PCp feasibility example

[bicostp]

Laptops are real.

Seriously, PCPs are like mini laptops without folding screens that have game controls built in. (laptop keyboards hardly count as "game controllers")

Laptops are... well... laptops.

Laptops are, well.. for your lap.
PCps are handheld.

A PCp would ideally be much smaller, lighter, and easier to handle than a laptop. The performance, cost, and purpose of a PCp are dissimilar to those of a laptop.

Ultra-portable laptops focus on business work, gaming laptops are by no means portable, and all laptops consume a large amount of space (Volume = length x width x width) when open.

PCp's give you a sense of achievement that laptops usually don't. For instance, why build a NESp when 20 bazillion devices can emulate NES consoles with reasonable performance and compatability, and the ability to perform many other tasks?

ok, now I understand
