  1. I guess the 7“ #GPD #MicroPC2 which is only a little bit larger than a phone very likely is the smallest fully functional #FreeBSD device.

    WIFI is working out of the box, graphics and touch screen as well. Built-in audio not yet, have to see what needs to be done.

    Installing FreeBSD is easy, only the text console (vt) is turned 90 degrees. reviews.freebsd.org/D34221 probably would help here but when using Xorg or Wayland this isn’t a big deal.

  2. My shiny new tiny laptop, or UMPC. It's a no-name Chinese model, and it blows my old GPD Pocket (R.I.P.) away. It's so much better. It's a bit heavy though being made of milled aluminum, but it'll live in my purse anyway. I'll make some sort of video overview after I've used it for a while. #tinythings #umpc #shiny #cute

  3. UMPC возвращаются? Три прототипа, которые пытаются оживить забытый класс мини-компьютеров

    В начале 2000-х UMPC казались будущим: крохотные компьютеры, которые можно было носить в кармане и использовать как полноценный ноутбук. Но что-то не срослось — технологии не дотянули, и формат ушел в тень. Сегодня, когда на каждом шагу встречаются портативные игровые устройства вроде Steam Deck или Aya Neo, интерес к идее снова просыпается. В этой подборке разберем, что такое UMPC, зачем они вообще появились, и посмотрим на три современных прототипа — от самодельного мини-компьютера на Linux до складных клавиатур с экранами.

  5. OmniOne handheld PC has an Intel N150 processor, 5.7 inch screen, and thumb keyboard (crowdfunding)

    Nearly two decades after the rise and fall of the UMPC category, handheld computers with x86 processors are having a moment. But most modern handhelds that fit that description are made for PC gaming.

    The Hyperstrix OmniOne Pocket PC is something different. This handheld computer doesn’t have game controllers or high-performance graphics. Instead it’s positioned as more of a productivity or […]

  9. Lilbits: A new handheld Linux PC, Google opens up the Play Store (a little), Samsung’s web browser comes to PCs

    In many ways, handheld gaming PCs are the modern descendants of the UMPCs (ultra mobile PCs) from twenty years ago. But with a few exceptions, most don’t have the keyboards or long battery life that you’d want for general purpose computing.

    Fortunately for fans of handheld computing, we’ve also seen a number of DIY solutions in recent years, often built around Raspberry Pi hardware or similar […]

  10. This handheld Linux PC combines a 5.5 inch 720p LCD display with a thumb keyboard, a clamshell case, a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, an 8,000 mAh battery, and a 4G LTE modem. The design is a work in progress, but the developer eventually hopes to launch a crowdfunding campaign. reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comm

  11. @maikel Wait, if you can run aarch64 #FreeBSD on #Android without emulation then one could use an Android #smartphone as a thin layer for a #UMPC FreeBSD device?

    Hmmmmm....

  12. i am currently using my #nintendoswitch with #Linux installed (via switchroot.org/) as an #UMPC for writing, and it's such a weird, but good setup(i am using it with my split piantor keyboard).

    questions welcome!

  14. @cinimodev You're not the only one! I would also love to have an #umpc or a pocket computer with a physical keyboard... or even a #LegionGo with an extra keyboard, and #Debian & #GNOME... but would it even be compatible?! 😅

    Could #GPDPocket4 be up your alley?

  15. Der #UMPC lebt! #GPD #MicroPC2 kombiniert Mini-Laptop mit umlegbarem Display für die Daumenbedienung. Mit Intel N250, FHD-Touchscreen und vielen Anschlüssen richtet sich das 490g leichte Gerät an IT-Profis. winfuture.de/news,152181.html?

  16. Карманный монстр Пола Аллена: как мини-компьютер за $2000 потерпел крах

    В 2007 году, когда слово «смартфон» еще не было на слуху, сооснователь Microsoft представил миру компактный компьютер под названием Vulcan FlipStart размером чуть больше толстого бутерброда. Мощный, компактный, с полным «фаршем» на борту, включая VGA-выход — ну просто мечта для любого, кто разбирается в компьютерах. Или все-таки не для любого? Ответ подсказывает сама история: FlipStart продавался меньше года, и потом проект быстро свернули из-за крайне низких продаж. Давайте посмотрим, в чем была идея и почему так и не прижился «полноценный компьютер в кармане».

  18. Fun little 20 minute lunchtime experiment booting this old vgnp11z umpc with #tinycore #linux ... the umpc has a hardware fault sadly but between random shutdowns Tiny Core Linux is working well and BLAZINGLY fast which has bever been said about these old sony #umpc!

  19. Lilbits: Designing a new mainboard for an old handheld PC, Android 16 tablets could bring multitasking improvements, and Zotac’s fanless Twin Lake mini PC

    Redditor tomsek68 is working on a project that would breathe new life into an old handheld computer by replacing a broken motherboard with an old, sluggish processor with a newer board sporting a modern processor and updated features. This could be a DIY thing that only results in a few boards for a few units, but it could also head to crowdfunding if there’s enough community interest.

  20. haven't got the touch screen to work yet but so far everything else has worked right out of the box and it runs like a dream

  21. Anyone happen to have experience with both the 1st and 2ng gen Sony #VaioP? Wikipedia says there are differences, but does not go into deal. The biggest change with then 2nd gen #SonyVaioP seems to be the 16x16 trackpad, and larger battery. I'm curious what the physical changes were between the two generations. #umpc

  22. Уникальный смартфон-UMPC из нулевых: как HTC сделала устройство с двумя независимыми процессорами на борту?

    Друзья! Ни для кого не секрет что существуют смартфоны с двумя дисплеями: олды наверняка вспомнят уникальные модели от Toshiba или, например, Acer DX650, а некоторые читатели сразу же вспоминают довольно уникальный в своем роде Yota Phone. Но два дисплея это круто — а как насчет того, чтобы разместить в одном устройстве два разных процессора на разных архитектурах, где каждый работает на своей собственной операционной системе, между которыми можно переключатся нажатием лишь одной кнопки? Компания HTC когда-то сделала поистинне уникальный девайс, сочетавший в себе x86-компьютер и Windows Mobile-коммуникатор на процессоре Qualcomm, имя которому HTC Shift. Интересно, что за дичайшее устройство сделали HTC и что у него под капотом!? Тогда добро пожаловать под кат!
