#micropc — Public Fediverse posts

I'm very happy to announce that thanks to a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, I have in my hands a FriendlyElec NanoPi M6 - in this configuration, a tiny fanless desktop #microPC based on the Rockchip RK3588S processor.

I've had my eye on this device to fill the role of ultraportable desktop PC, especially in the event my laptop ever breaks or is lost/stolen, which would instantly render me unable to work if I didn't have a backup.

because of this generous gift, I'll be able to put the #NanoPi M6 to the test, and answer my top-of-line question: just how usable is this device as a light-duty desktop PC running Linux right now, in 2026? how well is the hardware supported? will I have problems getting work done?

I'm looking forward to having answers to all that and more. be sure to keep an eye on the Peertube channel @surfhosting.cc in the coming weeks and months ... and thank you so much to my donor, you know who you are!

No eMMC in this one and I swapped the 512 GB SSD for a 2 TB one. I think the N100 version did have eMMC, the N150 does not AFAIK.

As expected it does get pretty hot when in use, so I 3D-printed a cooling tower for use at home where I do have the room.

I use it mobile too, that's what I bought it for. There I don't bring the Tower because what's the point of having a Micro PC and weighing it down. I always place it upright as pictured though, because both sides get really warm.

Sure, it's only a lowly Intel N150. But its black, cubic and has no fans. I think #Steve would agree. #Stanley probably too!

GPD MicroPC 2 hits Indiegogo for $495: Handheld computer with Intel N250 processor and a QWERTY keyboard

The GPD MicroPC 2 is a little computer that looks a lot like a laptop, but it’s designed to be used more like a palmtop. Hold it in  two hands and you can reach your thumbs across the QWERTY keyboard for 2-finger typing. But you can also twist the 7 inch FHD touchscreen display and fold it down over the keyboard for use in tablet mode.

First unveiled earlier this month, the little computer […]

Update: The GPD MicroPC 2 hits crowdfunding soon for $495 and up. The handheld PC has a 7 inch display, an Intel N250 Alder Lake-N processor, a keyboard and touchpad for thumb typing, and plenty of ports. https://liliputing.com/gpd-micropc-2-is-portable-computer-with-a-7-inch-display-intel-n250-processor-and-a-thumb-keyboard/ #GPDMicroPC2 #GPD #MicroPC #HandheldComputer

GPD MicroPC 2 is portable computer with a 7 inch display, Intel N250 processor and a thumb keyboard

Six years after releasing the original GPD MicroPC as a palm-sized computer aimed at IT professionals, GPD is bringing back the form factor with a new model sporting a bigger screen, faster processor, and more storage.

After unveiling the new GPD MicroPC 2 in June, GPD has now posted a preview for an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign set to begin on July 10th. Backers will be able to reserve […]

ISA и другие legacy-интерфейсы в современных встраиваемых компьютерах

Несмотря на постоянное увеличение скорости и пропускной способности интерфейсов передачи данных, до сих пор в некоторых областях промышленности востребованы интерфейсы, разработанные еще в 80-е годы XX века. Связано это прежде всего с тем, что к некоторым промышленные объекты и устройствам предъявляются требования по доступности и непрерывной работе в течение десятков лет после ввода в эксплуатацию. Примерами таких шин являются: ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) и VME (Versa Module Eurocard). Шина VME, стандартизированная в 1981 году, служит ярким примером востребованности технологий, разработанных в предыдущие годы. Основное назначение данной шины - использование в сложных системах, таких как промышленные контроллеры, системы обработки данных и встраиваемые решения. Шина VME по-прежнему используется в специализированных областях, таких как аэрокосмическая и оборонная промышленность, где требуется высокая надежность и производительность. VME дала основу для развития и появления новых современных стандартов последовательных шин, таких как VITA 46 (VPX) и VITA 65 (OpenVPX), параллельно оставаясь востребованной на рынке.
