Comfy shitposting devices

>Constant shilling of shitty UMPCs everyday
>New one with decent hardware cames out
>Everyones hates it

I just don't get it.

It looks like shit. I'll stick to my x200s

Are you clinically retarded?! You didn't even try watching half of one of the videos?!

It's only cool if it's some special snowflake borderline useless Sony Vaio that was only ever released in Japan.

Meh, its interesting only if its possible to boot GNU/Linux distros

5.5" might be small enough for thumb-typing, which would make it better than a phone because physical buttons. But I don't really know because I'm not getting one.

Ikr. If it's new, it sucks. Story of Cred Forums.

this desy

Would consider one, but saw preorders already avaliable for a x86 handheld with 8GB onboard. I'd wait a year/two, if they keep making them better/give them a docking port+dock, I will certainly consider. Also, those should be going for 100$, not the price it is now.

Chinkpad X200s

Cheap, reliable, fast and upgradable. It's comfy as fuck. I'm posting on a T400 because I'm a bit too big for a X200 (but it's cute so I bought a few)

It's cheap creaky fucking chink shit.
At least pretend like you have a paycheck and get the superior pyra.

Comfy masterrace coming through

Oh man has anyone actually watched that youtube video in OP
it's like a cheap acer walmart laptop from 2007 god fucking damn

>GTA 5 in my pocket
Damn, I might buy this thing after all.

I'm waiting to see if it will have any problems running linux, it is sure to boot it no problem since it uses a standard laptop bios but I want to see if the mouse/xinput/dinput switch will work or if there are problems with the wi-fi implementation. If those problems are absent/solvable I'll buy it, otherwise i'll probably go for the pyra.

Anyone here have a Pyra? They look pretty cool.

that machine was cool ouside, but inside its madness itself

What?

pretty comfy user, what's the screen res on that?

1024x600

...

...

...

I bought one of these instead of getting a PSP Go. Would've been a nice alternative if the battery life wasn't ass

...

>Conan
Sold

Mine runs LegacyXperia Android 6.0.1. with no GAPPS. Battery life is pretty good desu. But I have a PSP Go too. Better battery life by far.

I've got the Verizon version. As far as I can tell there's no custom ROM support, can't even get it rooted.

>ancient dual core angry birds processor
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I have an ipad mini with a lifeproof brand case.

Basically its a trouble free shitposting media device, everything is fluent, the case makes it comfy to hold, can drop on the floor, use in the shower and sauna.

Plz no bully

>old device has old hardware
whodathunkit

>no more pre-orders
FUCK

Why the fuck do you wear those ugly shorts?

Can I install gentoo on it?

I would love to have that kind of shitposting device, I would have bought a ben nanonote if it had wifi.
The zipit z2 seems cool too but too outdated

Can the pandora still be bought ?Or is there any other good umpc running GNU+Linux ?

>Can the pandora still be bought
Yes, it's around 100€ on ebay. The Pyra will be out by the end of this year for around 600€.

Don't try to get a pandora, it's turbo old.
Wait for pyra, it'll be fantastic.

Tablets are in reality the best shitposting machines, just these guys are nostalgic for computers that were never really any good.

>no keyboard
no

It looks pretty cool but quite expensive, do you know when the pyra will be available ?

...

what's the massive cylindrical thing on the far left vaio?

Eventually. it's a very small team doing this shit so don't expect any hard numbers on anything until it's out.

Oh yes it looks cool but it's bloody expensive, when will the release be ?

That is a Sony VAIO PCG-GT3/K and that piece is a camera system which you can take pics or video from it.

sorry for the double post, my internet is laggy as hell...

whats the point of this little shit? to use a desktop os on a portable device? wangblows is only good for gayms and photoshop.

neat

I was going to get one but decided against it since I only really wanted it to play rpgmaker games and emulators.
Might still get one if it or a clone goes below 250.

the zipit is shit in literally every way - shit keyboard, shit durability, shit processor, shit display
sure, it's cheap, but you'll still regret whatever you spent on it

Oh okay thanks for telling me, then do you know any portable device running GNU+Linux without major flaws ?
Preferably not too expensive and easy to acquire. It seems to be a pain in the ass to find a correct handheld device, smartphones are jails, game consoles are too and netbooks are shit and still too big compared to stuff like the nanonote or the zipit and pyra/pandora...

I wish I knew - I have the same criteria for such a device and the best I've found is smartphone+Termux, sadly.

you want the fucking pyra man read the thread jfc
nice things are expensive.

Anyone remember these? I guess they were pretty shit, but I always liked the aesthetic.

What was shit about them?

