| Sorry, I have red it, but don't understand.
Don't seem to be more elegant to start and use a windows program from Workbench, than start WinUAE from windows. |

| It would be nice if the requirement for a PowerUP ROM was removed so that OS4 could be run out of the box too. |

Lots of complains about slow OS4 hardware, and it would be "nice" to emulate it even slower on x86? Ehh... |

| What next a C64 laptop all this retro stuff is cool but I would prefer more man power put towards OS4 on new hardware. Then we can have ALICE on top of OS4 "dream mode off lol" keep up the good every one.

| The ALICE team lineup is impressive for sure!
That said; any chance of a youtube/video demostrating the hardware/software in action? |

| I don't see a finger pad or whatever, I suppose you have to lug around a mouse. |

| I've never seen a laptop without a pad. The one you're looking for is under the cat.

| There is one that has no separate buttons on it. Quite common this time on almost every laptop while apple started it. Most of it IMHO is a crap especially when you need a right click. |

| What is the MAX RAM that will be accessible by any of the flavours of Workbench that run on A.L.I.C.E?

| Well, just repeating what he said during the speech.
There have been very little information beyond this press release, so what he meant with the comments will just be speculations.
Im just assuming he wouldnt have mentioned things like RAM unless they have plans for it.
Hence, it would be nice with spesific details beyond what was shared in the release.
I HAVE been thinking about getting a new laptop for a good while since my current one is on its last legs. So hardware specs AND the Amikit/WinUAE details would be very intresting to read about/watch.
I love AmiKit, so Im excited about Jan bein on the team for sure :) |

| In the pdf press release it says read more at www.a-eon.com.
Is it just me that cant find it, or is the news totally missing from a-eon's site? |

| Yep, we've seen the PDF but even that says "For more information please visit: www.a-eon.com"
There is no more information on the site.
