System Name Bragging Rights
Processor Atom Z3735F 1.33GHz
Motherboard It has no markings but it's green
Cooling No, it's a 2.2W processor
Memory 2GB DDR3L-1333
Video Card(s) Gen7 Intel HD (4EU @ 311MHz)
Storage 32GB eMMC and 128GB Sandisk Extreme U3
Display(s) 10" IPS 1280x800 60Hz
Case Veddha T2
Audio Device(s) Apparently, yes
Power Supply Samsung 18W 5V fast-charger
Mouse MX Anywhere 2
Keyboard Logitech MX Keys (not Cherry MX at all)
VR HMD Samsung Oddyssey, not that I'd plug it into this though....
Software W10 21H1, barely
Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.

They are going after them as well. If they file against Corsair too, this is just going to be more Apple level patent trolling over rounded corners on a rectangle. I hope they lose on all fronts.
Huh, that's weird; So many sites have covered the Phanteks lawsuit, and almost none of them mention Thermaltake.

IMO Thermaltake should be the headline here, because if Lian Li have any leg to stand on, it's Thermaltake who have most blatantly ripped off the Lian Li design. In true Thermaltake fashion, it's almost a perfect 1:1 copy, unashamed IP theft with a side portion of flagrant defiance....

Patent legitimacy aside, if it were so obvious then why didn't similar products launch earlier?

For the same reason that RGB lighting of computers did not appear in the market until it appeared in the market. Companies are allowed to imitate so long as there is no infringement of a valid patent. This will come down to a patent challenge. i.e. is the patent valid and enforceable to begin with or just one of many thousands of junk patents granted. e.g. the internet shopping cart, modular power supply cabling, et. al.
