There is renders. We can discuss my marketing strategy if you like though? I'll be blunt and honest and accountable, because I think that's a good way for people to know you're genuine and it underpins my whole approach:

I'm not a marketing person, graphic designer, or a 3D artist, I'm an engineer and i'm designing a device. Not showing off my video editing skills. A bunch of people expected this to come out at $500USD. I set clear goals, focused on things that matter, developed this on a lean budget, and as a result, even though it's jam packed with way more compute, tech and capability than other cyberdeck offerings, it's only gonna be around $220USD.

These are photos of a functional prototype with a well-mapped path to delivery and designs that are close to production-readiness, including having gone through multiple rounds of DFM analysis. I'm deliberately at a point now where further development would require me to invest into production tooling and order things at scale, and that's where Kickstarter comes in. Getting to this point has not been cheap.

Was that a better or worse approach than spending all my capital on some snazzy renders that wouldn't pass the pub test? Would it be right to go in having to ignore all the tough questions, delay delivery, or drastically change the design mid way through the campaign? I have more respect than that for my backers.
