“The word ‘Potato’ is often used to describe an underpowered/poorly performing device. ‘This video must have been filmed with a potato!’ This device is intentionally underspecced to ensure long battery life,” Eriksen explains of the project’s unusual name. “The ‘toP’ suffix refers to the intended eventual laptop form factor. The suffix ‘p’ is used for LISP predicates — functions that return true or false, like ‘
evenp‘ or ‘primep‘ for numbers. Is it a potato or not? It depends on your point of view!”