Vaio P's next on my list, probably going to replace with it. I like the UX more but the P's more pocketable.

I guess I just expect to much. I never had one, but a 2ghz atom processor and 2gig of RAM(soldered to the mobo) seems kind of underwhelming. I know I'm a huge faggot, but I just always fantasized about about making a vaio p into a nice little kali-book that fits in your left back pocket.

Lack of a touchpad/good pointer support irrelevant since you'll be doing mostly terminal work anyway, l33t h4x0r aesthetic. please guys somebody shoot me down before my unhealthy obsession with these things returns from beyond the hardware obsolescence grave!

Someone please post that vaio p pantsu advertisement, I can't find it

>Lack of a touchpad/good pointer support
It's got a TrackPoint though.

you guys aren't helping.... I'm checking my local craigslist for used examples now...

also /r/ing an example of someone putting a p into the back pocket of some non-femanon pants

Do any good chinkware vaio p knockoffs exist?

pick is "mi book" chinkware icuck air knockoff. apparently it is pretty slim and has discrete graphix. I forget specs but will look up for lazy anons who /r/

Not yet, in fact I believe the MiBook is the first Xiaomi laptop

interesting. Seems like there off to the races. I don't know of any 'books of comparable form factor with discrete graphix. their probably out there though. we can be umpc/untlabook bread now?

I formally apologize.... they're*

before anyone bitches

> (OP)
>Would consider one, but saw preorders already avaliable for a x86 handheld with 8GB onboard.

Where did you see this?

Have a white one, it's kinda shitty, but it's kinda nice, and I like how small it is

It gets the job done

There's an official sony bootloader unlock, and an CM install guide.

that is that thing on the far right

Im thinking of building one of these.

I want one of these but they cost 200 USD and up

Useless. Seriously, even for ARM, a Pandora or N900 would be better.

I would have built one, but all the keyboards available at that size are complete shit. Also that sort of thing really needs a trackpoint or something instead of a touchscreen

That is the Toshiba Libretto W105. Basically, a UMPC with touch screen on both side for either typing or suffering the web. Own it and will say it might not be the great item to get as it have some minor issue with it mostly how it was design. The battery is rubbish in that you can use it under 2 hours in light use or 1hr and 20 min in realistic use. The fan is on no matter what and you can hear it trying to cool this UMPC down. This get loud when you try to push it to it`s limited.

An interesting tool which isn`t useful to be use. Kinda funny as this is the last laptop under Libretto brand which is kinda a nice fitting on trying to show how much they can cramp into a small size laptop. Just suck it didn`t really work well in real life.

one fh these would be cool so i can have a linux box to carry around with me were i go. maybe even do some script kiddy cracking

>suffering the web

you heard the man

>all this weeb linux shit
11" Macbook Air is comfy as fuck.

I was very tempted to get it instead of the 13", but
>1366x768
(a perfectly fine resolution compared to UMPCs, but when paying the price of a full laptop I want full laptop usability)

2comfy4u

literally the perfect res on an 11" screen dude

I think a 5" screen phone with a physical keyboard and a trackpoint that dual boots android and a pc os would be cool.

>trackpoint
No need.

>dual boots
Not a hardware restriction

I'd want a N950 but one that didn't remove all the N900 features.

I must know! What is this?

Needs a number row.

This is just to illustrate the idea. Obviously it would have to have the right hardware for using a pc os.

PS Vita

>implying you can't run Ubuntu on an N950
Are you referring to x86?

where the fuck can I even get a phone with a full keyboard anymore?

I'm real tired of tapping on glass all day

>8fps on low settings, 640x480
AMAZING!

It's almost as bad as the PS3 version!

What would be the best SoC to make one of these mini computers out of?

That was far smoother than 8 FPS. I'm surprised actually.

you dress and hold shit like a retard. also do you live in a van?

>best
That's yet to be invented .

Least shitty currently available one then? It doesn't have to be amazing but I'd rather not use a slow as tits pi when there are better options available

$300 for a 5" atom

ITS HACKKER MAN

And 4GB of RAM
And a 6,000 mAh battery
And active cooling

Hey at least it's not a pandora with an angry birds processor.

Don't buy it if you're not interested or can't afford it.

Sadly that atom isn't much more powerful, but hey, it's something. I could live with ARM but not the underpowered piece of shit that the pyra is going to have.

I'm interested as fuck and $300 is not that much to pay but it's definitely more than any atom-chip device is actually worth.

Is that a game cube wavebird receiver on your monitor?

>but it's definitely more than any atom-chip device is actually worth
Mass produce your own then.

