I don't know man, back when Pandora was a newer idea mobile phones weren't as powerful as they are now. This whole idea is kind of antiquated since you can bring around a ThinkPad x2XX with a SSD and have a much more usable machine for most likely around the same price or cheaper.

>>61376097
But can you fit it in your pocket?
That's what I think is most appealing about this. I can fit it in a pocket and take it anywhere. With the ports, USB and mini-HDMI, I can easily convert it into a full desktop pretty much anywhere.
Plus, I can't run debian on my phone, possibly some you can, not sure, but not mine.

>>61376155
there are lots of useless things that will fit in my pockets. Doesn't mean I want to carry them around or spend $700 dollarydoos on shitty hardware and a tiny keyboard

>that price
>that shitty screen
>thick as a brick, it's even brick red
>that shitty keyboard so they can fit those shitty game controls
I thought the whole idea was that we can go back and apply modern technology to make UMPCs what they should have been

>>61376179
This could completely replace a phone, though. This can do anything a phone can do - and more.

>>61376212
What do you expect from a small company that isn't making millions of units?
Screen is 720p, you think you actually would want some 1080p on a 5 inch screen? Really? 4x the computing power for no noticeable increase?
it even says
>other colors
The keyboard has had dozens of polls and revisions, it's supposed to be really nice. a lot of R&D went into the keyboard.

>>61376037
>shitty keyboard
>gaymer controls
>weak specs
>overpriced

yeah no, even the gpd whateveritscalled is a meme but at least that's a little decent

>>61376272
>This could completely replace a phone, though. This can do anything a phone can do - and more.
can it send/receive phone calls and SMS? can it run snapchat?

I don't want to carry around an autism brick just because it runs ganoo linux

>>61376037
Even the GPD WIN is a better option than this shitheap.

>>61376418
>runs windows
>has shitty keyboard
>did I mention it runs windows?
>doesn't have USB ports and expandable memory
>Doesn't have GPS or 4G

yeah, if by a little decent you mean it can actually power on, then yes, you are correct.

>>61376448
It has 4G with SMS capabilities, yes.
It can run snapchat inside an instance of android. Just need an external camera if you want to take a picture.

>>61376448
>>61376492
well now I want one. I've wanted to ditch the huge pile of shit that is the modern smartphone for quite a while

>>61376492
why not just use an ssh client on my android phone and buy something like this?

>>61376546
Well you don't have to ditch your phone unless you want to. You could just use it as a regular pocket laptop. It's awfully difficult to play a PS1 game on a phone, but this makes it simple. It can also allow you to play Diablo II anywhere, and many more games actually. Possibilities are endless.

>>61376581
I guess if you want to lug around a keyboard and usb cable everywhere and only be able to use shh, then sure... but the Pyra can do so much more. I dare you to try to play Diablo 2 or a PS1 game over ssh on your android device, tell me how well that works out for you...

>>61376272
>What do you expect from a small company that isn't making millions of units?
I'm not really expecting anything out of them, but that doesn't mean I'm going to buy it
>>61376581
Do you have this or something like it? I've been looking for a good phone keyboard and stand

>>61376061
>base model is 500 euros
seems pretty steep to me

>>61376616
>I guess if you want to lug around a keyboard and usb cable
it's a bluetooth keyboard
>I dare you to try to lay Diablo 2 or a PS1 game over ssh on your android device
I don't play video games, let alone play on handheld devices when I am out in public
>>61376666
checked

I do not have such a keyboard but I plan to get one when I buy a new phone.

Well I like it it's a shame it has a shitty 5 year old arm processor found in the Nexus 10

Gpdwins controls and keyboard looks like ass.

