Looking for your first gaming device?

Consider a #SteamDeck. You can find it used below $300 on eBay and similar prices.

👍 Doubles as a PC

Trick to Fix Xbox UX Chaos

YouTube

#Dave2D says:

The #XboxAllyX is aimed to enthusiasts. People who are looking for $1,000 device know what they're getting into.

The white one, however, my suspicion is that it will be returned a lot. If it's an Xbox product, it has to have an Xbox experience.

We'll see how successful it was when the drop the number of units sold. Hint: they won't.

For all the convoluted ways BSI had in the day to drive their LCDs its refreshing to see Dolch do what I do: run a cable out the back #retrocomputing #dolch #portablepc

Sorry guys, but the #Z2Extreme doesn't look like a huge leap in performance.

Guess we will have to wait until AMD gets their shit together for #RDNA5 and #Zen6, hopefully on TSMC 3nm, to see if there are big performance leaps or not.

There is a reason why Valve hasn't released a Steam Deck 2, and this is the answer to that question.

Just noticed #Xbox first-party handled has been cancelled, which makes sense why the heavy push for the #XboxAlly.

My guess is that there is more money to be made licensing/subsidising Xbox-compatible handleds than investing on their own hardware.

"This is an Xbox" vibes.

GPD MicroPC 2 is portable computer with a 7 inch display, Intel N250 processor and a thumb keyboard

Six years after releasing the original GPD MicroPC as a palm-sized computer aimed at IT professionals, GPD is bringing back the form factor with a new model sporting a bigger screen, faster processor, and more storage.

After unveiling the new GPD MicroPC 2 in June, GPD has now posted a preview for an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign set to begin on July 10th. Backers will be able to reserve […]

I just discovered the amazing Evertop project by @cobble2stone @ericjenott! Evertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM, running DOS, Minix, and other old 1980s operating systems, including Windows up to version 3.0. Powered by a low-power microcontroller and an e-ink display, it can run for hundreds or even thousands of hours on a single charge, thanks to its built-in solar panel and extreme power-saving measures. It's loaded with built-in peripherals like a keyboard, PS/2 ports, graphics support, audio output, serial ports, USB, Ethernet, WiFi, and LoRA radio. Charging options include a solar panel, DC input, and micro USB. It features a detachable keyboard, optional hibernate, and power shutoff. Storage is via SD card, and it's powered by an Espressif ESP32 microcontroller. Compatibility includes almost all IBM PC/XT compatible DOS software from the 1980s and early 90s. There's also a minimal version, "Evertop Min," which reduces weight and cost by removing some features. I'd love to see a model with a Raspberry Pi Zero for more productivity-focused tasks. Let's see if someone is already working on something similar! #Evertop #RetroComputing #PortablePC #OpenSource #DIY #TechInnovation #Emulation #OffGridComputing #ESP32 #RaspberryPi #Minimalism #Productivity #EInk #solar #solarpanel #Typewriter

Steam Brick Mod converts a Steam Deck handheld into a tiny portable gaming desktop

The Steam Deck is probably the most successful handheld gaming PC to date thanks to a combination of an affordable price tag, decent hardware, and software that puts gaming front and center. But it’s also kind of a big device to hold in your hands.

So one hardware hacker decided to shrink the Steam Deck… by taking away the screen, controllers, and just about everything else that makes the […]
