Review of the GPD Gamepad Digital

Do you havea link to your review of the divoo timebox (is that spelled correctly?). I can't seem to find it...

Mehhh I prefer a proper gaming console. Interesting to see that people are still into palmtop computers

From the description >It can be purchased at one of the following links (and no, I don't get any money for these sales) I mean, considering you provided an amazon link, you could probably sign up for the amazon affiliate program, right? As long as you disclose they are referral links, I would think that it might be able to provide a couple of bucks extra, eventually. Even if they don't buy the direct product, anything else they buy would potentially count. Spec sheet shows bluetooth ready, and the USBC as an I/O, so there are those options for otherstuff. but yeah, for someone looking for the retro experience, probably not the best. Might want to go with an NVidia shield or the like :)

From what i get this thingy is based on the same platform, Bay Trail, as most of the cheap Windows tablets that popped up recently. So yeah, it has poor backward compatibility. I have an Odys Wintab 10 and trying to run Ubuntu from USB got me as far as Xorg crashing the system. These are made with Windows 10 in mind, currently, but at least they have virtualization enabled. So if all else fails, strip down Win10 so that enough is still there to run VirtualBox and run your preferred OS in that. Maybe for our 8-Bit Guy that means running an OSX variant that likes to run in VirtualBox. ;)

how is the battery life? i am thinking that that might be a great device to carry around at work for quick fixes (i work in IT at a hospital) that is provided it can be upgraded to win 10 pro and joined to a domain. I always want an OQO for that purpose but unfortunately they went out of business.

Call me old, but that thing reminds me of the Casio PB100 I used to own. Talk about tiny keyboard.

Great job as always man!

Yea I agree with Gregory; I don't think these are Win10 issues so much as hardware/driver issues with that device. It'd be nice to know what graphics chip was in it (Iris? and older Intel chip? something else?). Plus you could have added some more about the controls. Sure it's difficult to setup, but you only setup emulators once right? After that you should just be able to play; unless it loses the joystick control each time (did it?) I'd also be interested to see if Ubuntu ran on it and how well the Linux versions of those emulators ran as well. Decent video though and a good look at the hardware.