Hopefully the fact that a competitor, the SmachZ, got revealed as a total scam and fraud, will help pyra sells since it's cool someone is making a Linux handheld

>>61376582
No, that's the point, I really, really do want to. The pocket-laptop stuff and vidya gaymen is just gravy. Modern phones piss me off to no end, if I can get a little thing with a keyboard that runs Debian and can be easily repaired, I'd be very happy to never deal with Google again. They don't make phones with physical keyboards at all anymore. (unless you get a blackberry, and that comes with its own problems) Removable batteries are pretty rare, as are SD cards. And buing a phone entails a lot of research to find something unlockable that I can flash a ROM onto and rip (most of) the botnettery out of. This thing, if it can indeed do phone stuff like SMS, would solve lots and lots of frustrations for me.

That said, I want to wait until the thing actually comes out, instead of preordering anything.

>>61376037
Think about all the fucked up things we can do in the hacking world with this thing. We can make this a portable kali autism machine and penetrate all sorts of networks while looking like we're playing animal crossing.

Just get a gpd win...

Actually a real product, and it works well.

>>61376768
It's still a keyboard.

>>61376834
Well, the hardware is there for SMS, someone just needs to write the software. But with as many devs are on this project it won't take long for that to happen. The Pyra is also upgradrable so in the future there could be faster CPU, better screen, etc.

>>61377048
Yet still doesn't even do a third of what this can do... so nah.

>>61377102
Are you actually retarded? The GPD WIN it's literally just an Intel Windows 10 computer.

How in the name of fuck are you implying a Linux shoebox with the power of the old Nexus 10 from 2012 is even comparable?

Even if you're autistic and want Linux, the GPD Pocket does that for the same price, with non horseshit build quality

>>61377102
What can the Pyra do that the Win cannot? I believe you can run SteamOS on the Win...

>>61377161
You don't even need Steam OS, just run fucking Steam.

Instant full PC gaming library, any emulator you want, any media format you want, etc.

Oh so the GPD Pocket runs a full debian system and has expandable memory, GPS, 4G, USB 3.0, OTG, gaming controls, and mini HDMI? Well sign me up!

>>61377192
Indeed but to be honest Wine is actually better for older games with DX9.

>>61377210
Yes actually...

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gpd-pocket-7-0-umpc-laptop-ubuntu-or-win-10-os-laptop--2#/

^ If you need to be autistic and have a Linux Machine, the pocket does all of those, and they have actual working models that have been reviewed.

Otherwise yes, the Win has literally all of those except "Muh Linux", and if you're serious about wanting a mobile console, I can't imagine how stupid you would need to be to give up in Windows game compatibility

>>61377264
Someone shilling this autistically hard id assume you'd at least browse the pyra forums to see that the 4gb model is plagued with bugs and crashes, ie is not functional

>>61377276
I'm no shill. I just really want this thing and I thought a lot of people here would too, seeing as what it can do and basically you can have full debian pc anywhere you go.

>>61377248
Yeah but can it run Crysis?

>>61377291
I don't want it for the games, that is just a bonus. I want it cause I can go anywhere and have a mini linux laptop with me.

>>61377306
It was a timing issue, I'm sure it's fixed by now.

On little nub mouse? that's it?
Pyra can use the analog stick for mouse and shoulder buttons for left/right/middle click
Plus no gaming controls... what if I want to play some FF7 or Dino Crisis? or SNES games?

>>61377320

The GPD Win can ironically.

Moto + Moto keyboard

>>61376272
>This could completely replace a phone
Unfortunately it can't, desu the best interface to manage small decides is the one current mobile phones use. Devices like that one would be really uncomfortable to use and even if you do prefer it most people won't.

>>61377362
How is it better when it can't even do a third of what the pyra does? Specs aren't everything. If it can't do something the Pyra can do then it doesn't matter if it has 100x the specs, it simply can't do it.
It's a niche device and if you can't see the appeal then it's not for you.

