It looks kind of cool at a glance, but I can't imagine actually owning one of these, assuming it was anywhere near feasible to begin with. It's clearly conceived by people who have no concept of the engineering that goes into squeezing entire computers into something small enough to fit into your pocket. It's supposed to solve the problem of electronic waste, but we'd just be throwing away individual outdated blocks instead. Ugh.
