This seems like a scam.

The website is image-only.
Not having any selectable text is super sketchy.

It uses "Orange Pi" but isn't running on an Orange Pi.

If you go to the real manjaro website: https://manjaro.org/ and search for "neo", this doesn't come up:
https://manjaro.org/search/?query=neo
...or orange pi
https://manjaro.org/search/?query=orange+pi

Edit: People are saying that is it real. If it is, they really need to make it seem less sketchy.

They literally had an event lol.

That event was just a Gif.

Which is fine and all, but they need to make it seem less sketchy.

There have been handheld gaming devices scams that have had events before, using either the one working prototype, or someone else's device with a difference housing.
