Looks nice. Would it be good for coding?
>>54886838
But can it run Crysis?
retarded gamepad stealing keyboard space
>>54886838
Keyboard is useless for anything beyond entering your name in games.
Device as a whole is too small to be useful like a laptop, too bulky to be portable like a tablet.
>>54886922

>current year
>1280 x 720
Could you use one in public unironically?
>>54886838
why do i need a 5" laptop when i have a 12" laptop
you can't tell me having to use that little piece of shit is worth not carrying a bag
>>54886838
>win10
that's why.
>>54886977
>>54886912
found the linux autists
so it's basically a raspberry pi without the retarded OS?
>>54886838
>gamepad with a full keyboard smashed into the bottom
there's no way that would be comfortable to hold for long periods of time
Cool, Nintendo 3DS with windows

It might actually be able to run things.
>>54886838
Can I install gentoo on it?
>>54886838
Because I don't need a 5.5" pocket heater that only lasts for two hours.
>>54887029
>that picture
topkek
>>54886838
Because this...>>54886912
Also the smallest laptop i'd use is a dell mini 9 the problem lies with the resolution size and applations that are big they sometimes can't be resized to fit.
>>54886838
idea is good and it's nice to see competition to ARMs, but just like with ARM products, this is quite niche product.
I would actually probably like to own one.

The jew is strong with this one
>>54887022
yes, it's a fucking shit resolution for text? have you ever used a smartphone with similar resolution and screen size?
>>54887071
it's okay dicklips
>muh 4k uhd samsung s8 retina ips gorilla screen
>>54887080
nigga 4k is overdoing it, but 720p is ass
1080p and I wouldn't complain
>>54887080
720p doesn't look very good on a 5.5'' screen.
z8500 no thanks.
Power consumption is too high for an ultraportable and its too slow for general use.
>>54887081
i used 720p on 4,7 inch and 1080p on 5.5 inch...
both crystal clear
>>54887093
Where do you live? I see you posting at every fucking hour of the day.

You are one of those people that buy a separate device for playing mp3's because muh placebo quality, muh placebo bitrate
Found far more superior product from Asus

you made it too obvious, I'm out
>>54886900
Preordered it months back, can't wait.
Also, the 5" tablet qt, want.
Gonna make a video comparing them to the Vaio P.
>>54887113
>people also think 192kbps MP3 sounds fine
Take this test, you mentally ill audiophile: http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015/06/02/411473508/how-well-can-you-hear-audio-quality
>>54887146
I will admit I can't hear a difference between 320kbps and uncompressed, but I never picked the lower quality ones in that test.

>>54887092
>267 PPI
>bad
>>54886838
The screen probably has awful response time.
If I could use it as a multipurpose console emulator up to say, running gamecube games on dolphin, I'd buy it.
>>54887092
>720p doesn't look very good on a 5.5'' screen.
Meanwhile the ppi of your actual monitor is probably 96.
Fuck off.
>>54887212
I look my monitor from more than an arm's length away from my face and I can still see individual pixels.
>>54887232
>I look my monitor from more than an arm's length away from my face
Yeah, you're comparing 96ppi to over 200ppi. Stop.
Because i'm not a gaymer who wastes on stupid retarded shit with shitty screens, nor do i gayme outside of home.
Trim that beard, lose your fat, and start going out more you faggot.
And while you are at it, fuck off back to >>>/v/
>>54887236
I know exactly how ~250ppi looks like. I have an old phone here right by my side. I dones't look good and you can see the pixels from a regular use distance.
id buy it if it had android
>>54886838
>H-IPS screen
Yeah nah I'll pass, the total input/display lag on that would be awful.
>>54887251
That kind of sentiment is becoming so widespread.
I can't wait for Android app support in Chromebooks to roll out.
>>54886838
>Intel processor
>Windows
Why? What's the fucking point?
>>54887251
>>54887285
why
why would you want android on that
>>54887296
Better app support.
Not even trolling.
I preordered one. I'll probably "replace" my Shield Portable with it. It's probably not going to feel as powerful or polished, but there's a fuckton of cool shit I'm going to be able to do on a device with a physical keyboard and a gamepad.
>>54887296
>>54887307
I would rather run android apps "sandboxed" within a lightweight linux distro (Chrome OS) than a bloated Java OS (android).

neat new sidekek
>>54886987
i just got a raspi model 2XB bananapi, what do i do now? give me some idea
>>54886838
because the netbook meme has been around once before (reeepc), and most of us have wised up
>>54886943
>he thinks this crapbook is powerful enough for 1080p
yeah
no
>>54887500
nothing because it's ARM
>>54887562
but it can handle blockbuster games : )
>>54887588
scaled from 480x320
>>54887004
I think the question within the question was "Would it be good for coding relative to another pocketable device?"
Wow, it'll change the world
like this thing did
>another indiestarter shekelstealer campaign
But is it better than the open pandora 2?
>>54886922
You dense motherfucker
>>54887482
I wish that phone was k!ckass
No because I'm getting a Dragonbox Pyra.
Higher price but better keyboard and better Lunix compatibility.
I predict Linux users will not like the GPD as this is the same SoC from the Asus T100 that isnt linux friendly.
>>54889083
>Why aren't you buying this 5,5 inch pocket laptop?
what you think the product is for is irrelevant
because pocket computers are a meme like smartphones
you can 'do anything' on it
but you'd rather use a real computer
making portability the only advantage the device has and the fact is I would rather wait until I have a real computer available than try to work with a shitty one
>>54889136
What's the point of a Pyra when any modern phone with a joystick is orders of magnitude more powerful than that?
>>54889209
Because this isnt a phone, its a pocket computer running full debian with full keyboard, two joysticks, shoulder buttons, usb in and out, hdmi out, and two sdxc slots.
You know any phone that even comes close?
>>54889273
I know exactly what it is, but is not useful as a $300 laptop (you can't do anything with it, don't full yourself) and a joystick is way cheaper for playing games. I understand it's a cool device, but it's just a waste of money.
>>54889325
Nah its far superior to any 300 dollar laptop imo.
>>54889365
It is objectively not superior.
Why the hell would I?
>>54889386
how so?
>>54890892
a used thinkpad with an SSD would be a better value proposition. you could do all of this childish video game shit and do real work as well
>>54890913
Which thinkpad can fit in my pocket though?
>why aren't you buying X
>have you bought X yet
>you should buy X
>if you don't buy X you're a pleb
>buy buy buy buy buy buy buy
am I the only one who finds /g/'s bernie-tier anti corporate meme spouting to be hilariously ironic?
fuck off with your shitty advertisement you mindless consumertard
>>54890913

