Not open source but I have the GPD Micro PC 2 and it’s a very similar form factor but IMO less of a toy and more a proper little laptop. It has 16gb ram, usb C fast charging etc. I use arch btw.

I wouldn’t buy this for emulation with those controls. At least not game console emulation.

Of course. I said it only because they highlighted it when it’s clearly not a priority (or even vaguely well-designed for the usage). One of the pictures included even shows it being used for Minecraft.

Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth round out the wireless connectivity, allowing it to serve equally well as a portable Linux workstation, embedded development platform, remote administration terminal, or a retro gaming handheld.

“Equally well,” my derriere.
