– it pays to be a cynic. The Agora is postponed indefinitely. Too bad, because it looked like a beautiful device.

I've bought a couple of things from them, direct and via eBay. The one time I had problems with a GPS unit, I received excellent aftersales support. I’ve always had good response from Kogan.

But we who remembers the Asus n series, knows that performance on paper, build into too cheap hardware is not worth the dough, and will scare some of those newcomers away again, and that is bad.

I understand that they don't have the heavy bottom weight of a development and engineering team to pay, but still, this is a LOW price. Still, if the quality was "good enough" I would still most likely call it a good value and would consider it myself. Nothing wrong with having a cheaper build if that is what it takes to get it into the hands of those with tiny paychecks (like myself). ;) While I would love for these to be of a decent quality I can’t see how they could be high quality at this price point.

It might surprise us all. :) Why are we sailing the build quality down the river already? It might surprise us all. :)

So either it's made by children in an Indian sweatshop or the housing is made from recykled shopping bags. But what a tempting price :) First thought was low price, due to sub par hardware, but darn it looks like top shelve on all parts.
