    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    ED, Are you planning to wait until you have the units in stock before you allow the dragonbox pre-orders to finish the purchases?

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    I would expect that future x86 processors would be from the Pentium or Celeron lines (or other new line that does not exist now) since Atom is now at end-of-line. It does not make sense to speculate about using a z8700 or z8750 processor since they will be "old" and probably obsolete options by...

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    Clearly the current Pyra needs to get out there and at least turn enough profit to fund the next iteration. I am hopeful that the modular design will allow the possibility to upgrade the system at a smaller cost and shorter development time. I still think an x86 option in the future would be...

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    No argument from me here. The x86 architecture is not power-efficient which has the unfortunate side-effect of heat which makes them even less efficient and so on (vicious cycle). Regardless, there are many x86 chips that can be passively cooled if they are not running in "turbo mode" all the...

    Able to upgrade not just the speed but manufacturer of CPU?

    I know there are a lot of folks in this community that despise the thought of an x86 processor and using Windows but I think an x86 offering would be a fantastic upgrade option for the Pyra. To my knowledge there has not been a UMPC type of device that has even attempted to be scalable like the...

    GPD Win ready for preorder!

    Given that some of the normal PC software and games can be quite large, I am a bit concerned about the storage size of 64GB and only expandable by another 128GB via micro SD card... Can you check to see if larger SD cards work?

    Ability to dual-boot on the Pyra?

    I would love the ability to run Android programs!!  In particular I do like to play Hearthstone and Shadowrun Returns.  While I could just play some Android apps on my phone or tablet, it would be nice to also have the option to play Android games on the Pyra also if even just to conserve my...

    DOSBox, how have you configured it?

    I had a similar issue yesterday and changed the 01.bat file to include: CONFIG -set "aspect=true" to the :game section just before the .exe call (not sure if ordering matters). Something I was unsure about is if changing settings like this was temporary and specific to the game or if it would...

    Old Pandora sales site still active?

    I am only speculating and do not intend to make any accusations but the concern with the presence of this site is that it could be contributing to Craig's seemingly endless pre-order queue that ED is clearing.  If anyone is indeed placing orders on this site not only would Craig be getting this...

    Old Pandora sales site still active?

    I was actually looking for Pandora battery charging recalibration information on Bing and noticed it.  I thought it was odd that it had an icontrolpad URL.  Out of curiosity I was able to get all the way to the Paypal part of making an order.  I did not go any further as I did not want to...

    Conventions?

    Your presence at the Seattle Retro Gaming Expo (if you choose to be there) will probably be the deciding factor for me to go to this.  I would, of course, be sporting my own Pandora.

    A further update on preorders (18th of November 2012)

    This leaves about 1500-150 (craig upgrades) = 1350 preorders left... @150 produced/week = 9 weeks, @100 produced/week = 14 weeks, @50 produced/week =28 weeks... anywhere between 2months and 7 months to clear batch 1 still assuming the same number of 1GHz units are sold in that time... *sigh*
