Even more to see here (now)

The Retrostone has almost no features and bad specs. I think that the Pyra is comparatively cheaper. I would not buy the Retrostone since it has nothing special. Not even a keyboard to do on-the-go Haskell. also no mobile internet to check hoogle with. The Pyra is the ultimate complete device except that it lacks a outward facing camera and USB-C port.

The biggest issue with the RetroStone is probably the AllWinner SoC :/

Jolla Smartphone / Tablet (both not expensive)

Where do you actually find any Jolla/Sailfish phones? I can't find a single one. The closest I got was searching Amazon.co.uk for an Xperia to reflash, and they cost about £400

 

[Grench]

So, if all you're after is a disposable handheld device to play a few games or a specific console emulator from, there are lots of options out there.

The Pyra isn't going to have the horsepower of a modern desktop - if you think it should, you're delusional.

However, if you're looking for a general purpose computing device with awesome controls for gaming, an efficient and relatively easy to learn thumb keyboard, good connectivity and insane storage capabilities; or even any two of those capabilities; then you're in the camp with the rest of us where the Pyra ticks all of your check boxes.

Yes, the Pyra costs more than a lot of other things, chewing gum for example. That does not mean that the Pyra is expensive.

The Pyra has to actually come out before it can do anything

So are we realistically on track for a December release? When will prototype pre-orderer's get theirs? I have been quiet on here recently (i got married) patiently waiting on my pyra though.

Call me pessimistic but IMO no. Simply put there has never been a big push to get it out so I'm predicting 2020 at the earliest.

Have you read an update ED posted in Gamescom thread ?

 

[WizardStan]

To save everyone time:

I'm planning for the full production sometimes end of October maybe and the preorder-prototypes should go out early September.

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

Thanks. Lets hope. I really think its about time. My enthusiasm has faded a bit but I still await a pyra

Good morning all .Samples from Colors arrived . This week we will finish with the mold that needs to create an Air Fan for the Case . So next Week in Saturday 07/09/2019 we will do new samples .It might take 2 saturdays to finish this cause there are 4 colors (black,Grey,Red,Blue) and 6 molds ,That means i need to upload molds 24 times on injection machine .I am not so good like ED on making videos but i will try my best to gather some Data and send it to ED

I agree with your point, though I disagree with your wording. Pyra is certainly expensive. There is however a difference between being expensive and being too expensive, and also a difference between expense and value for money.

The Pyra gets an air fan? For all I know that's news to us - it is to me at least. Please elaborate. ?

Language barrier
Not a fan, but for circulating air (without a fan).

Well, it would indeed be possible to hack a small 10x10mm fan in there

 

[docbroke]

I believe they are creating vents for air circulation near heat sink.

Correct.

 

[azouls]

thank you for correcting me . Yeah the language barrier is something i am trying to fix everyday

Small update from my side:
I've done a little work tweaking the MATE desktop.
With my modifications it will look and feel similar to the Pandora desktop now.
I merged the two panels into one, added the Pyra button hotkey to open the menu and added "Emulation" as a main category under "Applications".
As an addition I made a dark and light Pyra theme, so everyone can easily swap between those.
