ok so EVE is this really small startup that was founded
to be like a disruptive device maker with an emphasis
on community feedback to help them
design the best products for their community, to which I
would normally go, well gee you guys taking community
feedback is a great way to get an awful lot of uhh
let's say, how about we call them
C minus ideas. But, the V 2-in-one Windows
device that they're showing off here at the show,
demonstrates that they've got the ability to
filter through the guidance they're getting from their
users and pick out the best ideas because this
is looking pretty good.
Every device has the same basic specs.
So they've got a 12.3 inch display
running at a 2736 by 1824 resolution
and what's more than that they've managed
an impressive 1400 to 1 contrast ratio,
a basically air gapless display design,
ten point multi-touch, and a 100% QC check policy.
So every single device is going to get calibrated
right out of the factory. And the I/O is looking pretty
good too, they've got two noise cancelling microphones
as well as speakers along the top.
They've got two USB type-A ports, a USB type-C port
a thunderbolt port, and, low and behold, even a
headphone amp! wow! how did they manage to do that
in a device in 2017?
WiFi is handled by an internal 2x2 AC wireless card
and you can wake with just one touch thanks to the integrated fingerprint sensor
in the lock button.
Every single one is going to include their 1024 pressure level
and two button pen
as well as this Alcantara cover that has a Gorilla Glass covered trackpad
as well as an RGB-backlit keyboard.
So pricing-wise
it's starting at $799 which is pretty darn competitive with the Surface Pro
with a Core m3, 8 gigs of RAM, and a 128 gig NVMe SSD
and it goes up to... well we don't quite know
but probably somewhere in the in the 1500 dollar range
for a Core i7, 16 gigs of RAM, and a 512 gig SSD
which, when you put it up against the Surface Pro
is looking pretty impressive, like it's over 500 dollars cheaper
So how did they do it? I guess it comes back to the whole
collaborating with the community idea.
Well they ended up with a little bit of a thicker device
but I like this trade-off.
They get a massive 48 watt hour battery
and, were able to fit full-sized USB 3 ports on it.
Pretty freaking cool!
And there's other stuff too.
The community said, "You know what, don't worry about spending a bunch of money on the webcam,
we're not going to use it that much."
And so, they didn't
So then, bottom line, this is hardly a comprehensive review of the device
I only got to spend about an hour with it but
I feel like there's still
a lot to say, like it's shocking how how price competitive
this small startup has managed to be with a massive company like Microsoft
and while the device is actually not even available yet –
they're going to be doing a run of them that will be available for purchase sometime in the summer –
I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I think if their goal is to be kind of like a
OnePlus of Windows devices,
they are on a pretty good track right now.
