Lilbits: Another Raspberry Pi handheld PC, encrypted RCS messaging between iOS and Android, and a foldable Logitech mouse
If I had a nickel for every time I saw a new handheld computer powered by a Raspberry Pi, I’d have… at least a few nickels. It’s an interesting idea: take a credit card-sized computer and stuff it into a compact device with a battery, touchscreen, and maybe a keyboard and you’ve got a portable Linux PC.
It’s also… a device that’s not really designed for mobile use. While Raspberry Pi […]

Lilbits: OpenAI phone, Steam Machine, and the death of Copilot for Xbox
The rising prices of memory and storage in recent months have impacted the pricing and availability of all sorts of computers and other devices. But major PC makers like Apple and Lenovo have a bit more leverage to negotiate prices than smaller players like Framework and Valve.
While Framework has been raising memory prices on an almost monthly basis, Valve has pushed back the launch of its […]

Lilbits: Pebble Time 2 smartwatch adds touchscreen app support, entry-level Pixel 11 could have less RAM than Pixel 10
Before the Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch, there was Pebble. The pioneering smartwatch brand disappeared for a while after it was acquired by Fitbit… which was later acquired by Google. But last year Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky launched a new company called Core Devices and revived the brand.
For the most part, new Pebble-branded watches are a lot like the ones that shipped a decade […]

Lilbits: Microsoft Updates… Windows Update, Valve’s new Steam Controller is almost here, and reMarkable lays off 40% of its workforce
Windows Update is one of those features that it’s easy to have a hate/hate relationship with. Sure, it’s important to install security updates, bug fixes, and performance enhancements in a timely fashion. But sometimes you don’t want to do it right now, because it takes too long for your computer to shut down or start up… if it starts up at all. It’s not unheard of for a bad update to cause […]

Lilbits: Next-gen Surface Pro & Laptop, Google’s next Pixel laptop, and goodbye Kindle for PC (kind of)
Microsoft may have just raised prices for its Surface Laptop and Surface Pro tablet, but the company is also preparing to launch new models that… will also probably be expensive. According to a new report from Windows Central, not only is Microsoft planning to use the latest Intel and Qualcomm chips, but some Surface Laptop models will also now be available with OLED displays. Oh yeah, and […]

Lilbits: Lenovo’s new gaming phone & tablets, Walmart’s new media streamers, and Microsoft Surface price hikes
Two bits of Microsoft Surface news broke this week. The company is discontinuing its large-screen Surface Hub products. And Microsoft is raising prices across the board for its current line of Surface laptops and tablets. That’s… not particularly surprising. Given the impact of rising RAM & storage costs, soon it’s going to be more newsworthy when companies don’t raise prices than when they […]

Lilbits: Lenovo teases a larger gaming tablet, OpenBSD ported to the Pomera DM250, Microsoft simplifies Windows Insider channels
Lenovo has been selling gaming tablets under the Lenovo Legion brand since 2022. But while the company has updated the processor and other key specs several times over the past four years, one thing that’s stayed the same is the screen size: 8.8 inches.
Now it looks like Lenovo is preparing to launch its first model with a larger screen.
Detailed specs aren’t available yet, but it also looks […]

Lilbits: Vertical tabs for Chrome, Mac OS 10 for the Nintendo Wii, and a CyberDeck Pi
The CyberDeck Pi is a DIY handheld computer that looks like something designed for a world where smartphones never existed. It’s a chunky device that probably won’t fit in your pocket. But it’s also a full-fledged computer that can run desktop GNU/Linux software thanks to its Raspberry Pi brains. And it’s made using a combination of off-the-shelf components and 3D-printed parts.

Lilbits: Intel Wildcat Lake specs leaked, Pixel 11 and Onn 4K Stick leaks, and would you buy a Bookshop.org eReader?
Intel’s Alder Lake-N and Twin Lake processors have been incredibly popular with makers of budget mini PCs, Chromebooks, and other entry-level computers. With up to eight 12th-gen Intel Efficiency CPU cores, these cheap, low-power chips brought big performance gains over Intel’s earlier Atom, Celeron, and Pentium Silver processors.
But they’re starting to show their age, which is why I’ve had […]

Lilbits: The Mac Pro reaches the end of the line
Apple is pulling the plug on the Mac Pro, more than 20 years after launching its first high-performance desktop computer with an iconic “cheese grater” design. The company has released several major updates over the years, but the last big change to the design came in 2019, and the last processor update came in 2023 when the company made the move from Intel to Apple Silicon.
But the newer Mac […]

Lilbits: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, Razer Blade 16, and more fallout from Chuwi’s processor mixup
Two recent laptops from Chinese PC maker Chuwi that were supposed to ship with AMD Ryzen 5 7430U processors actually had Ryzen 5 5500U chips inside. That means instead of getting a processor with a Zen 3 CPU, customers were getting notebooks with chips featuring AMD’s older Zen 2 architecture.
But the only way to prove this was to actually open up the computer and remove the CPU cooler to look […]

Lilbits: Arm’s first silicon, Chuwi’s not-quite-apology, and Pebble’s Time 2 smartwatch ships soon
Arm has just introduced a new processor for data centers. There’s nothing too unusual in that statement… except that for the first time the chip designer is actually making its own processor. The company has been licensing its designs to third party chip makers for decades, but the new Arm AGI CPU is an Arm-branded processor that Meta plans to use in data centers.

