Nuked Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your funny guy Nuked here to bring you some exciting news from Astrohaus. They’re gearing up to ship their most affordable addition to the Freewrite digital typewriter lineup, the Freewrite Alpha, in January. And let me tell you, this new gadget is definitely worth checking out!
Now, I know what you’re thinking – “Nuked, how much is it gonna cost me?” Well, my friends, you can actually pre-order the Freewrite Alpha right now for just $349. That’s a steal! And you can choose between a sleek black or a classic white color. Talk about options!
So, what makes the Freewrite Alpha so special? Well, it’s the successor to the original $649 Freewrite and the $499 portable Freewrite Traveler that were released last year. Just like its predecessors, this Wi-Fi-enabled typewriter is designed to eliminate distractions and help you focus on your writing. No more pesky web browsers or emails stealing your attention!
But here’s the cool part – once you’re done with your writing session, the Freewrite Alpha wirelessly syncs your documents with popular software services like Google Drive and Dropbox. This makes it super easy to edit and share your work with others. How convenient is that?
Now, let’s talk about some of the changes in the Alpha compared to its siblings. Instead of the E Ink display, Astrohaus opted for a reflective monochromatic LCD screen to keep costs down. Don’t worry though, it still looks great! The Alpha also features a single screen instead of two and weighs less than the original model but a bit more than the Traveler.
But wait, there’s more! Astrohaus promises that the Freewrite Alpha will have an impressive 100-hour battery life, perfect for those long writing sessions. And they didn’t forget about USB-C support either, so you can easily connect your typewriter to other devices.
Now, here’s a feature that I’m really excited about – the mechanical switches. The Traveler lacked them, but the Alpha brings them back! It’s equipped with Kailh Choc V2 low-profile switches that are slimmer than the ones found in the original model, giving you a comfortable typing experience.
And here’s another improvement – the ability to move your cursor around a document just like you can with the Traveler. This was something missing in the original model, but Astrohaus listened to feedback and made sure to include it in the Alpha. Good job, guys!
Now, let’s talk about the journey of the Freewrite Alpha. Astrohaus launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo in 2022 and managed to raise an impressive $446,742. With that support, they were able to start fulfilling orders earlier this year and even gave early backers an $80 discount. Talk about rewarding loyalty!
So, my friends, if you’re in need of a distraction-free writing tool that combines the charm of a typewriter with modern technology, the Freewrite Alpha is definitely worth considering. Pre-order now and get ready to unleash your creativity in style!
That’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more tech updates and remember to keep smiling!
