    what exactly does it do justify a $700 cost if processing is done in the cloud?

    Nothing. Literally just using your phone is faster and easier.

      CPU: Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon (Snapdragon 720G to be exact, they don't list it on their page though)
Memory: 4GB RAM
Storage: 32GB eMMC

      They have a bunch of other HW too (LTE modem, camera, voice etc.), but this does look like one of those “legal” silicon valley type scams.

        Sure it’s got half decent specs, but all the “magic”(read as almost semi-functional) stuff happens server side.

          $700 dollars worth half decent?

          Yeah, it did look like everything happens server-side. Still seems like a borderline scam.

            I’d say it’s so far past the border ICE is hunting it down. And no, like $200 half decent.
