  Realistically, what can you use this for that’s worthwhile?

  Cool looking device though.

    You could relive booting up your computer at breakfast to get it ready to use by lunchtime.

      If it doesn’t have that hard drive crunch to remind me it hasn’t locked up than I’m not interested.

      Ew, no. Even 386 DX/40 is terrible for Doom:

      486 SX/33 is painful, you really want 486 DX2/66:

    You could play Wolfenstein?

    But realistically, I could see this being helpful if you maintain a lot of legacy gear and need to drag around something reliable to test with.

    Retro gaming?

      You’d get better performance from an emulator running in a raspberry pi inside that case.

  For anyone who loves retro PC stuff, I highly recommend LGR on YouTube. His videos are a treat to have in the background, and sometimes to even fall asleep to.

  Mmm. Chunky computers and bits.

  Much respect for the clever name of the company. I hope younger generations still know about Gulliver’s Travels

  This is pretty late, they’ve been out for months. The most recemt addition was the Pocket 8086, waiting on mine to get delivered.

    While cute, it would be false advertising for a 386.

      If the point of this thing is to bring back the best of mid-90’s PCs in a compact package, they should have picked the top consumer CPU of the era.
