The pre-order goal quantity has almost been reached, and we know that production only takes ~2 months after park.

I don't even intend to buy one, I'm just pointing out your retardation.
Anyone have a useful comment about this thing?
I think the possibility of developing 3rd party cpu boards is interesting. OMAP5 was really their only option given the current market.
All of you x86 fags can finally have your dream toy.

It's literally weaker than a $30 android phone. What kind of massive retard would buy this turd lmao.
>>54586365
Low specs but also upgradeable, unlike even the most expensive of phones
Also it's not as high of demand as a phone so price will obviously be higher than a comparably specced phone.
It's a meme. Get a GPD WIN instead. Doesn't have an angry birds processor and pre-order for 4GB RAM variant is $330.
Not really sure why someone would want a pyra. It has a shitty dual-core ARM CPU.

The GPD WIN will most likely have UEFI boot and the option to turn secure boot off. You will then be able to install gentoo or whatever on it.
I'm hyped
>>54586483
It's true though, ARM processors are mostly good for playing angry birds, not much else. 99% of servers, desktops, laptops don't use them.
What good is the pyra if all it can do is just play angry birds?
>>54586492
The GPD win is bigger and the keyboard doesn't look thumb typable.
Also, from the price, and knowing the build quality of the GPD Android, which has been out for a while now, I predict the GPD win will be the ultimate piece of chinkshit.
The Pyra is built entirely in Germany and Greece so we can trust the quality.

Just keep posting "angry birds processor" over and over. That meme was pretty funny desu
get your smart toilet and remote controlled lawn mower processor out of here
i bet they use the heat from it to warm the toilet seats
>>54586564
Speaking of which how many FPS do you think the pyra will get on angry birds? That dogshit MP2 powervr GPU has less graphics performance than an andreno 306 (found on $30 android phones).
>dual-core A15
Are you fucking shitting me?
This is basically the /g/pad coming to life. I remember when /g/ was obsessed with reviving the UMPC market.
>>54586639
Wouldn';t know, I won't think about buying one till a CPU upgrade comes out, something a $30 phone (or $700 phone for that matter) is incapable of.
>>54586655
>tfw picked up a Vaio UX a few months ago
It's great, we need more slider UMPCs, less mini netbooks.
>>54586639
enough to run multiple emulators at the same time on a 1080p display. OS is full desktop Debian.
What's an actually good ultra portable PC?
>>54586655
The pyra isn't an UMPC. The GPD WIN is though.

It's the exact same thing, just compiled for a different architecture you dumbass.
>>54586686
GPD WIN. I already preordered one.
>>54586724
No it's not. It's the crippled version of debian (ie mobile debian OS). It literally can't run x86 software.
>>54586146
Can you install windows XP on it?

How are you supposed to play angry birds on it anyway? Doesn't seem like the screen has touch input. Do I have to connect a usb mouse to it?
>>54586913
it's a resistivie screen so it only supports 1 finger. you won't be able to zoom in without some janky software trickery. even with software trickery it'll sometimes spazzes out.
Also can it even handle Angry Birds Go?
>>54586966
Double tap to zoom is janky software trickery?

>>54587032
read their comments-section on indiegogo. they said that it would be possible to install l00nix on it.
>>54587272
As much as it is "possible" on all the other cheap as fuck baytrail tablets out there. Just as a reminder: The only distro that kind of worked is now dead and every chance of getting the Wifi, bt, touchscreen, hardware controls, sensors or anything beyond the chip itself (and the display) running is literally zero.
>>54587246
My sides will literally go into orbit when I see all of the dissappointed Linux users and kids who blew their savings on GPD Win. Enjoy your windows 10 plebs.
They didn't name it GPD Win for nothing.

It's hilarious to read the thread on Dingoonity, really. Meanwhile, the Pyra is going to get between 10-20 hours easily (much like the Pandora, where I got an average of 15 hours of gaming). As much as I loathe ARM for its incompatibility, I wouldn't want the Pyra to have anything else. Also don't forget the support by notaz and Ptitseb

On mobile so no link but check their forums. Once he has about 750 preorders he will order enough parts to make 1000 and from there lead time is ~2 months.

did the new get a screen upgrade?
>>54587383
to be perfectly honest, I really really wanted the pyra. but that price is atrocious! even though it has good battery life, it doesn't make up for the price tag.
also..

>>54587486
Economies of scale.
For now, this is a luxury device for people with money to burn.
>>54587486
It's $375 to $450. Really that bad?
>>54587451
Yes. If you don't like the taskbar/window decoration, just get a different WM.
>>54587486
>>54587516
The initial soc choice (z8500) was used in lots of mid-tier chinkman tablets and they all suffered from notorious overheating. Check the reviews. The z8550 is almost identical and unless they invent some new method of heat dispersion, the GDP win is going to be unusable for demanding applications.
I want one but funds are limited and I want to buy more pressing stuff like a height-adjustable desk and a home server first. And an ANSI mech kb perhaps, programming on German keyboard layouts sucks ass.
The Pyra is pretty far down on my list, simply because it's hard to justify especially at that immense price.
I love the project though and hope everything goes well.
>>54587580
That's not the final price, but a down-payment, see
>>54586708
>>54586146
I have two questions for the people linking/wanting to buy the Pyra and bashing the GDP Win:
- Why do you want a full featured (ARM) OS on such a low end hardware?
- Why do you think that having Windows 10 on the GDP is bad?
>>54587586
I think for 700$ they could definitely produce a heat dissipation method for the device, it's not enough excuse to dump it for something 4-8 times less powerful like dual core a15, check passmark for x8500, it's performance equals to core 2 duo e8400
>>54587682
i'm buying both but gpd win does have the better processor and gpu desu. pyra doesnt even have 3d acceleration yet.
>>54586429
This is so magical. I want to play my old NES/SNES/Genesis/N64/Playstation/Dreamcast ROMs on this thing. I mean Steam, I want to play my paid for retro games on this thing.
>>54586365

>>54586146

>it's performance equals to core 2 duo e8400
Do you think that modern cellphone CPUs are better than older desktop CPUs too?
>- Why do you want a full featured (ARM) OS on such a low end hardware?
Hardware doesn't really matter. Noone is going to do rendering or simulation on it. I certainly would not mind if it was faster, but what can you do. Battery life is another huge factor. There's little benefit in twice the performance for half the amount of time.
>- Why do you think that having Windows 10 on the GDP is bad?
I don't think that. In fact, an x86 would be pretty interesting. I simply don't trust the GPD guys to deliver and support a lasting product, let alone provide Linux images or offer help and sources to the community
Whats even the fucking point of this thing ?
>>54588064
Emulators. Anyone saying otherwise is lying.
>>54588083
Yeah that keyboard's there for absolutely no reason at all
This thing was blown the fuck out by the GPD WIN. Sorry, it's dead int he water.
>>54586146
>700 fucking dollars for this thing
I could buy an x220 that smokes this piece of shit for $200. Not to mention the majority of you would use this for emulators, and if its just straight ARM and not x86, a GPD XD for $150 would perform infinitely better than this thing despite running android.
