    AvE also did a teardown of that. It has a huge CNC machined plate that’s completely unnecessary. Rolling the bag to squeeze it would have worked fine for a fraction of the price. As it was, they were probably paying over $1000 of manufacturing cost when it retailed for $400. This necessitated making up the difference on the juice packets–the razer blade and printer ink model–but that didn’t materialize.

    That thing was a joke from so many different angles.

      Yeah, I haven’t seen inside, I just know that even from someone who does like some smart products, that was a complete waste.
