Alternative devices while waiting for the uConsole

We can post all the non-commercial alternatives to the uConsole here.

Found this, kind a neat, looks like everything is opensourced too.

Used to have a real computer that had a shell like that, the Sony Vaio UX-390N. Sadly its screen died while in my pocket at work one day (really big pockets) and i didnt have the skill or money to replace the parts at the time. Was quite nice to have a Windows XP computer that portable back when my cellphone was still a dumb flip phone. It was a super slow Intel Core Solo with 1gb ram and 32 whole gb of SSD. Just fast enough to play super old or low end WIndows games while on lunch break. Bought it for like $300 from a local pawn shop while i was in high school.

Yeah had a vaio too, it had a weird aspect ratio and a 3g modem, nice trip down memory lane :blush:.

Let’s try to stay on topic tho and keep posting handled computers like those above.

It’s kinda like eyes candy to me :heart_eyes:
