Comment on The new Polaroid I-2 instant cameraparent

They have a 'regular' one that's $120. Maybe this is the Teenage Engineering model.

Teenage Engineering stuff seems completely impractical. Is that the appeal?

Take the record player. It looks cool. But only plays 7" records. Through built in speakers. You can use external speaker, but through a 3.5mm plug?

What's the use of something like that? Maybe the idea is to use it as decoration? I don't get it.

All their products are like that.

It's not even their product, it's just a white labelled version of an existing Japanese toy!

Woah! Wait, do they do the same thing for other products as well?

Basically. If you look at Teenage Engineering as a high end fashion brand, it makes a lot more sense.

The I-1, the model previous to this was designed by teenage engineering. They know what they’re doing.

Oh no kidding? That's super cool, I didn't know that. And agreed!--
