A Raspberry Pi CM5-powered handheld with a 10,000mAh battery, TrackPoint, and tactile keyboard is preparing for launch. Its open-source pitch sounds familiar, but the execution might not be.

    The company’s website is currently collecting email signups for early-bird pricing. Pricing has not been announced. Neither have display resolution, exact dimensions, weight, or the availability of expansion ports.

    So all we know is that some company wants to sell something at some point in the future.

    This article feels like it was written by ai and this product, while cute, is almost completely useless.

    A portable keyboard and a Steamdeck are a better choice.

    This way I can play Halo while deploying or when the Sales Dude complains about the website.

      Steam Deck is a really under appreciated Linux machine in my opinion.

        It’s an amazing device. Playing games, then watching movies from my home server on the plane when I travel, then plugging in a keyboard mouse and monitor and using it as my sole work machine at the remote office.

        The desktop environment is solid, everything is there that I need.

        ALSO: International travel, it basically gets ignored as anything more than a game machine.

    It would probably make a good terminal if it had an RS-232 serial port. The CM5 would be overkill for that. A Pi Zero would be sufficient and a lot less power hungry.

    There’s no way I’m going to be doing much typing on that tiny keyboard though.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
