> The ultimate all-in-one PC

I object to this labelling: the term “all-in-one PC” has always been used to mean a computer integrated into a screen, to which you must add a keyboard and mouse (or more likely it will be bundled with a low-quality keyboard and mouse). But this is a computer integrated into a (good) keyboard, to which you must add a screen and mouse—and screens are more expensive than keyboards. Even a basic not-too-horrible screen will cost another $80, and the sort of screen you might like to pair with such a keyboard might be double that.

Yeah; the marketing language around new Pi products is always a bit flowery... besides this misnomer calling it 'AIO', the marketing also says "uncompromising performance" and "premium desktop computer", which I'd argue are quite a stretch, unless you're comparing it to SBCs and not... desktop computers!

I also don’t get the language and would prefer to supply my own Keychron with a regular raspberry pi.

Spending more on the keyboard than on the pi! :-)

Yeah but screens are dirt cheap if you are willing to buy them used via classified ads.

This keyboard https://www.norbauer.co/products/the-seneca?variant=48640876...

is more expensive than Pro Display XDR with nanotexture and the 1k stand

Adam Savage posted a video a couple of weeks ago, where he discusses this keyboard with Ryan Norbauer. That thing is overengineered to the point I'd argue it actually becomes some sort of artistic statement.

Overpriced to the point that it becomes an artistic statement: “The buyer fell for it again”
