the fk r these? seems neat? very very basic? but runs linux not windows

Holy shit I was looking for these for a while for a emulator handheld that I was going to custom design.

These things are expensive, or at least they were a year ago (90$+ each).

2nd useless thread in less than 3 hours

well done

can u actually do much with these? these seem to have very shitty specs.

Nah they are for like small project.
Less useful than like rasberry pi's because you can't install expansion cards. So you can use it for like GPS and sensors.

They are diff not for like regular PC stuff.

I guess you can plug it to your TV and use it for like playing movies and very light browsing.
I would tho prefer a NUC over it for that kind of usage.

It has plenty of power and it uses a x86 processor which allows you to run many more applications than say an RPI which runs ARM (although ARM software repos for linux have been growing steadily).

It has more than enough power to play emulators, browse the internet and stream media. After all all this can be done on a 333mhz CPU on a PSP handheld.

I was going to custom design a handheld console to rival that of the PSP Vita (since the vitas specs are so poor and is limited to only VITA games since there hasn't been any real exploits for it for running CFW) using this screen: http://www.chalk-elec.com/?p=1712

Since it runs x86, has a decent processor and GPU I could easily run games from NES era up to PS2/PSP era while maintaining a handheld form factor.

The only reason I never attempted it was due to the cost of the parts (it simply was not cost efficient to mass produce a few testing copies for beta testing users) and the battery technology simply wouldn't allow for the play time I was wanting to reach (5+ hours) while maintaining the form factor and weight I wanted.