It's like someone wanting to buy a skateboard and you're all OH MAN BUT A CAR IS FASTER but they're like but does it fit i your backpack? and then you're all, BUT IT'S FASTER!! IT'S BETTER!!!

and you're all comparing two different things and says one is better because some arbitrary reason

>>61377349
Then get the fucking GPD Pocket, it's a better product, it already exists and has been reviewed, costs the same price, and has 5 years more modern hardware.

On top of all that it is a Linux PC, so your whole "muh Linux" argument is pointless

It doesn't do emulated games well, the Pyra has dedicated gaming controls... how can you see that the GPD is NOT the same when it LACKS these functions??

also
>non-removable battery

hahahahaha. wow. yeah...


>>61377471
have dedicated gaming controls? use a shoulder button to click the mouse? REMOVE THE BATTERY? microSD support? integrated 4G?

I mean really, are you even trying? The GPD does none of these things...

I've dealt with "removable battery" devices with more painful battery changeout systems. Just 6 screws needed and you pull the cable out and change the battery.

>>61377575

That you're planning on charging how exactly? You would need to put each battery in the unit, charge it, then put another battery in and charge that one too before any work.

Also what is a battery bank, because guess what the Win/Pocket charge off USB

Great argument!

>>61377645
Yes, every device with a removable battery is the exact same. How did I never notice before?

>>61377654
I'd rather have 1% open source than 0%

>>61377671
GPD win has no linux, so gaming controls are pointless if it lacks one of the defining features of the Pyra.

>thinkpad style nub
yeah those are just wooonderful....

Pyra also charges off USB but has 12hour battery life, the point isn't to have multiple batteries charged, it's that when the battery fails or deteriorates too much, you just buy another, not a whole new unit.

I'd rather use a microSD card and two full sized SD card slots with also having USB3 and an OTG slot...yeah

Oh yes so I can carry around another thing to do something that the Pyra has internally, great.

I'm no shill and you're an idiot for thinking their team would pay someone to shill for an obvious niche device, especially when they already have over 1k preorders, it's already gonna be manufactured

>>61377721
The microSD slot is right behind the battery... there are multiple pics of it. And no you don't, you just pop the battery cover off and pull the battery out... no tools needed. Did you even check the device out?

>>61377745

Last I checked emulators for PS1, SNES, GB/C worked perfectly well on linux. Oh you thought I meant your retarded new games like call of duty or battlefield? please.... It has emulators for tons of games. Why would I want your shitty windowws PC games when I could be playing through FF7 or hell, I could even play Diablo II on it. So yes, it does have games, just not the shitty games your used to.

If you combined the GPD and the GPD pocket it would be better, yes, but by themselves no.

Pyra can't be easily upgraded.
It's SoC module can't even be cooled. While they said it could easily support a Intel SoC, obviously not (they lied).
Now they want more money for addons latter like modules and better screens, etc.
Ridiculous.

>No, they want you to buy their GPD v2 next year, no doubt.

>it's incredibly easy to upgrade.... have you watched the video where he assembles one?
Yes, I've actually held a prototype in my hands too.
No, it's easy for the end user to upgrade, it's not easy to make upgrades.

They said it will easily support a module with a better Intel SoC than the GPD Win.
Now we know it's impossible, not only that there isn't a SoC better that could be cooled. It actually CAN'T support active cooling for it's SoC module.

>>61378178
Not to mention Intel killed the atom line so there isn't really a better processor unless you go with a house fire amd

>>61378153

I got the OpenPandora, also both the GPD Win and GPD Pocket. All nifty toys for me.
The Pyra is just outdated and dead. Followed it since it started, nothings changed.

Only an idiot throws out money without a guarantee, at least when I bought the OpenPandora I had a guarantee I will receive the device or money back.
With the Pyra I could just lose it.

>>61378203
>It can support it. With a teeny tiny fan, it's seriously just an eensy weensy itty bitty one. Like 5mm x 5mm x .2mm but it would distribute the heat.
Nope.
Even to support a SoC as good as the Win it would require a larger heatsink and fan then it could physically fit. The Win requires active cooling to retain Turbo speeds.
Second, there is no better SoC that takes less power.

