Crowd-designed convertible PC Eve V i7 costs $1,399 on Indiegogo [Update]
Update: Eve-Tech sold out its initial batch of 500 Eve V convertible PCs in 3 hours and claims the title of the fastest European Indiegogo campaign to reach $100,000 of funding.
The company is now offering reservations for another batch of Eve Vs that will be sent out in April or May. While total prices remain the same (see below), the Eve m3 will require a down payment of $199. The i5 will need $299 while the i7 will need $399 for a reservation. Each perks package now only includes a keyboard and a two-year warranty.
The prices on Indiegogo represent a major markoff from full price — the suggested retail price of the Eve V i7 is about $2,149.
Our original story is below.
Eve-Tech’s crowd-designed “Pyramid Flipper” project, now known as the Eve V Windows 10 convertible PC is on sale with debut model prices ranging between $699 for one with an 7th generation Intel Core m3 processor inside and $1,399 for one with a tablet-grade Core i7 inside.
The 2-in-1 is one of the first to come with the Kaby Lake series of processors and is comparable or better in price to current competing products like the Samsung TabPro S, the Huawei MateBook and the ASUS Transformer 3 Pro.
Other specs (a full slate of which you can find here) include four speakers, various I/O including two full-sized USB ports and two USB-C ones (one with Thunderbolt 3) and a 48Wh battery that bests its competition and is claimed to provide up to 12 hours of “real” usage.
The going prices on these SKU packages includes Windows 10 Home, — with a $50 option to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro — “Limited edition” engraving, the V Pen stylus, an Alcantara keyboard, a lifetime 5 percent off at the Eve Store and a two-year warranty.
| Spec | Eve V m3 | Eve V i5 | Eve V i7 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | 7th Gen Intel Core m3-7Y30 | 7th Gen Intel Core i5-7Y54 | 7th Gen Intel Core i7-7Y75 |
| RAM | 8GB LPDDR3 | 8GB LPDDR3 | 16GB LPDDR3 |
| Storage | 128GB | 256GB | 512GB |
| Price | $699 | $959 | $1399 |
As of this post, about half of the 500 units offered have been sold off. These units will ship out through February.

You may convince ZTE to release a stock Android phone
We are just a couple weeks out from the holidays in the US. It’s usually a barren time for major surprises but we’ve recently been left with too many of them to not expect a few more by year’s end. The one we’re talking about right now may come from Chinese manufacturer ZTE.
Yes, the company that let its community take control over what one of its flagship products in 2017 would be.
And it’s listening to more of its users about what it can do with Android to help them, too. And there’s namely one thing ZTE can do to satisfy many in that community: nothing. Or rather, it can release a stock Android phone. The company is polling its US crowd on why it wants a stock or near-stock Android experience. And so far, there’s a clear blowout priority.
As of this post, 40 percent of the responses pointed to “cleaner user interface and skin” as the big priority. Struggling above 10 percent are “quicker updates,” “longer support,” “better overall performance” and “greater dev support for custom ROMs.” Only 6 percent looked to stock for “less bloatware,” and 5 percent for “lower defects.”
Looks are superficial, for sure, but so is the poll. Many took to the comments to expand on secondary priorities and to make it clear that those reasons for vanilla Android are just as important. Some nitpicked about high DPI settings, ease of feature adaptability and lag-proofing.
“The issue is the custom stuff added on axon 7 is actually pretty unsubstantial, unlike the heavier themes from huawei or samsung,” wrote user chickendig. “Basically every change feels more like a hassle or an annoyance than a legit improvement over stock android. It’s a lot of ‘change for the sake of change’ instead of ‘meaningful change’.”
Findings from this thread will be presented to the company’s R&D team and users with “the most thoughtful responses” will be rewarded. Oddly enough, a late stage option was added to the Project CSX for the company to develop a stock Android phone. Maybe we could see a side project come along the way…
