Raspberry pi’s didn’t even have power buttons until this latest version. I fully expect to be able to unplug an SBC at any point with very low chances of corruption. It’s not like they’re designed for that, but they don’t really give you much choice. Having 10% fail like that is ridiculous.

In fact, I’ve done it hundreds of times and never had an issue.

That looks far too polished with locked in specs for them to not have any prototype. I’d trust companies that have actually made a product that has a janky Linux implementation that’s improving, than one that doesn’t exist yet relying on crowdfunding.

You’re comparing a laptop at idle to the power supply for a pi that needs to power it at full load plus overhead and inefficiencies. That’s like comparing apples to an orange tree.
