Micro PC with 1.2ghz processor, 1Gb ram, 160Gb hard disk. $500+
That'll run a suprising amount of games. Though not much from the last couple of years.
it has no games for it cuz it is a Open Linux OS and that console is used for.Quote:

the mirco pc looks nice but if im not wrong on the pic it is runing vista and i bet it only can run vista cuz there is no xp drivers for it so nah I hate vista
I like this quote about it on the wiki "The designers have stated that it is more powerful than any handheld video game console that existed when it was announced."
I'm going to have to pass, its a new untested product with little to know real developer input on if they are or are not going to work with the unit. That being said, with the option of running Linux on it, and its anti-brick features, expect alot of piracy going on with it, and therefore not many people jumping on board to develop games for it.
It looks nice and I can see some people having one but It's not something that you just say "Why the **** not" Putting aside that it is quite visually apealing I don't see much purpose.
does it have games? why not get a regular lap top?
What's neat about this, is, any open-source game will be able to be compiled and run on this thing. Granted; the games won't be very good, graphically, but the main objective for it is emulation; you can play any game up to PSX, so long as you have the ROM image. (Which of course, you need the original game to use legally)
So, you don't have to develop games specifically for it, per se, you can develop a game for Linux, or cross-platform, and if it and its supporting libraries are open-source, or have ARM equivalents, then you should be able to run the game on this console.
It's basically a mini-pc, with a gamepad and a touchscreen, with a good processor/graphics hardware (for its size and price). Looks good.
it honestly looks like something from the 80s. i'd rather get a netbook
