Hi guys,

Here's clockworkPi's latest, the uConsole kit:

https://www.clockworkpi.com/uconsole

Comes in wifi or wifi + cellular and (4) different CPU options, 5" color display.


And they still have the large retro DevTerm:

Has 6.8" wide IPS color display (1280x480)

https://www.clockworkpi.com/home-devterm

What do you think?

Which one would you get and why?

Mark

I like the form factor of the uConsole as a portable with backlit keyboard and gaming keys but the devterm has a nice keyboard so for actual programming I think it would b much easier to use. I like that it has the retro look of an electronic word processor!

I agree with your assessment of the two devices......

Also, like the little thermal printer add-on option on the DevTerm....very retro and could be useful at times.

Very tempting to get one of these little retro bad boys....

But what is it? Stupendous! But do they rebuild old devices?

I want to have the uConsole, as it has the Blackberry style keyboard. The form factor is kind of rare one these days too.

Wow, I wish I wasn't getting hammered financially right now, I'd already have put in a preorder otherwise. That form factor is too good.
Would be nice to know how nice the keys are though.

Another great find @stingraze!

The uConsole certainly looks like a fun little device, though I'm a bit doubtful about the keyboard - Are those rubber keys? I do like their projects in general, especially all the different processor / SoM options and the fact that they'll sell just the mainboards and other parts for a few of their devices.

Haha, it wasn't me, it was ArchiMark who found it.

So it was! Apologies and credit to @ArchiMark for this one! Clearly I didn't read the thread properly...

In my defence, it is so often stingraze who finds these devices and projects...

Either way I do like ClockworkPi and how they're not afraid to come up with some seriously 'unconventional' devices. Not sure I do enough terminal stuff to get along with the DevTerm and its ultrawide screen but I love that it exists.

Apology accepted...

Agree that it is great in principle that they are making the DevTerm. Very cool looking.
