I thought the Pi 2 was .9GHz? Does it overclock nicely? I would expect a 2xA15 to outrun a 4xA7 for most 'smartphone-type' use, regardless of clockspeed, but to me the real reason for the Pyra is its 720p screen, inbuilt connectivity, and keyboard - or at least, I have its predecessor the OpenPandora and the keyboard on that absolutely demolishes every phone and mini-bluetooth keyboard I've tried, including my much-loved and now lost Blackberry 8700. You don't understand thumbboard typing until you've tried it with shoulder buttons as modifier keys.
That an it's got an actual fscking dpad. It's always boggled me that no one will put a real dpad on any of their devices, especially now that so many of us who grew up navigating Final Fantasy with one have grown up and got EE and design degrees...Blackberry had an excuse when they were doing the jogwheel thing, but even they've dropped that now. -Leander On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 7:04 PM, Nat Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > Reminds me of this: > http://makezine.com/projects/build-raspberry-pi-powered-linux-laptop-that-fits-your-pocket/ > > I wonder if a quad 1.2ghz processor is faster than a dual 1.5?
