GPD WIN

Pity this thing doesn't have LTE, given that with the CU, it could also actually have been a phone as well as a mini-ultrabook.

Anyone got one of these?

Imagine that, holding a tiny laptop to your ear. I bet the Chinese will come out with that eventually

I'm actually a little bummed this doesn't have LTE. Is that weird? Its 5.5 inches, and can probably run some decent games. You'd have to scale like crazy to use it for work though....

Also - thank god Chinese folk love Windows.

I find it fascinating.

A bit cramped... I'd be back to thumb typing I think.

Me too - I really wanna play with one. I've heard people talking about them on some of the Chinese tablet forums.

Definitely a bit cramped. But I make do on a blackberry, so kind of depends on the keydesign how useful it is for typing.

Turns out it was a crowdfunded thing:

AND there's more in the works from other people, that will also likely get funded. This whole portable windows gaming is pretty popular. Like, this, this seems to be funded:

Comes with LTE connectivity, but it's a bit big to be using as a phone.

Why isn't Microsoft getting in on portable gaming?

So... now that I am seeing stuff like this, I think I'll echo the question?
