Looks like another case of "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it": I see no mention of MSRP.
... and having said that, I'm incredibly leery of any company whose business plan includes "we're not answering the price question until we launch our Kickstarter". I hope they have a killer product, but "Kickstarter launch" means my money stays in my wallet until I see the final product and read its reviews. If AOKZOE doesn't like my hesitation, they can blame all the failed hardware Kickstarters that came before them.
What the hell!?
Is it because Asus ruined competition by paying for an exclusivity period or something? Is that how filthy and broken the laptop market has become?
Indeed, maybe Asus did have a couple months of exclusivity.
