You'd just buy it, feel great for buying it and then leave it in a corner for a long period of time to get dust.

Buy a notebook if you need to stay on the internet outside
>>
>>59915967
I feel the same way. I think itd be fun as fuck playing ps1 games at work tho. Even skyrim
>>
>>59915967
As someone who has bought a lot of shit for the novelty of it, only to leave it all sitting somewhere, I support this anon's wise suggestion. Or you could buy it and sell it on ebay when u r done with it. It depends on how much net cost you evaluate entertaining ur curiosity at
>>
>>59915959
Looks pretty neat. How much does it run for? What are the specs?
>>
Buy a PGS Hardcore instead and have it be your phone too. Plus then it's good for ds games as well.
Not out yet but way more worth it.
>>
>>59916130
Never heard of this before, just looked it up and not gonna lie, probably going to pre order one.

I'm normally the one to call shit like this gimmicky, but this just looks aesthetic as fuck.

Fuck off GPD, I actually own one and enjoy talking about them, but thanks to your shilling, we can't have threads anymore because they get shitposted asap.

>>59916990
No, there's a obvious difference between a anon making a thread for discussion and shilling. This is the latter.
>>
>>59917004
How? Not only did he not mention the name of the product, he actually posted something negative about it. A shill would have done neither of those things.

Yeah, the Pyra is totally a decent alternative to the Win.
>>
>>59917058
It's a shitty review to be honest.
Even when I'd never buy the device myself.
>>
>>59917070
We are talking about a UMPC running Windows, Pyra isn't even in the same category.
>>
>>59917085
Yes because an intel atom is such a great processor for games anyway.

This is like having a dick contest with all contestants having tiny dicks. What's the fucking point in arguing about it? You're not gonna buy either for serious pc gaming.
>>
>>59917213
>Yes because an intel atom is such a great processor for games anyway.
It's certainly better than a processor with an entirely incompatible architecture.
>You're not gonna buy either for serious pc gaming
It's a handheld, if you're doing serious gaming you'll be using your desktop. Difference between the Pyra and the Win is that the Pyra actually can handle some PC gaming, including modern titles.

*the Win actually can handle some PC gaming

>>59917213

For what I want it, it does fine.
Also emulators that the Pyra can't even dream of.

It's a niche product too, but for a totally different audience. Nothing to replace the Win though.

Holy shit, I'm in love. Any idea how much it will cost?
I'm not into gaming so I don't really care about the specs.

Holy shit what a fucking retard. First of all he claims the Atom is a ARM chip, second of all he's too stupid to figure out how to thumb type. That fat loser needs to stick to his Commodore.

It's mostly for gaming though, there are better alternatives for Linux micro computers/handhelds

Also it's not even out yet and they always fuck something up, so I wouldn't hold my breath

Could you give some examples? I'm new to this stuff.

Particularly, is there any device that looks close to pic related?

I don't see the problem?

I've got one, it's pretty competent and, unlike a lot of chinese devices, the battery can actually be counted on to hold a charge. The thumb sticks + shoulder buttons also work very well for a mouse substitute when moving around.

Put retro pi on a raspberry pi 3 and you have yourself a pretty sweet 40 emulator

I actually agree, for what it's worth it's a good machine. Obviously not for everyone, but for someone like me who has waited for something like this for years, it's great.
>>
too expensive imo
>>
>>59917558
Isn't it only $300?
>>
It's a total meme.
It's completely uncomfortable to play games on, it has bad battery life, it can barely run anything newer than 2006 and it's way too expensive for what you're getting.

I refunded mine within 2 weeks.
>>
>>59917558
Comparing to what? A $200 dollar tablet with a $60 gamepad?
I don't think paying $40 more for convenience and some extras expensive.
>>
>>59917563
Is this bait?

It's a shit device, I agree, but I know for a fact that the battery can easily hold 3 hours for heavier gaming and up to 7 for shitposting. I have played Skyrim and Mass Effect 3 on it, both never going under 30FPS and not even lowest graphics, also it's nowhere worse to hold then a 3DS, slightly even comfier because the stick positions and roundness.
>>
>>59917563
I bought mine because a Windows machine is pretty much the only reliable way to dump content from cameras to a hard drive in the field. I previously used a 7" tablet but, because that thing had to use OTG, you had to use a mass of connectors to power the HDD that resembled an octopus orgy (and took up a lot of luggage space) and had to hope all your copying was done by the time the battery ran out. Also, because it charges over USB, you can use aUSB battery pack which is itself charged from a solar panel (beats the piss out of the sketchy as all hell ex-Soviet generator which puts out 220±100V).

It's also just powerful enough to squeeze out some preview clips compressed enough to send over the hideously expensive satellite internet connection.
>>
>>59917690
Most new tablets have USB-C though and charge via it.
>>
>>59915959

don't waste your money
>>
>>59917701
While you're using OTG? Also, Microsoft basically killed 7" Windows tablets by disabling the desktop for screens below 8" (I assume a kludge is used for the GPD).
>>
>>59917723
>While you're using OTG?
They usually have a separate USB port now.

>Also, Microsoft basically killed 7" Windows tablets by disabling the desktop for screens below 8" (I assume a kludge is used for the GPD).
What the fuck are you talking about? This is false.

You do know the GPD Win uses a tablet SoC and Windows also thinks it's a tablet?
>>
>>59917737
I'd be really grateful if you could suggest a 7" Windows tablet with USB-C and a separate USB port. My searches have been fruitless.
>>
>>59917777
nice digits
>>
>>59917718
Got a better suggestion? $300 doesn't seem that much either.
>>
>>59916164
It's a scam.
