So which is it going to be /g/?
GPD Win Specs
>>54334536
A netbook.
These are UNCOMFY to type on.
If all you want to do is shit post get a small laptop
>>54334536
I want to get a GPD-WIN but I could get a shitty desktop that would be more powerful for that price.
>>54334668
Pyra Specs
>>54334708
u growing beans mate?
>>54334668
watch them have a 32bit uefi bios on it so you're stuck with windows
>>54334722
that looks awesome, how's the emulation?
that DE looks like XFCE
>>54334778
Do you expect the chinks to care about freedom?
>>54334797
Not at all, so I'm not backing it
And i'm not spending $700+ on a comfy device, no matter how fun it would be to have a pocketable computer with a real keyboard and x86 processor
; - ;
>>54334778
You can just put a 32bit uefi bios file in the boot folder of whatever linux distro you use. But it might be best to use a rolling release distro like Arch for the latest linux drivers.
>>54334813
It's just $330. I'm not buying it because my phone is more comfy enough for shitposting. :3
>>54334796
It worked well with under 64. Never tested ps1 or n64, I was gonna get into some RPG PSP games but I got bored of it and sold it.
It's really an amazing form factor for dungeon crawlers like dungeon crawl stone soup. I can imagine it being nice for old PC games.
>>54334708
cute
>>54334827
No yeah I was referring to the Pyra.
Honestly, it's not even really what I want. I'd like a ~7" 4:3 screen with a keyboard and a clit mouse because you can't hold a laptop and use a trackpad one-handed. That and a cellular modem and I'd be set.
Which is best for non - gamers?
>>54334827
Yea phones are better for shitposting from. Maybe get some blackberry if you want a physical keyboard.
Plus umpcs are pretty autistic in public if you lack the self-confidence to not care about that
>>54334873
If you dont care about gaming, might as well get the older pandora, if they still sell it.
>>54334890
Theyre basically done.
Look on the forum to see if they make like another ~10 or so or if someone else is willing to sell it. Also ebay
>>54334890
Don't do this if you actually want to shipost. It has only 512MB of ram and any modern website is going to hang the fsck out of it
>>54334913
Gpd for gaming and pyra for everything else, if you have the money for it.
>>54334957
Can you install OpenBSD on it? I have to try to break 512MB RAM
This concept of a handheld computer was quite big in the mid 2000s but never took off because the technology wasn't good enough yet. Then the idea was completely killed after the iPad was released.
Maybe now is their time to shine, if only as a gaming niche.
>>54335044
Pure handheld gaming devices are dying,
Umpcs will remain a niche, but if they were cheaper they may find a larger audience.
I'm making my own.

>>54335128
Good luck anon, got any drawings or dimensions for how you want it to turn out?
Samsung Chromebook.
God-tier web browsing battery life.
Decent for porn, documents, occasional social media. That's about it, and I got it for what, $130?
10/10 investment, I can take this shit everywhere and not care if something happens to it, but I'm not an idiot or clumsy so it really only travels to class occasionally, work, and then back on my nightstand.
Mainly nightstand for maximum convenient shitposting.
Also a Note 3, real good toilet shitposter.
>>54335158
It's a 4x12 ortholinear mechanical keyboard.
The BeagleBone, batteries, and everything will just fit in the keyboard housing underneath.
The idea is to have it be my desktop keyboard at home while it charges - But when I leave, taking it with me, it's a stand alone machine.
Not sure how I want to do display yet - Phase II though is surely to have a motorcycle helmet it plugs in to with built in headphones and a VR HUD.
>>54335196
Dope dope any more pics?
>>54335224
Not really.
I have too much else going on.
Progress has been slow.
>every arm device is a locked down piece of shit
I just want to run Linux on a light weight machine and enjoy the freedom of a x86 laptop without having to do ghetto rig a raspi or lug around a heavy thinkpad with a poor weight to autonomy ratio.
>>54335246
Macbook 12"
>>54334536
So it cost more than, is thicker than, is less powerful than, has a worse screen, costs more than my phone.
No thanks.
>>54335246
It's funny how much people shit on x86 when it's easily the most accessible hardware platform.
Fuck ARM/PPC
>>54335283
Just because it's easy to get doesn't make it better, fucking moron.
>>54335246
Look at older netbooks like the ASUS EEE >>54334708, they might fill your needs.
>>54335283
>implying x86 tablets don't have the same problems
>>54334536
Anyone actually do anything useful with these things? Yeah, it looks neat and all, fuck yeah, tiny computer in my pocket. But it doesn't looks very uncomfortable to type more than an occasional command line, And the screen is too small for anything useful beyond games or chinese animus.
>>54334536
Pretty neat actually for 200 I would buy one for sure, price is too high though.
>>54335270
Maybe one day chicks will become as obsessed with thin things as you are anon. I'll pray for that to happen for you.
>>54335370
>implying x86 tablets don't have the same problems
They literally don't. Enjoy your blobs ARMcuck.
>>54335270
phones doesn't have hardware controls or a proper OS
>>54335401
>They literally don't.
Basically all of the lower end ones do, I know because I looked at them before settling on an old netbook because I didn't want to deal with that shit.
>>54334834
Did you ever try running quake?
>>54335471
Nope
>>54335458
Maybe CloverTrail garbage and the 3150 before that. BayTrail and CherryTrail are awesome even in Linux, there are also patches that accommodates 32 bit UEFI, which isn't an issue on the GPD.
>>54335232
>Progress has been slow.
No shit. I remember this post from a year ago, you haven't made any progress at all. What's stopping you?
>>54336337
I've only had it wired up as pictured for like, 2 months now.
I've been posting about this idea for the better half of a decade though.
This is one of countless diy projects I have going on, as well as work and life and cartoons and camping and shitposting and stuff.
I will someday finish it - And it will be awesome.
