     @wiredfire @jacqueline out of curiosity/market research, what would be the max amount you were willing to spend for such a device?

     @jacqueline Looks to be out of my price range for now but I’ll be keeping an eye on it all ^_^

     @jacqueline Only just now discovering the Pocket Reform.. it looks like **exactly** the in-between form factor I’ve been hankering after for years!’

     @wiredfire @jacqueline thanks for the insights, and no worries, it's just interesting for me to learn about different computer buying/owning perspectives

     @mntmn @jacqueline I’m not sure my thought on it would be especially helpful as you’re targeted at higher end users than me 😉 the pocket reform is a *beautiful* piece of hardware but I don’t need the level of build quality or mechanical keys etc..

     As a secondary device I’d probably top out at £350. For context a long time ago I bought a £200 Chromebook and got 8 years usage out of it and was OK with the slightly flimsy build 😝

     Which isn’t to say the Reform is overpriced for what it is!
