πThe "Book386" (a Hand386 in the Book8088 case) that I've long wanted was just released (called the Pocket 386)! https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805356267711.html
the seller linked in my previous post is out but this other one has 4 left: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806577006233.html

The Penguin of Evil@etchedpixels @jxyzn @vga256 @polpo Then there's the Psion 3/3a/3c/3MX, which ran on a NEC V30 core with some custom hardware (V30 was a fast 8086 superset), and the Psion 5/5MX, on ARM, which evolved into Symbian unto the later Nokia Communicators (S80). The Atari Portfolio devs previously worked on the Psion 3's predecessor, the Psion Organizer family ...

To have $219 or to not have $219, that is the question

Phil Nelson@polpo waaaaaant

½@polpo No mention of how much RAM though, or clock speed. 1MB, 4, 5, 8, 16, or more?
Anatoly ShashkinπΎ@7leaguebootdisk @polpo 40 Mhz, 8 MB. Gotta scroll down a bit.
@dosnostalgic @polpo so it will run OS/2 fairly well.
ultraloveheaven Κβ‘Ι@polpo someone talk me out of buying this
PunnO)))@polpo Reeeeeally wish they used proper 4x3 LCDs.
BjΓΆrn@polpo that is going on my wanted list π
Kestral@polpo YES this is wonderful!
Trevor Flowers@polpo Sold out. πΏ
Globaltom@polpo Wasn't the 386 discontinued back in 2007?
Gorgeous na Shock!@polpo They're already out... it's probably for the best. π

@polpo oh my gosh, this is so incredibly tempting
ShutterBugged@polpo I've become weary of these small 90's laptops after it came out that they were ripping off GPL BIOS code from Sergey Kiselev without providing source code.
Mark Gardner@developing_agent @polpo The Chinese have a complicated relationship with intellectual property
@mjgardner
Having a "complicated relationship" doesn't excuse their behavior insofar as my willingness to buy their hardware.
When they benefit from code that Sergey provides they can do the bare minimum that he asks in return.
@developing_agent Good news! You werenβt in the target market anyway!
The hell gives you that idea, lol. π
I'd love to own exactly this, hopefully someone comes along who isn't a lazy parasite. π€ In the mean time I guess I'll just have to stick to (Sergey's) PC XT.
Joshua Rose@polpo needs a banana, I can't picture it's size, tho someone posted a pc in a pocket so that's helpful

Michal Nemecek@togo @polpo stilll available here:

CharonPDX@polpo Sold out after only selling 19. βΉοΈ
@polpo Woot! Restocked, looks like I got one.
@charonpdx Nice! Looks like there's plenty now.

Marcin Juszkiewicz π@polpo I wonder when they discover Vortex86 SoC family and start making fast 486 computers in such form factor.
@hrw yeah, a fast 486 is what I'd really want in this form factor. There has to be a good reason why they haven't used a Vortex86 yet...
JSON Wagner@polpo i got my Book 8088 v2 the other day, this shell and keyboard look pretty different from it
@jswagner ah you're right, it is pretty different!
bifo@polpo That image with it in a jeans pocket is hilarious.

Light The Unicorn!@polpo This is very cool.
I absolutely do not need one (I keep telling myself!), but I'm really glad things like this are being made!
LPπΈLight up the night π AnV@polpo I would strongly suggest watching the video on that page and paying attention to the 4:3 resolution being stretched on the widescreen panel though, and the "mouse" appears to be by mode-toggling the cursor keys.
@LionsPhil unlike their previous devices which always stretch to widescreen, you can actually get into the display's OSD and set the ratio to 4:3 (and adjust color balance, which can get out of whack on the Hand386... I went down a huge rabbit hole with mine). The mouse seems fine for quick testing which is perfect for my use case (developing PicoGUS on the road).
StormkeeperGU (ShM) πΊπ¦@polpo I'm tempted to get one, as it'd be useful to have to hand as a portable Win3.11 environment, especially if it reduces the need for me to get my future 386 desktop build out from storage, outside of some specific use cases that need more exotic hardware!