post your projects
>>54887113
128 is fine too.
>>54886838
because i own an umpc already
Can't wait till I can burning my hand with this powerful mini laptop
>>54890972
>Don't mind me, I'm just pirating this laptop.
>>54886838
Because I just got a thinkpad
>>54887036
This
I expect atleast 5 hours.
Nice bait though, OP must be a jew.
>>54887057
>that keyboard
Nope, I couldn't use it.
It would be too horrible.
Why put your money in the line for something that has so many possible inherent issues? It's even funded, so it'll come out eventually and get properly reviewed so you don't risk your money.
I don't get some of you people, honestly.
>>54886838
UMPC IS BACK BABY
hope it's not just BS
I will as soon as people review it and battery/vydia benchmarks on it. Looks promising though, if it can play half life 3 at 720p low settings and get more than 30fps and battery life is at least 4 hours for vydia then I'm sold.
I'm pretty excited desu, it doesn't have an angry birds processor so you'll be able to run x86 software on it.
>>54891837
>if it can play half life 3
>>54891837
*half life 2
whoops lol, everyone knows gabe is a sellout and won't release half life 3.
>>54891852
haha yeah, sorry.
At least it stands a better chance of being a successful emulator machine than that Ouya shit from ages past

>>54887016
see the chinese heiroglyphs in the upper left? it's a shitty CS 1.6 / Cowadoody knock-off that you can run on a fucking potato.
>>54892604
I remember being able to run Civ V at 20fps with my A4-1200 CPU, not sure how much better/worse the iGPU on it is compared to intel's stuff
>>54892886
dont worry, you'll be able to run civ 6 on any fucking shitpad since they're making it a mobile game :^)
>>54892808
Ty for answering my first question. Add me?

Don't forget much better battery and storage options.
I'll probably get one as well, but I'm in no hurry. It's essentially a very expensive toy. I can't make a decent argument why I'd *need* it. I simply want it
>>54886838
Because I prefer the Vaio UX's slider style

Oh yeah, because China has such great business ethics.
Okay

Are you suggesting that other countries have accountability for kickstarter scams?
>>54886838
Can I install GNU/Linux on it?
>>54886838
for that tiny ass screen and size and price? what the fuck.
just hook in a 360 wired controller and you're set
>>54893895
You misunderstand that gpd is a proud and established company. We do not need the funds from the campaign. This campaign is for loyal customers to get a gpd win at a large discount and to see how popular this product will be. We will release this product no matter the funds!
If you want a pocket machine to play games available today please consider the gpd xd

As long as I can install Linux with decent driver support, I'll buy it.
>>54894685
No no, I'm god team member WADE WANG
I wish I'd ordered at $299 desu. The Atom is surprisingly capable so at a minimum it'll be a comfy portable emulation machine that can also play some PC games. That being said, I'm definitely not going to $500 for one.
>>54886838

millennials care only about html,css, and sometimes they copy-paste javascript (more likely, they implement some libraries and let their CMS of choice do the magic)
That's hardly programming, since they barely know a programming language. That's coding.
>>China
>>Hi-quality
choose one
GPD XD I have is pretty good.
Don't really need this though since I have a laptop, one of those vensmile PC block things, android devices, and raspberry Pis.
Between those I normally have something for every occasion.
>>54892901
You could already run Civ V on anything using the strategic mode
I just ordered one of these. Full keyboard, linux computer, touch screen, $50.
No idea if it's going to be shit but that's a pretty low barrier to entry so I figured why the fuck not.
>>54898688
ARM can't run RCT2 or Dwarf Fortress
>>54898714
Aside from maybe some emulators I'm not super interested in the gaming. I'm making it into a shadowrun style cyberdeck/shitposting station.
>>54892531
That's the joke anon, please keep up or we'll have to send you home on the short bus.
>>54893243
Why do I see people criticising this recently? Is there just an increase in people that are bitter at being left out of the golden age of internet culture?
>>54898714
>ARM can't run RCT2
Not yet.
https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2
The devs expect 0.0.5 to be the first version with no dependence on the original game code.
>>54898800
Why rollercoaster tycoon 2? I remember the first one being better.
>>54898821
They're building off of RCT2's engine but they're porting functionality from RCT1. It's more like a combination of both games and they eventually plan on removing restrictions and allowing custom content.
>>54898800
right but how long until it works as well as the original game/x86 OpenRCT2
>>54899160
Well once the game is completely rewritten in C/C++ it should function the same basically everywhere. Right now it's pretty close to RCT2. I think there's a bug with the peep AI that they're still working on though.
>>54886838
>not out yet

If it's able to run Linux and drops to $200 or below I'll consider it.
