History

Details of the new trains were officially announced in March 2016.[3] Between April and May 2017, Keio held a public poll to choose the brand name for the new reserved-seat services starting in spring 2018.[2] The name Keio Liner was announced on 24 January 2018, chosen from the following five candidates.[6]

  1. Keio Liner (京王ライナー)
  2. Keio Smart Liner (京王スマートライナー)
  3. Keio Prime Liner (京王プライムライナー)
  4. Luxpress
  5. Westar

The first trainset was delivered to Wakabadai Depot from the J-TREC factory in Yokohama in late June 2017,[7] and unveiled to the media on 19 July 2017.[8] It entered revenue service on 29 September 2017.[9] The fifth set was in service by January 2018.[10]

Reserved-seat Keio Liner services from Shinjuku Station commenced on 22 February 2018.[11] Inbound Keio Liner trains to Shinjuku will begin on 22 February 2019.[12]

In contrast to most mid-ranged Chromebooks however, the Pinebook Pro comes with an IPS 1080p 14″ LCD panel, a premium magnesium alloy shell, 64/128GB of eMMC storage* (more on this later – see asterisk below), a 10,000 mAh capacity battery and the modularity / hackability that only an open source project can deliver – such as the unpopulated PCIe m.2 NVMe slot (an optional feature which requires an optional adapter). The USB-C port on the Pinebook Pro, apart from being able to transmit data and charge the unit, is also capable of digital video output up-to 4K at 60hz.
