They have been making them so they aren't terribly behind schedule. Last Friday an employee of GPD posted a couple pictures on the GPD discord including this one and said the first batch of MicroPC's were undergoing aging tests.

You speak to Alice about this lately? GPD received a new production run of Win batteries in October. I've got a bulk order of Win, Win2 and Pocket batteries coming that I'll get in a month or so and they should still have more.

The MicroPC only has one ram chip, its not dual channel so 2x4 isn't an option. I asked the CEO of GPD several days ago about this and his response was that 8GB chips are no longer made and hard to source in the package they are using. These 6GB chips are the same ones that would have been used...

Have you ever brought up these concerns with Wade, the CEO of GPD? Several months ago when their stockpile of XD ribbon cables started running low I approached him about it and possibly getting the design files so I could produce the cables myself for long term support and he said they could...

The virus thing is weird because they've made 7000 units so far I think (Wade said 3/4 made but dunno if he's referring to IGG units fulfilled or the 1.3K plus 1.7K plus 7K production runs they've done) and there are only a handful of people that reported this so far. Neither my original SSD...

Gotta say its pretty impressive how GPD layered several boards in the top half dedicating and separating the battery in the bottom half. I'm kinda wondering if the case itself is futureproofed, I.E. when it comes time for a Win3 with a different cpu in a different socket they reuse the...

There's something curious about these prototype's. My unit worked pretty much perfectly out of the box running Ubuntu 16.04 including the touchscreen, the only thing that didn't work was closing the lid to suspend and that worked mostly, its just on opening it the right half of the screen would...

I'm really hoping quality of the screens improves in the final product. Asides from the insane amount of light bleed on the left edge which is very very noticeable on any dark screen the bottom left edge of my lcd has a permanent shadow. You can see the pointer in that area, the pixels aren't...

I was messaging back and forth with Wade last night. According to him 5V chargers are more used with devices that have a single cell battery unlike the Win2 with its 7.6v battery. PD chargers do have a very small market share but with the iPhone X and Switch using PD chargers he thinks more and...

I have one of like 6 or 7 test units in the US currently and it definitely is amazing and blows the original Win out of the water. I am very sensitive to PWM and have been able to see it on several other tablets I own but even at the lowest brightness I have never seen any flickering at all...

I'm under a NDA so I can't really talk about anything that happens on the forum especially since they have been tracking down and banning anyone who has violated it.

AMA by the CEO of Rhombio is live.

Mmm as skeptical as I am that video is connecting far too many dots for me. Rhombio has Rhesponded (kill me) seemingly to both the allegations of them violating NDA's and them faking stuff. This upcoming AMA might be interesting. https://blog.rhomb.io/rhomb-io-will-not-support-smachz-project/

So throwing out everything done so far and starting from scratch. I'm pretty sure these are the new companies that pending successful negotiations will be involved. https://www.bleujour.com/en/ http://www.ticnova.es https://www.bq.com/en/

Its fine for a fun and exciting round of internet he said she said presented by your host, a random internet stranger! Today in the ring we have Spanish tech company Rhomb and opposing them the Smach team! Rhomb steps up and quickly throws a blistering one two punch! And finally after 5 days...

I reached out to Rhomb requesting some clarification about the use of their modules still, their involvement prior to the breakup and how Technofingers is related to imasD and they sent me this.

I just checked and its been 3 or so days or so since that info found its way to their forums I guess which have blown up and the Smach team has been silent and given I doubt this'll blow over and has slowly been spreading across the web I can think of very few reasons they haven't said anything...

Well uh thats interesting. https://blog.rhomb.io/rhomb-io-will-not-support-smachz-project/ This is the contact details listed on Rhomb's website. And IMASD's contact info. As far as I can tell Rhomb is still a part of IMASD Rhomb has a dev wiki with a bunch of components including the cpu...

Yeah its from today. I found the statements about cooling system tests being adequate and them burning their test boards contradictory as well but figured I'd give them benefit of doubt here since we don't know exactly what happened. Either way though something does seem odd there, like you may...
