That looks so distracting.

It's cool but why?

If you have to ask, it's not for you. It's for retro PC enthusiasts

I can see people wanting to use retro software, but what surprises me is this being preferable to modern hardware running old software in emulation.

Especially a laptop, because I doubt that power management is that amazing on DOS.

Maybe there is something out there for which this addresses compatibility problems, but...

I know, you make valid good points, but people who are interested in purchasing this want to run the software on bare metal.

Hi!

It's cool laptop that inspired today's small laptop. Nowadays you can buy something like that with powerful spec & smaller form

Yes, obviously. You know, I wonder how many instances of Windows 95 you can simultaneously emulate on an Android smartphone? The point is this is for retro PC enthusiasts/hobbyists. For many, emulation just isn't the same experience as running it on real hardware.

Install WordPerfect 5.1 on the Pocket386 for a more retro feel.

Ha, just yesterday I've found my Asus EEE. Sounds like a good fit for similar exercise.

Can you imagine using that in public?

It's just a planck with a screen attached to it. Could easily make your own with a pi zero and a screen and turn you can use any keyboard and will be able to call it around a bit easier than that awkward shape

So a Planck-like ortho keyboard with a miniscule screen?

The Pocket 386 gets its name from its 386 SX compatible processor, and the system should be able to run MS-DOS and Windows 95, but isn’t going to good for anything much newer than that

Or use your pocket pc capable of anything for that.

Peace?

I never thought I'd see a keyboard that has less of a spacebar then the ZX Spectrum.

Does it run NetBSD?

For anyone who loves retro PC stuff, I highly recommend LGR on YouTube. His videos are a treat to have in the background, and sometimes to even fall asleep to.

Mmm. Chunky computers and bits.

This is pretty late, they've been out for months. The most recent addition is the Pocket 8086, waiting on mine to get delivered.

It probably doesnt matter to most of you but it has an 8 bit ISA add-on board, meaning its an easy way to test era appropriate components such as Audio and video cards. Great for people more interested in vintage hardware than software.

Much respect for the clever name of the company. I hope younger generations still know about Gulliver's Travels

The way the Sophgo SG2000 chip works, you can select to use either the 1 GHz RISC-V core or the 1 GHz ARM core, but you cannot use both at the same time.

Oh thats so strange. This is a really odd chip https://milkv.io/chips/sg2000

I thought it was maybe a FPGA with a switchable personality. But I can't confirm my thought.
