also, sourcing arm socs in low quantity is incredibly difficult. I just don’t think it’s fair to write it off because of the old processor. I am confident that the first release of the Pyra will be a better device for me than the 4th revision of the GPD. they’re probably better if you’re trying to play triple-A games, but I’m not. I have no interest in any of the Gpd products. it’s not a perfect device for everyone, or even a perfect device, for that matter, but it has advantages that no other device has.

and I know not everyone’s workflow is conducive to ditching iOS android or windows, but mine is.

#DRAGONBOX FOR PC UPGRADE#

I can go on endlessly about what the Pyra can do that my phone can not, as well as the advantages of a fully open stack that you control, not to mention being able to replace or upgrade parts. CPU processing power isn’t the only factor that makes or breaks a device. I’m not sure what they’ll land on but I think the imx.8 and the rk3399 have been considered. also, people are already talking about a CPU board upgrade.

I’ve been surviving with a single core at 1,5 GHz and 1 GB ram, in a device that doesn’t fit in my pocket and only has a couple hours battery. Yes, the omap5 is painfully outdated, but it is actually an upgrade on the 10 year old atom processor in my laptop, so no complaints here. with the 4g modem I should even be able to make calls and send text messages. a laptop does, but doesn’t fit in my pocket. My phone also doesn’t have removable storage or battery, hardware keyboard, or the usual USB, HDMI etc. Rather than rooting, ROM-ing, ripping google spyware out, and trying to survive without it, and then try to beef my phone into being the Linux workstation that it was simply never cut out to be I can just have a portable, pocketable handheld Linux workstation. I can have a consistent workflow across all my devices. Coming from a free software tinkerer perspective, this is the perfect device for me. Other features include gaming controls with four shoulder buttons, six face buttons, a D-pad, and analog sticks.Ĭriticism I’ve read here is valid but seems to mostly from a gaming perspective.

There are dual SDXC card slots instead of the usual one, for example. The little computer also has a few features which are pretty distinctive even after multiple delays. It has full-sized and micro USB ports, HDMI and headset jacks, stereo speakers, dual-band 802.11n WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0.

#DRAGONBOX FOR PC 720P#

The Dragonbox Pyra will have a 5 inch, 720p display, a TI OMAP 5 dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 processor, 32GB of eMMC storage, and a choice of 2GB or 4GB of RAM.

Because the Dragonbox Pyra has been in development for a very long time, it will ship with hardware that looks pretty dated by modern standards.

The Dragonbox Pyra is more of a labor of love from developer Michael Mrozek (EvilDragon), who was formerly a member of the team that developed the Pandora handheld computer/game console.

GPD is a company with a history of producing handheld gaming devices running Android and Windows.

Nothing is glued into place, so if you open the case with a screwdriver there nothing stopping you from changing out components or making other modifications.

The Dragonbox Pyra is also designed to be hacker-friendly with replaceable and upgradeable components.

The Dragonbox Pyra is aimed at open source hardware and software enthusiasts, and the handheld PC runs GNU/Linux software.

In fact, in the time since pre-orders opened, Chinese device maker GPD has shipped the GPD Win, GPD Win 2, and GPD Pocket handheld computers and the company is now running a crowdfunding campaign for the Pocket 2.īut there are some important differences: There have been plenty since the Dragonbox Pyra was unveiled in 2014… and since it went up for pre-order in 2016.

Of course, there’s always a chance there will be delays. If all goes well, mass production could begin soon, and the Pyra could begin shipping to backers who have pre-ordered the 500 Euro device.

That means the next step is to thoroughly test the hardware for reliability and then apply for CE and FCC certification.
