#22I like everything about it but: - the weird power cable (did they cheapen out on PD? for just 7.5W there's no need to do something like that) - the lack of exposed GPIO header (no hacking, they could have just left in unpopulated) - the bigger size (the Odroid Go Advance was just the right size) - the lack of option for a 10000 mAh battery Hopefully, the framework laptop starts a new trend of devices where you can ke…
and no integrated wireless
Less space than a Nomad.

#23I had an ODROID Advance and the buttons and sticks were so miserable that I gave it away and replaced it with a RG351V, on the same chipset and 4:3 DMG Game Boy-style layout, and the difference in actually USING it was night and day.
I wish ODROID actually just sold these as kits like they used to for folks to just install better sticks and buttons on their own if they want them, and especially if it retained some hackability. Clones offering better gaming experiences - better controls, less wonky charging, more solid cases, integrated wireless, video output - are only going to come out faster and faster.

#24This one will likely have two years of support and that's it, which is the common nature of these systems, especially made by ODROID.
It does not matter about the specs here, it's always about the games and all this is useful for is playing pirated games.
Consumers who love the Nintendo Switch are not missing out on anything here, given that they know that their Switch will be supported for longer than 2 years.

#25Looks cool but be weary of cheap controllers. There's a reason it costs Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo millions in R&D to finalise their controllers: it's hard to get right; and terrible if it's even slightly wrong. This is clearly a budget option but I'd wish budget manufacturers tried to key into existing controllers more. Slide in ports for Nintendo JoyCons, for example. Or club together to fab a common input and ergon…

#26> We will start selling and shipping the ODROID-Go Ultra in early October 2022 at a price of $111. I really hope the production will keep with the sales... I bought a miyoo mini because I heard from a friend from a friend, that it's great before it got popular, and got it for cheap... then it became popular, and it's practically impossible to get at "normal" prices, only through resellers at 2x the price.
They should auction the stuff, selling it with a fixed price but mostly not selling at all is just incredibly stupid way to distribute IMO

#27Could it be a simple solution for an ipad ssh linux server you can bring around?

Or they should just make more, after the first and second batches sold out.
