Ok, trying to help you here, listen to this.
While for some interpretation of "exist", you are right, for every meaningful portion of it, no.

There is no prototype, admittedly so, and they just recently said they wish to make one before the campaign ends…
That is against kickstarter rules, a kickstarter that will not vouch for you should you not have noticed. They took other products, hooked them up, and then called that a prototype. It isn't.
The GPD anything doesn't exist.
GPD cuts every corner it can, and produces in China, they have a known backing structure and company. In no known universe does some russian PGS rendering-company with no known backing or experience undercut that and win.

It also leads you to believe it can include a cellular modem, which has telephony services.
That is what the Pyra is, which makes the comparison even more wishful. There is no more rationally operated comparison you could wish for. Someone can make up a price, and a product, and you can believe in it, short of evidence. The magic is not real, it doesn't exist.

Certainly not so at 330 dollaridoos.

They cant be a member of the handset alliance and advertise dualbooting, and they cant not be a member and advertise android. They cant secure SoCs, because there is a moq of 1000.
We could go on and on.

This post got me excited until I remembered I have an android phone that emulates any console this thing could feasibly and that any native Windows game I would want to play on this thing wouldn't play well.

Morrowind is maybe the only game I'd want to play on this that I can't play on Android and that is getting ported to Android eventually, too.

What's the point, OP? If you already own a phone, just buy a clip on phone controller. The experience will probably be better in every single way.

Thought experiment: phones can be significantly thinner excluding the camera and the 3.5 jack, right? The iPhone is approaching half the thickness of HTC evo era phones. I feel that a Nintendo DS form factor smart device could be incredible with current tech. It could be thing enough to comfortably fit in your pocket. Place a mic and speaker on the back of the device, so you can close it and make a call with out having the touch screen against your face. Extra battery would be needed for the extra display. It won't be superior to physical buttons but having an entire extra FHD+ display dedicated to input would be an improvement, and of course it would be great for multitasking. 3.5mm on the bottom so the top can be as thin as possible. I'd buy one
>>
>>55423082
It is more than fast enough for what it does. It has a modular board with SoC and memory, so you can upgrade. Even make your own if that is your thing.
You can design your own case, since you get the case-files. It is not more-so ugly than any alternative, which is the GPD win, end of. And that isn't a phone, doesn't have the same amount of ports, spies on the user, and not the same community.

If there is nothing about the Pyra you appreciate, you bring into question your own motives.

So you can either play games, or type on a keyboard. With both you look silly, and nothing really compares to either of them, while maintaining the idea that it should fit your pockets.

>>55423331
Unless you can fit the whole board and the gaming-controls in the space of the underlying battery, you end up with game-controls eating away at the thinness. If you make it big enough it would work, but then it would be a device needing a keyboard.

I 'bought' this because it occupies that sweet spot where a laptop needs to be smaller but a smart phone is stupid large. Sure you can sort of do most of what it does on android but the keyboard and and joystick/mouse doesn't exist on phones.

Anyways the processor is a bit underwhelming but after checking up on it I'm actually worried more about thermal throttling. Putting anything more powerful in it would be a waste what with no fan.

Macroshaft winding is a downer but they mentioned the bootloader being typical of a laptop allowing for alternative OS's. I've heard some good and bad about similar devices so I'll assume Linux is a possibility but probably with problems.

TLDR it's an UMPC with specs that aren't 10+years old and not absurdly priced, get it if this is your kink

The main reason behind the idea is that you can utilize both ~5 inch high ppi displays to consume content. One web page scrolling across both, messaging on the bottom with a movie up top, etc. When you need to input you'll have the entire bottom display for it. No physical buttons, just a standard ARM SOC, maybe two sd card slots, moto z tier thinness on the top, iPhone tier thickness on the bottom. The battery life should be superior to a normal smartphone because the bottom would have standard battery life, as well as the top but it would only be powering a 1080p display.

that thing doesn't look nearly as unreasonable though.

I don't really know why it exists (or why someone tried to make it exist). It's like someone tried to merge a HTPC into a TV stick. It's cool and all but making it smaller only cut out actual useful features for an HTPC. And if you want to argue that it's portable, it's nowhere near as portable as a chinese tablet with those specs for the same price with a built in screen and battery.

But yeah, I can see the same thing happening. By the time March next year rolls around they'll have to delay for some stupid reason. First it will be because they received so many orders that they have to find another factory to fulfill the order. Then they'll delay again, but this time it's because they are updating it an adding a new super feature. Then it's just delay after delay.

Apple didn't force other companies to stop including physical keyboards. The consumer market decided that. Look how Blackberry fell. The Passport and Priv were commercial failures.

No, the manufacturers decided to follow because then they don't have to bother with physical keyboards.

You can't blame this on their physical keyboards. They make the best phones available and are still going down. I think it's mainly because of poor advertising, most people already think BlackBerry's dead.

Why not just get something like this instead? You also get a wacom digitizer so you can paint and it's very lightweight. You're not putting that thing in OPs post in your fucking pocket that's for sure.

Thanks can any anon suggest a much better device for the price? As this would literally just be a emulator machine.

I saw the xbox-style circle buttons and the joysticks and >windows 10 and expected this to be a sort of bringing AAA desktop games to a handheld format kind of thing, since a lot of modern games are played on Xbone or PS4 anyways.

Because all modern pocket size devices by default run OSes designed to collect as much data about you as possible for companies to sell. It takes you installing an alternative OS to avoid that and there is no guarantee that the GPD WIN will be able to run other OSes and won't either have driver issues or be completely locked down at this moment. Alternatively you could buy one anyways and let the chinks and the kikes and Microsoft whore you out to various advertisers if you already have no respect for yourself.

Most of that is autistic shit noone cares about.


Your only valid point is the dpad.
I know from experience with their icontrolpad that it's alright, though. Even if it's circular. The thing as a whole felt a bit mushy, but that applied to all buttons, not just the dpad. I'm sure this was improved

A circular dpad done right can be pretty cool because it aids diagonal input instead of making it a chore. It's just very rare to see a good one

It'll have the same problems as every other portable computer. A low battery life, an unusable keyboard, a tendency to overheat, and low performance.

There's plenty of better ways to play old video games on the go. Only buy it if you have a crippling addiction to WoW or LoL that can't be satisfied with a laptop.

I don't think you understand the magnitude of that claim. There are videos on Youtube of Cherry Trail tablets running Counterstrike GO at 16-20 FPS and Crysis 2 at ~15 FPS. Games from the early to mid 2000s would likely be very playable at low settings.
