It was a pretty nifty little device for its time, I used one as my main laptop for a while but it was super duper slow my raspberry pi3 smokes it. It would be so cool if they released that same form factor as a device that you plug your pi into. The actual industrial design was fantastic I would love the same housing to turn my pi into a little laptop.

Indeed. I have three XO-1 from the original G1G1 program, and my small kids love them. They are at this point a little difficult for the kids to use due to slow UI response, degraded touchpad accuracy, lack of limits on objects created in the physics program, text to speech program, etc.

I have been looking for and would eagerly buy a Rasberry PI retrofit kit if someone makes one.
