I wanted to update this with something small.

there's a new CPU I think is better suited for this... mostly because it's capable of using a desktop graphics card!

the latte panda alpha.



this thing has some pretty amazing specs.

[*]CPU：Intel 7th Gen Core m3-7y30
[*]Core：1.6-2.6GHz Dual-Core，Four-Thread
[*]Benchmark (PassMark): Up to 3500, double computing power compared with same price range products in the market
[*]Graphics：Intel HD Graphics 615, 300-900MHz
[*]RAM：8G LPDDR3 1866MHz Dual-Channel
[*]Memory：64GB eMMC V5.0l
[*]External Memory：
            1x M.2 M Key, PCIe 4x, Supports NVMe SSD and SATA SSD
            1x M.2 E Key, PCIe 2x，Supports USB2.0, UART, PCM
[*]Connectivity：
            WIFI 802.11 AC, 2.4G & 5G
            Dual Band Bluetooth 4.2
            Gigabyte Ethernet
[*]USB Ports：
            3x USB 3.0 Type A
            1x USB Type C, supports PD, DP, USB 3.0
[*]Display：
            HDMI Output
            Type-C DP Support
            Extendable eDP touch displays
[*]Co-processor：Arduino Leonardo
[*]GPIO & Other Features：2x 50p GPIOs including I2C, I2S, USB, RS232, UART, RTC，Power Management，Extendable power button，everything you need
[*]OS Support：
Windows 10 Pro
Linux Ubuntu

but the big thing is that it has double the gpio pins of a raspberry pi and has a 1x M.2 M Key, PCIe 4x, which combined with an adaptor allows you to use a pcie x4 adapter to add a desktop expansion slot which can be used for just about anythign including a GPU!

this is important because this would give it enough power for true VR capability just like fictional cyberdecks allowing you to interface with it like so.


or at least that's the goal, it's actually plausible now provided the software is setup.

long story short... you can build a laptop scale device, with a desktop graphics card, enough power supply to run it, enough interface to quite literally control anything by directly interfacing with it and bypassing it's control interface board and have enough power to interface with it using an oculus rift!

however... you might still need a pretty beefy battery pack to run it.
