    I'm not NA based, so to me it actually resembles an old cassette player more than anything. Mostly the Philips one we had at home when I was a kid. To be fair, that old tape muncher carries more nostalgia for me than the NES. Great design.

    As a memory validation technician, I almost spit out my coffee when you said "5600 mega 'things' per second" Marketing ALWAYS wants to call it Mhz, but It's mega transfers. Don't worry I wasn't mad. I almost spit up the coffee laughing. HIGH end Intel memory engineers just call it "speed" like "5600 speed DIMMs" I suspect because they are tired of everyone making their own units.

    @agentmith Před 2 měsíci

    For a retro PC at this price I would expect full-on retro support, like analog A/V outs, composite component SCART etc. If all it does is doing is HDMI, I don’t really get the appeal of using this instead of any other more reasonably priced SBC with a retro case. It would be a fraction of the cost and deliver the same performance. Hell I could play NES on my old Pentium 1 via Nesticle back in the day.

    @12:05 - The Ayaneo software is "entirely optional"? I doubt that. It's obviously going to be needed for the screen, the feature that sets it apart from other mini-PCs (which has the negative of meaning that you're stuck with Windows 11 - 😥 no replacing it with a Linux on this one 😥).

    • @lexlopez15
      @lexlopez15 Před 2 měsíci

      @@lexlopez15 Yes, obviously. However, you're likely to need their custom software to run the screen and its controls, therefore you are stuck with Windows 11 if you want to use the feature that is front and center of most of its promotion...

      @@ogrejd sounds like you're crying over milk that hasn't even spilled yet...linux being open sourced, it's likely that someone somewhere will figure out a way to use the embedded screen just like they have found alternatives for windows and macs since day 1...
      and if they don't, what are you really losing? Info on the computer's internal specs which you can get the same thing by docking a widget somewhere on your monitor screen? Come on dude. The little info screen is the deal breaker here?
      The little screen that you physically have to get up or bend over to look at the temp and frames counter? Do you spend more time looking at what you're actually doing on your pc monitor or your pc's internal info??
