That looks amazing but 7 hours on a 16000 mAh battery seems a bit low

Assuming nominal voltage of 3.7, that's about 60Wh. For comparison, the 14" MacBook has a 70Wh battery.
That's not good battery life but it depends on what kind of usage they're assuming with that 7H number. I'm not sure a MacBook runs that long under high load. If it's 7H on a heavy load, that's respectable.
Edit: not sure what class of device is the best comparison here. Laptop? Tablet? Phone? ๐คท
Society if those devices had been the precursors of smartphones and not the closed box that were back then:

Iโm a bit put off by them calling this open source. Much of the Raspberry Pi is not open hardware. What are we to call a RISC-V-based version, super-duper-open source?
I guess the design of the components is open, so technically could be adopted to a RISC-V Pi alternative. Two promising options would be
Oooh, making a RISC-V SBC that apes the Piโs layout & pinout is a clever idea.
Love the form factor. That's right my alley
