That One Seong
The Average 成
Looking here to see if anyone has one for sale. Preferably one for under $250 if possible, because it's seemingly /im/possible for me to find one anywhere.
Much appreicated... though, to be honest, I was hoping someone was offering possibly a 1ghz model. However, this will do~Have a look here https://www.dragonbox.de/en/16-pandora
So... generally it's only somewhat less capable.Only if you're looking to run high-end emulators (such as N64, the later MAME ports etc) or some of the more demanding game ports. Other than that there's very little practical difference. Of course, there's the shitty silver case, so if you can avoid that you'll be doing well.
The CC Pandora, having "only" 256MB RAM often requires a swap file for memory-heavy work (such as running some dev tools) which does slow things down, but again it's more than sufficient to run pretty much everything.

Oh I WOULD. If I had the money to spend for a Rebirth that is... At the moment, the most I can spend is $250. >.>There are three versions...
Get a rebirth. Same ram but about 200-300 mhz less cpu power.
Collector reasons, immediacy reasons, and I've always wanted one to own. Besides, something that is this uncommon is a gem to own personally.I'd be getting a Rebirth / 1GHZ although why not wait for the Pyra now?
Excellent. Then I'll most definitely see about buying the bundle from DragonBox.I have a CC model Pandora, and with one exception, none of the software I've used has run out of RAM. That one PND was the Lazarus IDE, which is just awful and bloaty. And there's really no difference for the vast amount of Pandora software between the 1GHz and the CC, speed-wise.
It's a lovely bit of kit, but if the Pyra is truly on the way (and let's face it, it probably isn't) then you might want to save your cash a while longer.

No, it's not available anymore as we don't have any 1GHz PCBs left.And you can always upgrade the board to a 1GB later as well...
Since you're in the US, you might check Link's store too - shipping could be much lower and may be faster for 'ground' - though how something could ship by 'ground' under the Atlantic I have no idea. The last thing I sent to Germany took 26 days to get there, so they must be using a covered wagon on the sea floor or something.Excellent.

One more question (I swear); How is DragonBox Shop in terms of shipping to the Americas (Specifically the East Coast in my case)? It's the equivalent of importing but would be helpful to know.
In terms of the Pyra: I've seen some of it, and have seen most of the reveal conference. In my opinion, the thing is impressive looking as all hell, but in my opinion, the Pandora still is attractive to me for it's unique design and especially for the already existant huge software library. If anything, I will MAYBE check into the Pyra after it's matured and such when it comes out like... next year most likely, but for now, the Pandora is what my sights are on now. And to be short, I've waited farrrrrrrrrrrr too long for this to lose it. XD

The other option would be to buy one of the refurbished units from ED's store in March.
The Pyra is coming together nicely, but Realistically the Pyra is probably still 6+ months out. That is a long wait when the a CC or Rebirth Pandora is an order click and shipping time away.
Just what I thought. Pretty much all the US distributors from the main launch site are either non-existent or out of stock.link's store is a US distributor. but he does not have any in stock anyway. stick with dragonbox, if you need it now.
For the US, Link's Ithic.com is/was the only US distributor...Just what I thought. Pretty much all the US distributors from the main launch site are either non-existent or out of stock.
...Huh. I thought there was another. Well then.For the US, Link's Ithic.com is/was the only US distributor...
