[RndTbl] Interesting little PC

[Adam Thompson]

A neat little PC:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gpd-win-intel-z8700-win-10-os-game-console-laptop#/,

which now appears to be available from:

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/GPD-Win-5-5-inch-Game-Console-Intel-Atom-X5-Z8500-Windows-10-OS-4GB-64GB-Gamepad-Quad-Core-2-24GHz-Gorilla-Glass-Screen-1280-720-Type-C---Black-367872.html

 

Basically a complete system in a handheld form-factor.  Yeah, the specs are pretty low, but the amazing thing about a dancing bear isn’t how well it dances…

Some of the design choices are questionable – is that REALLY a TransFlash slot?!?  Yeah, TF and MicroSD are compatible, but WTF?

 

Supposedly it can run Linux, and it can even run OpenBSD!

 

If nothing else, it would make a nifty handheld serial terminal, when coupled with a USB-to-serial cable :-).  Heck, it could even run Windows for that!