>Sadly that atom isn't much more powerful
Actually it is. That's a fucking Z8750 with active cooling, 4 x86 airmont cores @ up to 2.56 GHz. It should be at least 4X as powerful as the dual core angry birds processor on the pandora.

>on your monitor?
That's a GC controller hub, what's so weird about the fact that a GC controller is connected to it?

It was for right? Cause I totally agree.

Well it sure is faster than the pyra SoC (it's a piece of shit to be honest), but it only score around 1.1k on geek bench and 3.7k on the multiscore. That's about as powerful as a Snapdragon 810 is and even that would trash it in the multiscore.

I don't expect them to pu snapdragon 820 in their systems but I wonder why they at least don't go for mediatek. They have some decent chips these days.

just didn't expect to see one of those randomly.

I live in a shed

How else would you hold a netbook like with only 2 hands? I can still reach all the keys doing that

Run Corell painter... Zbrush? Pfft.

>How else would you hold a netbook like with only 2 hands?

not the way you do it you fucking bitch

You don't, holy shit.

Sorry you guys have baby hands

No matter how big one's fingers are, you don't hold a netbook like a phone.

>I can still reach all the keys doing that
>Sorry you guys have baby hands

>he can't even actually reach all the keys

If you are so poor you live in a shed how are you so fat?

put it on your lap or on any surface ever, you knuckle dragging retard.

He's not an obvious weeb fag who spends all his money on loli body pillows

Why is this a thread again?

I'm not a weeb I don't own anything anime related.

>ugh stop liking what I don't like
>REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

It's a useful skill if I need it

what

Those are not big hands, just fat fingers.
Everybody over the age of 21 would have hands big enough to do that, don't kidd yourself.

>skill

One hand holds, the other types, you can use give fingers instead of just your thumbs, I do it with a Vaio P, works like a charm.

Can you show us some more pics of your shed please? Also, why do you live there?

>not just holding it in one hand and typing with the other
it's faster

You mean

>2016
>not having a cuckshed

Nu uh, my skill is superior.

Sup guys

>unironically ever having a cuckshed
This isn't a /desktop/ or /rice/ thread.

But that picture is inside a shed unless they live in an unfinished house with particle board for walls

Ugh, where's my font smoothing

>he still does not get it

Its the browser I'm using, its very minimal but the aliased font doesn't bother me.

what is that device?

>don't making Kali nethunter

>wasting time on some random youtube videos
It's silly how people expect others to watch the videos they post.

PocketCHIP
Getchip.com

If you need the network tools of Kali then just get a N900, people used that thing for actual "hacking".

Why not a tablet or even a smartphone?

Rocket Ship?

>something has obvious flaw
>people point it out
>"w-well then do it yourself!"

You have autism, kill yourself.

>something has obvious flaw
Where? Because it's a 5" Atom? That's exactly what it's supposed to be.

You are a attention whore, kill yourself.

Louis rossmann would be proud.

The price, you fucking tard, learn to read.

Looks neat af. But I'd probably have more fun making one myself

The price is fine, he's just bitching about it.
Not even netbooks with shittyer specs where cheaper when they came out.

>obvious animu shitposter is obvious

current atoms aren't that shitty anymore user.

Well done, idiot.

>Well done, idiot.
The irony, topkek! The fact still remains that you're a animu shitposter, I wasn't even thinking that they're all the same user.

No the price is not fine. It's expensive as hell compared to every other chink tablet that can do the exact same thing except for useless game shit.

It's a western shit, stop comparing it to chink shit.

Fine, find me a chink one that does exactly the same and is cheaper?
This is even gay for bait.

>$300
>one of a kind
>product of small business
>expensive
back to /csg/ with you NEET

high five

Maybe something like intel compute stick?

That's even worse then the Atom used in OPs post

Is it worse than an rpi? Also there's a 2nd version of that intel thing that's better than the 1st.

>Is it worse than an rpi?
Lol no, the RPi is ARM, the Compute Stick is Atom, x86.

OpenPandora

these things are so stupid. Why not just use a smartphone that can do everything these things can but with an interface designed for the form-factor? They have much higher resolutions, better touchscreens, customisable keyboards, millions of apps including terminal emulators, game emulators, Cred Forums browsers etc. Much more powerful and faster. Smaller, lighter, don't look like a 90s weaboo.

If you need a bigger screen and/or keyboard get an x-series thinkpad to supplement your smartphone.

Honestly give me ONE single advantage these things have over smartphones. Just ONE. And don't say physical keyboard - they always feel like shit, on-screen keyboards are better.

>trying to play my 1000+ game steam library on a phone

1000 games? really? you play over 1000 games on one of these things? What are its specs and screen resolution?

Also there are apps that can do game streaming to android.

