial investments to enable mass production and widespread availability in stores, creating a new ecosystem where consumers can choose Linux-based devices for various purposes. The emphasis lies in fostering a platform that integrates phones, PCs, network appliances, and decentralized services as a cohesive foundation for the future.
