    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    I'll let you know when my indigogo one arrives as they're supposed to go out before the retail ones. With the problems I've had with packages in the past I wouldn't be surprised if you got yours first. As for an ETA ED would know better than I.

    When Pyra would be cheaper? When There would be new replacement boards?

    I'm aware of that in the video game world where Nintendo/Sony/MS take a cut from the game sales or charge for access to a dev box to even make the games. If it's a semi open system (like android) they can't do that as easily but of the three only Sony makes android devices and even they have...

    When Pyra would be cheaper? When There would be new replacement boards?

    I found a different report from last month. They admit they ignore development and marketing costs. https://www.techwalls.com/production-costs-of-smartphones/

    When Pyra would be cheaper? When There would be new replacement boards?

    I could easily see the pre-order down payment being the final price IF it was Nintendo or Samsung or similar selling them in the millions. However they wouldn't use real Linux and would be trying to make more money selling a SDK to developersand take a cut from every game/program sale. I...

    When Pyra would be cheaper? When There would be new replacement boards?

    "Leaks" claim that the lowest power zen chip will be 5 Watts but there's no way to know if the leak is real and if it is it's unlikely that 5W is what the Zen APU will actually sit at as many of AMDs and Intels chips actually run well over their listed TPD under even light load.

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    I can tell you that the indigogo people have not all received theirs yet but I didn't actually expect to get it in October.

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    But SoC itself is MOSTLY compatible with Intel's desktop system! It's when you want to do things that usually aren't needed in the desktop world that the big problems show up and actually require special drivers for Windows too.

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    It's an older j2900 computer (Foxconn iBT-29) I bought in 2014 and the UEFI issues more likely have more to do with my use of Mageia Linux (witch didn't officially support it at the time). I never needed to rotate the screen so never tried and it's a VHS sized desktop so no battery info and...

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    I have Linux running just fine on a BayTrail computer. I'm using it as a small headless server but it was at one time being used for a basic internet box for my niece. I did test Xcom on it and other than poor FPS ran fine. Admittedly I had to manually set it to BIOS legacy boot as it wouldn't...

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    The Win was going to use a 8500 witch likely wouldn't have needed the active cooling. Whatever is the 8350 equivalent in 2-3 years would be a good candidate for a x86 CPU upgrade. At that point there will hopefully be a good RISC based SOC to use instead.

    THE NUMBERS IMAGE THREAD!

    There's also a reflection of 46 and 3.2 in there but it looks like one of the 900 pixel tall images unless there was a cancellation and it was 901 at the time of posting.

    Last known issue fixed

    In the collage I went to they auto fail any paper that references wikipedia in any way even after an independent study showed it was as accurate as the encyclopedia Britannica.

    Given up with any games?

    I gave up on getting all the achievements in Dark Souls when I got all the weapons and it failed to trigger. I gave up on a few games that were just bad. Not hard but not fun to play.
