GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

[fusion_power]

(Besides, the Pyra is not 3cm thicker than the GPD Win)

Of course not, I never wrote this.

Because of that (and the fact that the GPD Win is wider which is worse than thicker in my opinion), the battery of the GPD Win is about 1mm thinner than the one in the Pyra.

Well, they still have space in there so they could make their battery wider and thinner, which of course would not work for the Pyra without a redesign of the case.

Of course there are. And everyone needs to make sacrifices if they want to reach a certain size.

Let's see what Nintendo does next.

Geekbuying.com says it'll be shipping in 2 days. I'm looking forward to see this machine running Minecraft/VMs/Linux, guys!

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.

Geekbuying simply never updated their website.
They will receive it after the Indiegogo deliveries, together with all other distributors.

Oh, thanks for the info ED!

 

[EvilDragon]

The next production has already started and delivery should start middle October.

I wish you would mean the Pyra...

But the Win also is a cool Handheld
But I ditnt need booth of them..

But it would be cool for these Truck Games like 18 Wheels of Steel or Rigs of Rods on the goo

 

[Silent-Hunter]

Won't Rigs of Rods work on the Pyra?

 

[matzesu]

Its opensource, so it should be portable, at least..
But I don't know if ptitseb is a fan of truckgames,

This game is quite powerhungry, but a native port could work..
And I just found some truckgames for Dreamcast which could work whit the emu

 

[ptitSeb]

The game (Rigs of Rods) use OGRE3D, that is pretty power hungry by itself.
I tried to run StuntRally, that is another racing game made with Ogre3D without much luck (many graphics issue, super slow), so I never tried RoR... Maybe I'll try some day, but don't have high hopes.

 

[matzesu]

But then it also want run at GPD Win??
Mybe whit a future SOC on Pyra

One of the Chinese users who has a GPD WIN (one out of the 2400 that have one from the jd.com crowdfunding) posted a disassembly guide.
It seems the battery will be simple to replace should it ever fail. Which is good to know

[EvilDragon]

Well, it depends what you'd call "simple".
Yes, it's simply plugged in, as it is in the GPD XD.
But it's glued to the case. And the glue is damn hard to remove. I never managed it to remove an old battery from a GPD XD Case without breaking the old battery (which is not fun with LiPos....)

 

[comradekingu]

Have you tried heat?

Edit: Hold on a minute, so if the shoulder-buttons say "YSA"

, where are the OMRON

switches?

 

[EvilDragon]

Have you tried heat?

No... I don't really want to heat a LiPo battery either :/

 

[Grench]

No... I don't really want to heat a LiPo battery either :/

Wow, SCREW THAT!

How many Screws does the Pyra need?

 

[Klumpen]

Wow, SCREW THAT!

How many Screws does the Pyra need?

Lid: 3, Bottom: 5 - if I remember correctly
I'm glad that ED has already done and documented this for us:

 

[EvilDragon]

It will be six at the bottom, but it's still a lot less

 

[Grench]

It will be six at the bottom, but it's still a lot less

Should we re-open the screw debate thread and re-hash the advantages of Torx and Allen over Phillips?

Nevermind - I can address that as a user installed option if/when I ever need/want to disassemble the case.
