The external monitor thing was one thing I was really looking forward to.
Do you guys expect the performance hit from the new chipset to be rather noticable in daily use?

Community hope is currently that F(x) knows better and the feature is just undocumented (for marketing reasons?) but still available.

Benchmarks say it can be up to 20-30% slower then 835 but that still means "same" compute power per watt
Some games might give lower fps.
My Phantasy is not vivid enough to come up with what android users do on their device nowadays, maybe video editing to max out the cores?
For sfos kabouik remarked that it might have an impact on performance in containers where the 835 really shines currently. But that is to be seen.

Hi guys-and girls,
Long time no see, lots of work.
I am melting. New work, need to send vids and pix reasonably quick (ment: directly, with no n900 cable, sync, email...)
And also non blocking instant update of contacts - my n900 needs some minutes with 2000+ contacts to let me send an sms after contact update.
And also ability to show vids and pics on my device with reasonable quality.
So....
Was thinking of, finally a Pro1-X.
Do you think it is risky to order on Indiegogo? Better (but more expansive) to order on main site?
Thanks & BR

Imo the options are:
You want to support F(x)tec with sharing the risc for Proš-X? Get one from IGG with possibility of full risc on your side since IGG does no returns after 14 days.
There have been isolated cases where dissatisfied backers (due to SD662) got full return just so they move on and do not spam the IGG comments. But yeah, that comes with severe faceloss
Ordering via homepage is more safe since afaiu FX is obliged to European customer rules and in case of no delivery at all, you might have a better chance to get compensated.
For both options you will be kind of far back in the que now and i would not bet on delivery before september or october.
Getting a used Proš might be the best option in your situation. I see Proš changing owner weekly so it is a matter of following the sell thread in the FX forum or auction sites directly.

Thank you Mosen for this useful clarification.
It kind of calmed my precipitation.
Well, anyway, it will last long until I replace my n900 I guess...
Gonna reread the "What to get to replace my N900" thread, just in case...

The Oneplus One "Bacon" is well supported, in terms of hardware functions and maintenance (i.e. primarily, upgrades to new SFOS releases: at SFOS 3.4.0 at the moment, which is the current GA release).
But you would not be able to "leave the Ubuntu phone at home for playing around", then.