You have over 1000 games on your Steam library?
Why? Have you really finished them all?

>Honestly give me ONE single advantage these things have over smartphones.

Actual buttons, large screen size, and x86. Whether anybody likes it or not (I don't), a lot of software is bound to x86 still.

>>they always feel like shit, on-screen keyboards are better.

RIght, that's why we have all moved over to touch screen keyboards on desktops.

>large screen size
most of these have smaller screens than modern smart phones, and lower res. Anything bigger than around 7 inches is crossing into netbook territory.

>x86
What x86 programs does anyone need to have available in their pocket at all times? Word processing, CAD software, photo/video editing, IDE use would all be horrible on a device of this size. Most of the pictures in this thread are just people shitposting on Cred Forums anyway.

and by "they always feel like shit" I'm referring to the crappy low-travel "bubble" keys found on most of these handhelds. I don't know the proper name for them, sorry. Obviously mechanical switches and even rubber domes feel much better but these devices don't have them.

oh yeah forgot to mention, word processing, CAD, photo/video editing, IDE - smartphones can do all these things too. Probably no worse than a 5 inch handheld can.

>Word processing, CAD software, photo/video editing, IDE
I'd like all of those desu, remember that people used to do all of this on 800x600 with no problem.

Mine arrives next week, it should be fun.

>and by "they always feel like shit" I'm referring to the crappy low-travel "bubble" keys found on most of these handhelds.

Oh yes, _those_ pieces of shit. The GPD probably has them, but the Pyra definitely doesn't.

>iPad Pro
>comfy

nigga that's 1 inch away from being a damn smart TV

Quite a big pocked lads

It's so funny how butthurt people get when someone enjoys something, like an UMPC, it's like physically painful for them that they have to cry about it on a anonymous image board.

this old sony vaio vgn-t3hp is pretty comfy
I usually use it for irc and discord, has a pretty alright battery life of about 6 hours, 11.1" 1366x768 w/ 1.5gb with a 1ghz centrino is enough for crux linux easily, it can handle x okay too, only downside is when it gets hot (which only happens in x using firefox) the fans scream their bollocks off, only weighs about 1kg too

glasses for scale

No. Listen - I think they're cool as hell from a hobby point of view. But some people here are actually trying to argue they're practical for actual use.

Name user?

What if they are, to those people? There are few things more pointless than trying to convince someone who uses something that it's actually useless.

All of these machines are fragile, gimmicky faggot shit. Get a Thinkpad for 100 bucks and put bootleg Win7 on it.

>tiny screen
>tiny keyboard
>no mouse
This is NOT comfy. Sitting on a comfy chair and using a powerful desktop PC with a mouse, a mechanical keyboard and a big screen is comfy, not this shit.

Is the iPad Pro really that big? Holy guacamole...

Would it be possible for someone with a very, very basic understanding of electronics to pick up the skills required to make a small, totally custom laptop within 2-3 months?

I know I can handle the fabrication and soldering, but I don't know much when it comes to digital circuitry.

The idea I have in mind is a ~7" sized palmtop with a 1080p tablet screen, 2 or more hours of battery life, and hardware capable of running some older games on low settings, like EVE Online or any Source game.

I wouldn't care if it's 30mm thick, as long as it does the job.

Could I jam some kind of sub-mITX motherboard into a form factor and use a downclocked desktop CPU, or something?

To run source games at non-potato framerates and settings you'd need a Core M3, so that will cost you dearly and won't come with a 7'' screen. You could probably mod a chink tablet otherwise.

Do you poo in loo

Let's say I want to stuff a small (maybe MXM size?) yet relatively powerful GPU into it that only switches on when needed; if I'm gaming on it then I wouldn't have it running on battery, so power usage there wouldn't be an issue. Would a less powerful CPU be able to handle games then? One of the quad core Atoms, maybe.

Try with a external gpu, probably would work

Blackberry Priv is pretty good, user. Even though I'd prefer a landscape sliding keyboard, the portrait sliding keyboard isn't too bad either for my tiny thumbs

shhhhhhh just research how impossible that is.

best you could do is adapt a newer tiny ass macbook motherboard

even asian dick sized tablets can fit proper CPU like core M processors.

How the FUCK do you stay comfy on such a small space

By not being fat.

I can see all the cumstains on each device

I'm buying a Pyra instead because LTE, better keyboard, more aesthetic, and muh freedoms

No that'd be 1440x1050. If it has to be widescreen, 1280x800 or 2560x1600 at 200% scaling.

>you're not allowed to name the main advantage because I don't like it
Well I don't like touchscreens, they always feel like shit. Physical keyboard with a real OS.

