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.

While the company hasn’t announced pricing or availability details yet, here’s what we know so far about the upcoming GPD MicroPC 2.

The new model has a physical design […]

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 […]

Compaq pavimento el camino para la cascada de clones de PC a mediados de los 80s, permitiendo que IBM perdiera el control de la plataforma y que Microsoft e Intel se volvieran compañías dominantes de esta era.

El 4 de noviembre de 1982 Compaq anuncia a la venta la Compaq Portable PC, una de las primeras de su tipo y el primer PC Clone compatible con IBM comercialmente exitoso.
Su éxito fue crear clones del BIOS de las IBM con ingeniería reversa y preparándose financiera y legalmente a la inevitable demanda por parte de IBM que la Corte terminó por desechar.

Hey Gamers! Would you be interested in a SpawnPoint Handheld? Curious

I haven't forgotten TAVA FLYER #portablepc and my idea to map its "16 bit expansion connector". Just... it's been two very busy weeks.

That thing has all the address and data lines coming through it via buffers and latches, as expected. Tracing lines that go directly to the CPU/DMA controller is easy, but for those that get lost in a logic jungle of 74' ICs I fear I'll have to start drawing a schematic.
