[@protocetid]

Speaking of low cost and energy efficient computers, I've been wondering what a handheld PC designed with those in mind would look like. Intel is still making super low TDP Atoms, could they allow for a cheap and small gaming handheld? I can’t tell performance off specs alone. Need me some gaming benchmarks and there are like none for the newest Atoms on KZbin. This type of handheld PC could even have potential as an easy and inexpensive way to get into PC gaming (and serious gaming in general), specially for children. I'm not under any illusion that this would play the latest big budget games, I know better. And so should potential buyers, gamers sometimes have a hard time remembering how many old AAA and indies games exist. A handheld PC with very low energy consumption also interests me because it could be small and pocketable, something that isn’t made anymore.

[@TeamPandory]

Hey there 👋 Regarding the tdp, raising it only really has an effect when both CPU and GPU are getting maxed out (benchmarking), but the raised temps make it pointless as then we're giving it a higher chance to thermal throttle. Yes it's better than the n95, especially for PS2 and in most cases for regular games. Those starwars games are just odd and require more resources than they should, battlefield should be fine though.

I purchased the 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD version, but both components turned out to be from some off-brand Chinese manufacturer. When I left a review on the official product page, it wasn't approved, yet reviews with photos showing LEXAR-branded components were accepted. This feels shady. Returning the units would be too much of a hassle. Lesson learned: stick with reputable brands that have a reputation to protect, not these fly-by-night whitebox resellers. I am posting this on everything i can find related to GMKtec NucBox G3.

[@TeamPandory]

If it's on their own website, obviously if one is unnecessarily slamming their products, they should have overall control of what is shown to the public. This would stop competitors from sabotaging their business. They're trying to sell a product, and companies would act similarly. If you're using Amazon, you'd have a lot more control as a customer, but you'd be paying for the privilege - and also, the ease of returns. Did you actually write a review on the G5 and performance of it, or of the reaction of "it's not a lexar" - as other reviews on their site show them having masonsemi SSD in early Aug 2024. In a recent review of the gmktec M6, we noticed they had it with a 'off brand' SSD. They told us that SSD and memory depends on their supply. This would explain the differences.

The price increased already?

[@TeamPandory]

No, it'll be $99.99 with the coupon code "PandoryG3" until November 8th. The code should be good for 50 uses.

[@rilkeda]

Silly me. I thought the coupon automatically applied through your link.

At 7:41 how to make FPS show like that?

[@TeamPandory]

In batocera, you can click it on in the main menu. Show the performance overlay.

[@thaigamecenter1530]

@@TeamPandory It's won't show up at main page of batocrea .Normally i press start>system>frontend>show fps but never meet performance overlay before.Can you guide me to right dirrection.Thanks

[@TeamPandory]

@@thaigamecenter1530 It's in the Overlays section. I think there's also an area that has stats in the developer options too.

Team pandory they have the M9-N200 mini pc from more fine o have been waiting for this one please do a video

[@TeamPandory]

Hey there. The N200 had interested me in the past, but looking at the price, they move into the range of Ryzen territory. The cost of this unit could be elevated as other companies aren't covering the N200 (or N305) chipset We'll take a look if the price dips. If you're really in need of a review, check out the review by @Robtech . He has covered the Morefine M9 N200 on his channel.

[@TeamPandory]

Does anyone have Bluetooth gamepad Problems in batocera 38, when WiFi is turned on? After connecting my gmktec with WiFi, my Bluetooth gamepad has latency Problems. (Tried for 3 different gamepads, and for all the Same Problem) I have Input delays and Sometimes the Buttons dont Work at all. My gmktec is connected in the 2,4 and 5 GHz frequency wifi. I switched to 5 ghz-only, but unfortunatelly nothing changed at all. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@TeamPandory]

Which systems / games have you tried to emulate? If you can give more info I'll see if I can replicate your problem.

[@kadiryazici1558]

@@TeamPandory the latency Problems Start from the Moment, when I Connect my Bluetooth Controller. So already in the UI. I have the latency Problems in the whole system, so in the UI, as Well as for all emulators
