Well, I’m technically “on the go” right now and my phones work fine.

What I’m saying is, the use case is limited.
You can carry a bag for your laptop and have other things in it vs. fitting an 8" device into the bag you’re carrying.
The use case seems pretty limited:
“when I’m on the go and I don’t have room in my bag for a full-sized laptop”
First, if you’re on the go, do you need a computer with you? Second, if you do, that’s what a dedicated laptop bag is for.
If you have to carry a separate keyboard, it defeats the purpose of an 8" laptop…
480i/480p is 1/4 of 1080p so that seems accurate to me.
Dreamcast is the purple square in the upper right:
You can pretty much design a poster in any art program and there are bunches and bunches of them out there. There isn’t any one specific one just for posters that I’m aware of.
I mean, it theoretically runs on hydrogen so it’s zero emission. Beats a dirt bike!
There is a physical model, but definitely not rideable, looks like it just barely leans up and down, but they did get something real to display:
Remember standing in line to get in? The energy? Fans all vibing over something they either hadn’t seen yet or were going to see for the 3rd, 4th, 5th time…
When was the last time anyone had to line up for a movie? 🤔
I caught Thunderbolts* Thursday night, bought tickets online. Even had the option to buy popcorn and soda online and have it waiting for me when I got there.
No lines. No fan interaction. Get in, watch the movie, GTFO. Chop, chop. Re-fill those seats.

Based on what we know about the Boston Dynamics Robot Dog, which last time I checked started at $75,000, I’d expect this to be similar. It’s not automomous so that would make it cheaper, but it also needs to be robust enough to carry a person which adds cost.
Yeah, you’d need a specialized service for it. Locally we have these places:

That’s what I was thinking. 2nd thought: Does it come in green?
I would have linked directly to the Kawasaki site, but it’s less news article and more promotional:

Physical reveal here… but more of a model.
Yeah, but you don’t have to feed it and dispose of poop. :)
They state that each leg has it’s own motor so there would have to be some kind of standardization there.
I can’t imagine electric motors being THAT hard to swap out, I mean, my wheelchair has two of them and they’re user replacable. (Right hand motor and Left hand motor being separate units).
I’m not sure about user REPAIRABLE, that’s a different deal, but at a minimum user replacable.

It looks like a panther to me.
Some people are capable of distinguishing good from bad. Others are 12.
I do, but if you need an actual computer, say for work or something, they don’t cut it. They’re cute, but as you see above, the limitations drag them down.
By the time you put in the gear to make them workable, you might as well just pack a proper laptop.