Lilbits: Anbernic’s unusual handheld, reMarkable’s next tablet, and SteamOS 3.8
Anbernic is a Chinese company that has made a lot of handheld game consoles over the years. But a short video making the rounds shows an upcoming handheld from the company that’s unlike anything else we’ve seen from Anbernic.
At first it looks like a tiny phone with a small square touchscreen display. But then the person holding it flicks the screen so that it rotates 90 degrees while it […]

Lilbits: Rabbit’s Project Cyberdexk, Apple’s MacBook Ultra, and Qualcomm’s Arduino Ventuno Q
The Rabbit R1 launched in 2024 as a handheld AI device with an unusual design featuring a bright orange case and a scroll wheel for navigation. It was widely panned by reviewers for failing to live up to its limited promise. But the company behind the device has continued to plug away at the software in an effort to make the weird little device more useful.
Now Engadget reports that Rabbit is […]

Lilbits: Epic Loves Google now, ZTE launches a 7.5 inch phone, and Chuwi’s shady laptop processor changeup
More than five years after launching an epic legal battle to challenge Google’s Play Store policies, Epic Games has reached a settlement with Google that will result in Google reducing fees and making it easier for developers to offer third-party app stores and third-party billing services for Android devices.
Shortly after I saw a Google blog post describing the changes, I also noticed that […]

Lilbits: iPad Air with M4 (and 12GB RAM), Qualcomm brings AI to smartwatches (and prepares for 6G), and Lenovo says it IS still supporting the Legion Go
Apple is holding an event on March 4th where the company is expected to introduce new MacBooks. Rumor had it that the company would also use that event to introduce the iPhone 17e and maybe some new iPads… but Apple did that today instead.
The iPhone 17e looks like a solid mid-range smartphone with the same processor as the iPhone 17, but a less impressive camera and display. And the new […]

Lilbits: Zinwa’s Android-powered BlackBerry Key2 clone, Razer’s laptop sleeve with wireless charging, and Android 17 Beta 2
A small Chinese team called Zinwa have been making modern BlackBerry-style smartphones in small batches for a little while… first by literally stuffing the actual shells of old BlackBerry phones with modern motherboards running Android software, and more recently by developing new phones with designs that are heavily influenced by BlackBerry.
Now Zinwa has shared a teaser for an upcoming […]

Lilbits: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display, Apple’s touchscreen MacBooks, and an overkill Raspberry Pi 5 cooler
Most modern high-end smartphones have screens with wide viewing angles, allowing you to easily see the display whether you’re directly in front of it or looking from a 178 degree angle. But the new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra offers you the option of limiting those viewing angles dramatically in order to keep folks standing nearby from seeing what’s on your screen.
This isn’t one of those cheap […]

Lilbits: Pebble smartwatches, Linux 7.0, and the uncertain future for Lenovo Legion Go graphics drivers
If you’ve got a PC that works, there’s not that much reason to worry about getting frequent driver updates unless you want to plug in some currently unsupported hardware. But if you’ve got a gaming PC, then frequent driver updates can be pretty important, as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel often tweak graphics drivers to add support for new games and improve performance for existing titles.
So a […]

Available with a battery for $27 or without one for $25, the kit could be an interesting alternative to E Ink for simple signage or other applications. There are also […]

Now the company has started teasing an impending launch, promising to deliver a little computer with support for up to four displays, dual 2.5 Gigabit network ports, and AI capabilities, among other things.
One thing to know is that these little computers will not feature […]

The lines between Android and ChromeOS have gotten blurry over the years.

The Google Pixel Tablet launched in mid-2023 as an Android tablet that you could also use as a smart display when paired with a speaker dock. With an 11 inch, 2.5K display, stylus support, and the same Google Tensor G2 processor used in the Pixel 7 smartphone lineup, it could have paved the way for things to come.
But Google hasn’t released a new model in more than two and a half years. And […]

Lilbits: Android for desktop PCs leaks, as does NVIDIA’s processors for laptops
Google has made it pretty clear that it’s working on bringing a desktop mode to Android, effectively blurring the lines between Android and ChromeOS (and maybe eventually phasing out the latter). But most of the work on that project has been taking place behind closed doors.
A recent bug report in the Chromium bug tracker provided an early look though. While the web page has been removed, the […]

