I feel the same way, as pointed out by what I said about the Pyra being a decent ARM PC. The Pyra can easily replace one's laptop.

The plus of Pyra is that it's going to fulfill the notebook replacement thing *much* better than Neo900, and phone functionality is nice bonus, that means I won't need to carry a "dumb phone" with me. B'cause, really, the notebook functionality on the go in my pocket is *much* more important than phone-like ones - for the latter, one can carry ultra-lightweight "dumb"phone with battery life exceeding anything that "smartphones" or "phablets" offer, sometimes by order of magnitude.
Alright. When you said, "...the notebook functionality on the go in my pocket is *much* more important than phone-like ones...," you forgot the, "...for me," bit. This is essentially the crux of my entire purview; if the Pyra works for you, then it works for you. It won't work for everybody, and as it stands, it's up to each individual to determine that.

With that said, I can see that the Pyra will work for you (as you already determined), and I can respect that.

Now, many major things for notebook-in-pocket replacement - like connecting to external monitor/tv - are natural on Pyra, while remaining "maybe" (and requiring some hooping through the flaming loops) on the Neo900.
Quite the caveat for the Neo900 indeed, should proper video-out not materialize. For the notebook-in-pocket replacement aspect of it, that is.

Last but not least = this post wouldn't be complete without mentioning that - the "minor" fact that Pyra comes from people that did successful projects in the past is "the"*thing too, for me. Neo900 leadership have a background of scorched earth, burned bridges, rage quits and unfulfilled promises. IMO, this marks the difference between "promising project" and "vaporware".
Ouch. Do you fuel your fires with salt? The "v" word, it stings.

I get that you lack faith in the dev team behind the Neo900. We'll see in the near future. No disrespect, but that really doesn't mean much until the results are in. If/when the Neo900 materializes (or not), that's all that matters at the end of the day.
