Lilbits: another AMD portable gaming PC, the Volla Phone 22 (with Android or Ubuntu) and the Asus Tinker Edge R single board computer
The ONEXPLAYER Mini is a portable gaming PC with a 7-inch screen, integrated game controllers and a choice of processors – a model with an 11th Gen Intel processor launched in January and a new model with a 12th Intel chip generation is coming soon. Last month, One Netbook showed off a version with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U processor, but it was only available in China at launch. This week it is for sale worldwide. Pricing has yet to be revealed, however.
In other recent tech news on the web, Valve says it’s speeding up Steam Deck shipments, Google is cracking down on apps that let you make in-app purchases for things like e-books without using Google Play billing ( some app makers are therefore ditching in-app purchases altogether), there’s a new Asus Tinker Edge R single-board computer model that’s (slightly) cheaper, and phone maker Volla has a new model coming that will be able to run Android-based Volla OS or Linux-based Ubuntu Touch software.
After launching in China in March, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800U version of the ONEXPLAYER Mini will launch globally on April 7th. It’s a portable gaming PC with a 7-inch screen surrounded by game controllers, 16GB of RAM, and up to 2TB of storage. https://t.co/B9sSdLRfMt
