Preliminary X7A Modular Computer Specs Released
Dear Kickstarter Fans & Followers:
First of all, thank you for your interest and support in our efforts to bring 2 new Xi3 Modular Computers to the world through this Kickstarter project -- Xi3: Help us Usher in the Post-PC Era.
It's also been quite gratifying to receive the attention and backing we have thus far. Thank you.
Several of you have asked us to release additional information on our new machines -- the X7A Modular Computer and the X3A Modular Computer -- beyond what was initially disclosed in our Project and Pledge Level descriptions. Some individuals have even expressed frustration that we have not provided actual specifications on these products, especially the X7A, as this was never our intent. If anything, we have perhaps been overly sensitive to staying in harmony with the new Hardware Guidelines published by Kickstarter about a week ago.
In the end, however, I am happy to report that we have now finalized the specifications for both the X7A Modular Computer and the X3A Modular Computer, respectively. Below within this update you will find specifications page from the Data Sheet for the X7A Modular Computer.
Please feel free to continue to make comments or send us private questions about this Project, the forthcoming or current products described herein, and or anything about Xi3 Corporation. Additionally, we invite you to visit our Website at www.Xi3.com for tons of additional information about all things Xi3.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Dave Politis, CMO Xi3 Corporation
P.S. Please note that Kickstarter settings do not allow the PDF uploads within this Update section, so the image below is a JPEG of the Data Sheet. Our intent is to provide a downloadable PDF version on our Website soon.
P.P.S. We plan to publish the Data Sheet for the X3A Modular Computer as a new Kickstarter update later today.
