linux works on this?
openbsd?

>Gentoo Personality Disorder

>>105664457 (OP)
shame they dropped the serial port, i assume new chips don't support it.

>>105664477
Ubuntu MATE out of the box.

>>105664504
>serial port
>don't supported buy a universal SERIAL bus

>>105664504
I still have micropc 1 and some pins on serial connector are straight missing. Laptop in a pocket and pins sticking outside were a bad idea.

intel n250 for a thousand bucks top lel m8

>>105664477

>>105664559
Chuwi is cheaper but much larger and has N150.

>7" display

Will desktop Linux work on a display that small?

>>105664504
shitty hardware that absolutely requires a hardware serial port and can't work with a USB adapter is extremely rare nowadays

if all you need is to connect to serial consoles of routers, they even sell direct USB to RJ45 serial cables with the adapter built in

>>105664680
Unlike Windows 11 you can set arbitrary sizes for panels, taskbars and icons in GNU/Linux.

>>105664680
Yeah? Never used a Steam Deck?

>>105664707
I have these RJ45 to serial cables.

>>105664457 (OP)
>$999
why would I buy this over an equally priced laptop or an x86 handheld, or a minipc?

>>105664759
Actually good keyboard for thumb-typing?

This still seems too big. Is there something smaller than this?

>>105664794
It's the same size as 6 inch gpd mini 1 I think. MiniPC 1 had a huge bezel.

>>105664759
>>$999
ooooooooooof.

>>105664844
You guys are poor?

>$999
grim

>>105664617
idgaf these things are all overpriced shit

>>105665022
You pay extra for small size and a limited run.

>>105665037
no i dont

>>105664457 (OP)
>still has a niggered up keyboard layout
e-waste at first sight

whatever happened to netbooks?

>>105664457 (OP)
I'm more of a Pocket 4 kinda guy

>>105665912
wait lmao it has a 8840U (Strix point) and costs like 100 bucks less? Why is the micropc so overpriced in comparison to that one.

>>105664457 (OP)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome here we come!

>>105664457 (OP)
let me guess
>above $400
>they haven't addressed any feedback from the previous version

>>105665935
intel v amd? You can also get the pocket 4 with an hx 370

>>105664457 (OP)
they can't even center a div

>>105665935
Price is TBA. $999 is just a placeholder until they announce the actual price.

>>105666054
It's less about intel v amd and more about one paying more money for 4 less cores and those are only e cores too. Also way worse IGPU. But as
>>105666131
said it might just be a placeholder. Though a weird choice as I would not have checked this device out again as I thought this was its actual price.

>>105664457 (OP)
Wow, GPDWin is still in business? Who buys these things? The steam deck proved that a handheld device running an actual OS on actual hardware doesn't need to cost 1200$, like all of GPD devices have.

This thing runs a N250? You mean a CPU released that only supports display protocols released in 2014? Holy DOA

>>105664457 (OP)
Based, I love GPD.
GPD pls don't change

>>105665851
Tech companies killed netbooks in favor of tablets and ultrabooks.

>>105666511
Steam Deck is shit as it has no physical keyboard.

Doesn't look like I can type fast enough as I could with a normal size laptop thinkpad, wich I already use for my IT job (switch and firewall configurations from time to time)

>>105667939
But you can thumb type fast enough while you walk from point A to point B. This is a life saver.

>>105667950
Why I would be typing while walking?
I will be sitting next to a rack or remoting, doesn't seem that useful for the IT crowd

>>105667975
Sometimes I need to ssh into a server when I'm /out/. Having a keyboard on a tram makes a huge difference.

>>105667995
I could do that already with my phone

>>105668028
But can you work on fixing an excel spreadsheet on a phone without suffering and being extra slow?

keyboard > touchscreen

>>105668081
Why would I need to fix an excel spreadsheet while I'm mobile? I'm talking about pure IT crowd stuff here. And even then yes, I have a personal excel file for spending I keep that I update on my phone pretty easily.

>>105668089
I'm a mobile IT company. I move between clients, ok? Try running GIMP on your android shitbox.

>>105668112
How many times will you try to move the goal post?
Needing gimp, for IT related stuff? Bullshit, just stop posting.

>>105668122
There are many x86 programs that I need. Androids and Iphones are toys.

>>105668128
That's why besides the point, I can RDP to any windows terminal I want from my phone if I need x86 software on the go

>>105668137
But can you do any actual work with this tiny screen and no keyboard?

>>105668152
Must be a pretty pathetic life if your job requires you to work when you're walking between buildings. Do you work through your lunch breaks too?

>>105664457 (OP)
>Designed for IT Professionals
>Intel Processor N250
>Windows 11 Pro Pre-Installed
lol lmao even

>>105664457 (OP)
>$1k
Wasn't the first one like $300 USD?

>>105668898
It's a dummy price. The launch is next month. Retards.

Another one of those unihertz scams where they sell shit phones, go silent and website is several years dated then come back out of nowhere with a new fucked up revision? BTFO poorfag phone user stop buying this foreign tech.

sorry i already have an eepc from 2006

>>105669005
>This fool doesn't know about GPD.

>>105669042
what's there to know about GPD other than shitty customer support and unreliable products?

>>105669042
i do know abouyt GPD it announced once many years ago and failed from funding but still did it and was overpriced and no one ended up buying it.

This is a dra/g/on maids thread discussing maid computers

>>105669147
And then they somehow won with a rich line of quality products.

>>105664457 (OP)
>new overpriced e-waste announced
omg I'm sójfacing irl as I write this!

What do people actually use these for?

>>105670032
I use it for everything when I have to walk from the office to the tram station. Also very useful in the server room as it takes no space.

>>105665077
Then why are you even on this thread?

>>105666511
If you don't understand a product, high chance it's not made for you.

>>105668180
Can't you just agree to disagree? This company caters to a market not served by the big guys.
Just like in the pre-Steam Deck era where no big boys were making handheld gaming pc-based consoles.

>>105670127
SyeamDeck has no physical keyboard so they can go to chuj.

Finally a micropc for all the men with micropenises

>>105664849
Yes? Are (You) not?

>>105665851
iPad Mini.

>>105672372
an enlarged phone is not a replacement for a laptop, anon