Yup, it's for testing out the Dolphin emulator on my desktop PC. Did work but need to reinstall it as I got myself those multi-USB port which I need for what I am doing.

Try it out when it came out in North America. It was interesting UMPC but typing will get tired after a while (small keyboard and big hand). Also, not as great as people try to make it to be. With the current OS they use at the time, it's slow. You can try to put in a very light Linux OS to make it more snapper but with what it come with it, it isn't as great and I think the earlier model have issue with the motherboard. Never own in it but read about the issue from those UMPC forum in the time. Still, Sony do make some interesting tech for the time.....just not as useful for normal usage even at the time.

Well...you can try if you can find it cheap. Also, it's a touch screen keyboard which doesn't sound bad on paper as we're using them now on tablet and phone but the one I got don't give you feedback for some reason. I think they should have a button which is turn off and I need to find it to turn on. Still, the other issue I have with it kinda put me off a bit. Might go back to do some more work on it when I have some spare time.

*High Five back* Very good mouse when I use it on my desktop (and have some minor issue with my hand after years of typing and editing work). Just wish they is a good one which is wireless and isn't cheap quality.

Sony VGN-UX Series. They're few version but that info should give you a starting point to found out more about this tech.

Why would I need to jack off using old tech when I can get a cheap Moto G (1st gen) with the micro SD slot to watch porn?

Soon™

my x200 is comfy

Recent ones arent that bad.

I'm hoping they go for about $300 since the XD is $200.

How upgradeable are they?

Why are you covered in cum stains?

Wasn't aware I came paint

Pretty comfy photo. x201 here.

What's a good umpc that's at a decent price?

It's to prove how powerful this thing is.

Can netbooks run games like LOL, GTA5 in it?

>shitty build quality

This desu, Everything else in here seems clunky and autistic

If ipads had and os which was essentially the same as a mac, they'd be so comfy.

I still don't know why they basically made them big ipods

Whom are you quoting? It's a indie device, manufactured in China, what did you expect?

No one talking about the Sharp IS01??

it's also like an inch thick, has a resistive touchscreen, and is 600 USD. the Win can play PC games, which is nice if you want to play some older games or all of the Humble Bundle games you never touched (and for the non-gamer evangelists if you're buying these devices with super prominent gaming controls just to play sysadmin then you're a m o r o n).

I have a venue 11 pro.

I like it because the keyboard is detachable, functions like a normal laptop keyboard and it has an extra battery inside.

>skill

Is it worth the carpel tunnel?

It's a 5.5" Windows touch laptop with a game controller built in, 4GB of RAM, and right now they're using the best Atom chip available. Compare that to larger 10" tablets that have more room to work with like the Asus t100ha which costs the same and has a keyboard, but a weaker processor and no game controller, or to the Pyra which has worse hardware and costs twice as much even in its base configuration that only has 2GB of RAM. Shrinking tech costs money, Windows costs money, extra hardware costs money.

The fact that it's going to retail for $500 tells you what GPD is really working with, and the fact that the preorder was only $300 is a boon to those interested in this kind of thing. My hope is that this is the first real step for PC to finally conquer the market that has eluded it for over 25 years: handheld gaming.

I think it's because tablets are too delicate.

that looks like ATM machine

kek

>ATM machine

Sooo.. according to ''EvilDragon'' (the guy who created the Pandora and Pyra) the GDP Win has an open bootloader, so you will be able to install Linux but there is barely any support for Cherrytrail CPUs because 90% of the devices using it have closed bootloaders and are stuck on either Windows 10 or Android. At least it's getting a little bit more interesting.

Also, here's a video showing the UEFI Bios.
youtube.com/watch?v=aEPK7vgZpmA

>>ATM machine
So I can use my PIN number to get money to buy LPG gas.
It's really unique and one of the only ones I know.

How stupid can you be, you don't even know the difference between a Personal Computer and an Operating System.

>Automated Teller Machine machine

Remember user to put your working laptop on a flat surface... Using your laptop on bedsheets or other material might block the air flow and result in overheating. This might cause GPU and/or CPU failure.

An AMD c60 can. But the cpu is so slow that trying to install something brings tears to your eyes. Had a cheap shitty acer 522ck. It was surprisingly good for the money but still had all the know "netbook problems".

I think it'd be pretty cool if you were able to, say, pack most of the electronics into the keyboard part of a laptop, with the screen having a decent sized battery in it as well.

When connected they'd use a physical port to transmit data and power, but if you split the screen from the base, you could keep a short range wireless connection to it, allowing you to place it somewhere more convenient (like a stand or a wall mount), or even set it aside while you're connected to a bigger screen.
