Are NUCs with batteries unserved market? Just thinking of them as concept. How popular would they be?
I’d much rather do that than purchase a NUC with a built-in battery. Keeping the two pieces separate makes them easier to repurpose later.
Regardless, the market for such a device is relatively small.

They’re good enough for gaming, don’t expect to do much coding. They are very good for your neck, though.
> don’t expect to do much coding. Is it because of the way they render small font?
This isn't all that different to how I use my gaming PC - it's off in another room, with a monitor that is plugged in but almost always off (I don't think Windows will boot without at least something plugged in?), Steam set to start on boot, and then I entirely use it via Steam Remote Play from my main PC.
You could get a dummy HDMI plug for $3 on Amazon and free up that monitor if you need it. [1] [1] https://www.amazon.com/BKFK-HDMI-Dummy-Plug-3840x2160/dp/B0C...
I have a Linux "home server" and I haven't found a way to boot up a graphical session with everything working (there were bugs in some applications, like menus not showing up, you couldn't change resolution, etc.).
A dummy HDMI plug fixed it, but still. It's 2025, come on.
Wtf are those glasses
I assume they get power and video both over USB-C, so they can be connected to the Steam Deck's one USB port.
Not my thing, but some people really love them.
> TL;DR Well, the Steam Deck didn’t fit in my backpack… I'm not sure if this is meant to be taken literally, but I would have just bought a bigger backpack. In some ways, I think this makes me respect the author more.
RIP GameBoy, I hope Nintendo releases an ultra small switch.

I have the Viture not the Xreals, but anyways... my experience:
I do find that there's significant optical aberration that makes text more blurry towards the edges. I also have astigmatism; not a deal-breaker but it means the built-in myopia adjustment only partially corrects my vision. I basically got contacts again just so I can use these a bit better. But it still feels less clear than a regular screen with glasses or contacts. Doable but not great for text.

Depending on your exact requirements, Raspberry Pi 5 + case + battery is a configuration that already exists.
Side question: are those glasses any good? I almost got myself a pair
