Looking at the thumbnail, I'm assuming they're using the guts from a framework laptop: https://frame.work/linux
Of course, that doesn't say anything about the display or controls, but it's a solid maybe.
I would think so given that the mainboard runs well with Linux but I'm not about everything else
Wow, this looks cool as fuck.
Thought the same thing, just wondering what the DIY kit might end up costing. I'm also curious to see what would happen if you put in one of the newer 8 core AMD mainboards that frameworks is working on
Thr 7840U is core config wise, the same as the Asus ROG Ally with the Z1 Extreme, just different clocks/binning. (Handhelds are drsigned for 10w handheld use, and 15-30w docked)
The 7840u is designed for 15-30w, but is meant for the 30w usecase. Other chinese pc handhelds like the Ayaneo Air 1s or the GPD Win 4 Pro already use the 7840u im their designs.
cool, guess that means it'll be competitive with the asus, especially when you factor in the repairability
Why wouldn't you?
This is a Linux circle jerking community, so naturally Windows bad.
Windows is bad for handheld gaming devices since it is not built to be used in such a way. There is a rumor that a handheld gaming version is on the way for Windows, but as of right now SteamOS is the only widely available mobile gaming OS available.

Why wouldn't I what?
Only initial thoughts are why in their right mind are they using windows on a handheld device