>>61378215

Last time I asked was November or December and it was a "most likely" and not a guarantee.
Lurking the forums I haven't really seen it change. Maybe he made some extra money with the 140€ profit he sells the GPD Wins for? It's sad he rips off his own customers.

Will never work.
To produce something like this you need a decent consumer base to 'mass' produce them.
The target audience for something like this is so niche that it will cost more to produce, never mind the employee's wage, that it makes it over expensive. And taking in said 'target audience', they won't pay the price it's at for what it is.
May be a good toy, but you'll soon get bored and alienated by it, won't be a good product.
The people that support and make these products have a good mindset, but good doesn't make you money.

I'm not saying run out and buy one, but I've actually used one and it's impressive that you can cram a full computer into that form factor.

Crappy irrelevant analogies won't save you.

The Pandora was a concept, it's was a cool idea.

Other companies have since improved that idea into better, and actually available products.

Why the fuck are you trying to continue an obsolete device when the competition has eclipsed it completely?...

If you want a real analogy, you are trying to fund the next generation of a Pentium 4 when everyone else is on the 7th generation of the the i7 series...

>>61378640
Except computers don't "haul stuff" or "go fast" they just fucking compute and some are shitty at it like this thing and others are better at it because they have the proper amount of computing power for a device in 2017

>>61378640
So it's better because even when it's worse in every other aspect, it's better because of 4G and GPS? Something easily added to the Win via it's Full Size USB 3.1 port on the back?
Even the battery life is marginally better, not a huge surprise when it's a slow ass ARM and shitty TFT screen. Why should I pay twice as much for a worse quality device just because it has 4G and GPS, when USB sticks for that cost only 20€ more.
GPD Win also fully supports Linux now, Ubuntu, Debian or any other flavour.

It doesn't.
It only has an official guarantee that it will work with 128GB cards.
In reality it works with 256GB microSD cards. It will also support any futher card sizes if they are based on the same standard.

If you don't actively use the full size USB port, you can get away with a USB 3.0 low profile flash drive for additional space.

To do that with a raspberry pi or similar it'd take like a hundred at least, and not fit together until after you spent even more time on the frame. Neat.

I really like the idea of a UMPC, however I just wish that they had more power.

Pretty much, I just want something which maybe has worse battery life than my phone, but more power than it, say somewhere in the realm of being able to push ps2 emulation, however, given that intel is being pushed arround by amd now, they're putting less focus into their mobile processors now, meaning that it likely won't happen, given that no one realy wants to make better processor or this preformance, given the greater battery drain it would take, and the relatively niche market.

Actually the damned chip itself is ten dollars so it's a bit of a ripoff, especially considering you could buy a more useful android tablet for 50 that'd be more powerful, then get a keyboard to go with it. It's actually price gouging people me thinks. It should cost on more than 50.

>>61386352
Yeh, now that you mention it, when I research the GPD it is garbage specs. As long as I can run arch/ubuntu on the GPD and have hardware support then I am fine.

>>61384920
I remember seeing that Kickstarter, looking forward to seeing how the first round does.

If it turns out to not be DOA I might pick up a few.

Oh so now you complain about specs on an atom computer, but the 6 year old ARM processor is "perfectly fine".

You have some serious issues man.

Not even if you work 100hour weeks with doubletime pay, but someone with a salary would probably rotate you out before your expendable ass gets passed 40 hrs.

>>61386419
No, they both have shit specs. I just don't CARE about specs. The GPD does most of what I want for a fraction of the cost. So while it's not perfect, it's perfect enough for what I want.
I can play FF7, twisted metal 4, runescape, diablo II, and more when I'm on break and lunch at work. I can go haha ya'll can't do this to my runescape coworkers... it'll be fun!

Pass. Keep your money friend you'll need it if you're the type who buys idiotic things based on emotions instead of practicality. Serious.