Lilbits: If you’re not paying for it, you’re not the customer
Folks have been making a rather persuasive argument for decades that if you watch “free” TV that’s supported by advertising, maybe you’re not actually the customer… advertisers are. And you’re the product they’re paying to reach.
So it was probably just a matter of time before someone took that to the next level and decided that not only should TV programs be free to watch, the TV hardware […]

Lilbits: Samsung’s Ballie Robot isn’t rolling out anytime soon, Bose open sources APIs for wireless speakers ahead of cloud service shutdown, and a pocket-sized AI lab, and
Bose announced in October that it would soon be ending cloud services for its SoundTouch WiFi speakers. The original plan would have basically turned them into little more than Bluetooth speakers. But responding to feedback, Bose has modified its plans a bit.
First, the cloud features will end on May 6 rather than Feb 18 to help ease the transition. Second, in addition to Bluetooth and aux […]

Lilbits: WiFi 8 hardware is coming this year, LEGO introduces SMART Brick system, and Intel could make handheld-specific Panther Lake chips
CES 2026 appears to be the coming out party for WiFi 8 hardware… which is kind of weird because the WiFi 8 specification isn’t expected to be finalized for a few more years. But it’s not unusual to see companies start to release hardware for a work-in-progress version of the WiFi standard. What is a little unusual is how quickly this is coming after the launch of WiFi 7.
I don’t know about […]

Lilbits: UnifyDrive UP6 goes up for pre-order (portable, pricey NAS), GOG spins off from CD PROJEKT, and a 1080 Hz gaming monitor
Earlier this year UnifyDrive introduced a portable computer that’s designed to be a network attached storge (NAS) device you can use anywhere. The UP6 is basically a purpose-built mini PC with an Intel Core Ultra 125H processor, support for up to 96GB of RAM, up to 48TB of storage, a touchscreen display, and a battery.
Nearly a year later, you can now pre-order one. But with a $1599 price tag […]

Lilbits: Samsung Exynos 2600, Lenovo Legion Go 2 with SteamOS and a mini ITX board with up to 256GB RAM
Chinese PC maker Masxun Technology recently introduced a bunch of new motherboards, and one of the most interesting is a mini ITX board that crams four DIMM slots into a compact design, enabling support for up to 256GB of total DDR5 memory.
The timing… could be better. Equipping the board with four sticks of 64GB DDR5 memory could easily set you back $2500 or more at the moment. But you […]

Lilbits: World’s smallest ESP32 dev board, GMK’s first Panther Lake mini PC, and XBMC 4.0 for the actual Xbox
Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine is a cross between a mini PC and a game console. And while the nearly cube-shaped device has a pretty basic design, it’s also made to be customizable: Valve demonstrated a couple of swappable face plates when the company unveiled the Steam Machine and now third-party companies are starting to tease accessories.
Meanwhile an independent developer has designed an […]

Lilbits: A new modular PC input device, Google brings even more AI to Pixel phones, Apple’s $230 knit iPhone holder
Over the past few years I’ve seen a couple of different widescreen touchscreen displays that are designed to be used as both a second screen and an input device for a computer. But the UltraBar X stands out for its unusual, modular design.
At its most basic, this device is just another 7 inch ultrawide touchscreen display that connects to a computer. But that’s just the core module. There are […]

Lilbits: Atari and Intellivision made a retro console (kind of), Google’s Privacy Sandbox is gone for good, and Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Select with Vega OS is a lot more locked down
Atari and Intellivision have a few things in common. They were two of the first big players in the home video game console space. And neither brand is what it once was anymore.
So while it’s intriguing to see that Atari is launching a new retro console called the Intellivision Sprint, this is really a partnership between the company that now owns the rights to the Atari name and retro game […]

Lilbits: Intel shifts strategy on open source contributions, Ubuntu 25.10 released, and TiVo exits the DVR business
Intel has been a major contributor to open source projects over the years, but the thing about open source software is that anybody can use it – including the company’s competitors. Now Intel says it plans to be more strategic about how it contributes to open source projects moving forward as part of an effort to make sure that it’s benefiting more than its competitors.
The response from open […]

Starting on October 22nd Android users in the US might be able to download third-party app stores from the Google Play Store, or find apps in the store that direct users to third-party billing systems rather than Google Pay.
While Google has appealed a court ruling from this summer, the Supreme Court denied the company’s motion for a temporary stay while the appeals process moves ahead. For […]

But one hardware hacker has been working on a custom mainboard, display, and other components that transforms a LEGO Game Boy from a model into a playable game system. It’s still a […]

Lilbits: Intel chips with NVIDIA GPU chiplets and GPD Win 5 performance previews (AMD Strix Halo in a handheld)
Intel has made some big investments in GPUs in recent years, and while the company hasn’t exactly become a major player in the desktop graphics space, it’s made big strides in the performance of the integrated GPUs that are part of Intel’s latest mobile chips. But that doesn’t mean there’s not room for better performance.
So it’s interesting to see that while Intel plans to continue […]
