oh Kraaaaneeee...

Krane is an aarch64.. tablet thing, with an exceptionally funny name.
Interesting features include:

  • Detachable keyboard, with USB on five pogo pins (VCC, GND, D+, D-, Sense. Pinout pending)
  • Relatively thin as far as chromebooks go, especially without the sleeve
  • Compatibility with all USI pens, making it an excellent device for taking notes

More info can be found on Krane's postmarketOS wiki page.