>>61386566
Of course it is, they had to bend the whole build around the gamepad. Personally I think the alumium model seems to strike a good balance since one of the huge issues with rev one was the trigger buttons.

But anyways, the Pocket is aiming to be a UMPC rather than a console alternative, so yeah they went all out on build quality, although some people seem to dislike parts of the keyboard. Still a prototype so it's possible they'll uprev on the review units.

>>61386550

What I don't understand is if they want to market the GPD win as a console alternative, why keyboard?

>>61386639
I never said it was BETTER, you bubbering fool. I said it did everything I needed it to do so why QQ cause it's not as powerful as something else that DOESN'T do what I need it to do?

You're the special kind of idiot, learn some reading comprehension. Did they not teach that in the shit school you went to? Probably not, you went to public school. I feel sad for you, I really do.

This is the stupidest thing i've ever read today.
>b-but it fits in my pocket
>With the ports, USB and mini-HDMI, I can easily convert it into a full desktop pretty much anywhere.
So you oppose the idea of a laptop because it doesn't fit in your pocket?
Well guess what, a fucking keyboard, mouse and monitor doesn't fit in your pocket either so what good are those ports for you?

>I-I'll carry the peripherals in my backpack
Then just carry a fucking laptop

>>61386655
The WIN is aimed at being a portable windows console, so they built it around that use case of mainly having the device to play most non demanding games at acceptable frame rates. So they did things like the active cooling to help performance, the whole case being styled like a 3DS, etc.

The Pocket is a different device with a different use case in mind, more like people who need a light weight computer to use constantly who don't want to carry around the "bulk". I have to agree it's a pretty nitch use case, might be popular with network admins for example, or the other types who are running around needing a thin client for light work. Personally I'll stick with my netbook for that kind of stuff.

Anyways that means they went for a bigger screen, keyboard for more typing focused computing, less need for the manual fan, etc.

>>61386685
>I said it did everything I needed it to do
What does this doa doorstop do that nothing else can't?

>>61386655
Or did you mean why does it have a keyboard? It's there because it's still a windows computer at the end of the day, and it helps keep it usable in the desktop.

>>61376155
>>61386704
And for the record, modern fucking phones have USB-C so you can get all that with a single port.
So it having ports is no selling point whatsoever.

>>61386704

I'm not talking about these shitty Imacs, but it general. Seriously I laugh when my friend had these silly dongles poking out of his MacBook for random things like a flash drive / charging while I can just plug stuff into my laptop like a normal person.

I know it's a transition but it sucks.

what is it?

>>61386890
Yeah but it's not a problem on desktops, mine has the port as well.

It's just portable devices that bother me, since Apple and a few other vendors seem obsessed with being thin to the point of just removing a ton of useful ports.

It's great the the future will be USB C, but for now I'd love them to leave a type A port and maybe Ethernet until that matures

I was talking about the pocket, but I was more thinking like a systems admin or IT who's constantly hopping around the building, or an engineer who can make use of a company computer when they aren't doing anything intensive.

Like I said, I think things like the Pocket are a little too niche for my tastes, but I could see certain people loving it. On top of that GPD proved they can pull it off already eight he Win and the prototypes of the Pocket, so I don't have any real problem talking about it.

So, for anyone who isn't an autist who only wears combat pants, a backpack with an ultrabook or tablet is still the better solution?

>>61387287
Probably, you have to realize UMPCs are niche devices. It's for people who specifically want a handheld computer, with full desktop level functionality.

It's the concept that you can carry your computer with you as conveniently as a phone, so you have it available to you at all times. The original Pandora was a cool idea, but it fell short.

This particular clone is kind of useless since it's so old, more recent attempts are like what GPD have been trying to do take the idea to a x86 Windows/Linux system.

It's really if you want a handheld windows game machine or a linux/windows handheld workstation.

>>61387471
Still not giving me the selling point reason.
