The new N150 being put in budget laptops.

I’d imagine one of those cheap N100 laptops would be a better option.

Literally anything would be a better bet.

There are only 2 valid reasons to buy any Raspberry Pi as far as I'm concerned:
- Need for GPIO
or
- Need for commercial support (e.g. long production life cycle)

My old Uncle said the chap in the first 2 vids reminds him of the BBC tech presenters from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. :)

The 16GB RAM/No storage Compute Module is £115.20 by itself, so can't see this coming in anywhere near £400 for a low volume bespoke chassis.

Much like the framework laptop, it's an overpriced fad for hipsters

Why are framework a fad?

Because the products are overpriced, and the downside of everything being modular, means that everything ends up compromised (thicker chassis, big screen bezels, single expansion ports on huge modules).

The whole "upgrade" your laptop thing is a fad, why would you when a new mainboard costs more than a comparable new laptop from any of the main laptop manufacturers.

Because he's not the target audience and doesnt get it?

You're right, I absolutely am not the target audience, and I absolutely don't get it.

However other than people with more money than sense, who want to virtue signal their green credentials, then I'm not really sure who the target audience is?

That's actually seems sensibly priced for a Raspberry Pi product :)

Was thinking this is quite tempting. £85 for the 'basic' 500 with 8GB RAM and no SSD then not even £100 added to double the RAM and fit a 256GB NVMe. Obviously similar price change from the 500 kit to 500+ Kit. Pair a 500+ with one of Raspberry Pi's monitors and that's a neat little set up.
