We've certainly come a long way since the GP32, haven't we? I ordered a RetroStone, but as I have a 7 year old, I may get this one too.

Indeed. These are almost certainly prototypes used to prove to Sinclair Research Ltd that they are being unfairly targeted by their opponents. I mean, just look at that image. if that's not a prototype, I might eat a hat. Made of something edible....

Whereas with the Pocket, you get the opposite effect if you use the supplied charger... :D I just love how they can't get this right!

This might not work for you, but I experienced the same from my GPD Pocket. Turns out it was the supplied charger - not only was it an electrical hazard (when plugged in, if you stroke your finger over the metal case of the Pocket, you could feel a "vibration" effect meaning that current was...

The Pocket came down in price pretty quickly and there's no reason to assume this won't. Breath of the Wild on a mobile device? That would be heavenly.... :D

I've heard tell that it can run GameCube and PS2, but I don't know how well. Probably not run Wii games though!

Is that thing still going?

Goodness me, didn't you see any of the Ultimate games? Horace? Raf Cecco's games? Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond? Ocean, Imagine, Ultimate, Psion, Hewson, Firebird, Software Projects et al? There was an absolute plethora of amazingly good, very playable games on the Spectrum! Some were...

Our school had 2 C64s, two Spectrums networked via IF1 (for gaming purposes, both) and for serious stuff we have RM380-Zs :) The IT Lab teacher was asked to get BBCs but he didn't see the point - they didn't have software available that he wanted for general computing tasks and didn't play...

Yeah, I got my first Spectrum (my own machine as opposed to my dad's) in 1982 when they first dropped. 16Kb of RAM and a surprising number of games available at or close to launch (with BASIC to tide you over). Went up to the 48k the following year when the price dropped. The 80s was huge in...

Which videogames crash? I don't recall a videogames crash, and I played new releases (out of hundreds per year) for the whole of the 80s. Was it a US-centric thing?

It's literally the same hardware as the GPD Pocket, so it's feasible. Not sure about getting it into that sized case though.

I don't think there's any way that the Pyra will be able to play the latest Zelda or Mario...

It's questionable how much actual personal interest SC has in the device tbh - I was at the launch party of the original Vega, and SC was supposed to be there (that was the main reason I went, aside from a private meeting with the directors) but was a no-show due to health reasons. Very...

It won't matter. IGG has literally zero legal methods to extract cash from RCL. If the money is gone then it's gone and there's nothing anyone can do at this stage except for shout loudly on facebook about it, I'm afraid. What's really interesting is that this is the only campaign which has...

I think my original estimate of a release date may have been a little too conservative.

Aside from those deep historical examples, I suppose the fact that it looks very much like one? The Kaypro 2000 looked bugger all like an MBP. And the keyboard looks remarkably similar, regardless of who actually invented it. I mean, when most people see the pocket, they don't go "oh wow, that...

Indeed, but are GPD not on dodgy ground against the macbook?

Indeed, it's quite rare for IGG to step in - most projects fail and disappear.

I bet he wasn't. Also, the listed CPU can't make use of 8GB of RAM, only 2GB... It's also spec'd as only supporting 1920x1080 (though that's via HDMI so not sure if that will be a problem).
