From what I can tell it adds to the $35 pi:
- a case w/integrated speaker
- a keyboard/trackpad combo
- a wifi dongle
- nice manual
That's not too bad for the added $65. The mini keyboard looks nicer than the ~$20 FAVI ones[1] I usually use.
At first I thought they'd figured out a way to add a screen. That would be great. But it looks like you need to supply your own.
I work with students in Uganda and it's hard to beat what you get from a $200 netbook. Much faster processor than a pi, plus the screen is integrated. You can't do GPIO stuff like you can with a pi though, so there are trade-offs. Twice the price of this, too.
Looks like a great project to me!
