    This is cool but it tries to be two things and doesn’t look great at either.

    There are Pi Laptop cases that are more practical and aren’t as risky as a Kickstarter.

    And there’s plenty of (dramatically cheaper) Linux retro styled pocket games out there.

      Linux retro style handhelds? Could you tell me where to find them?

      Was really interested in the Pilet until I figured out the Pi doesn’t come with it at that price…

        The R36S is a “dirt cheap” Linux retrohandheld you can get pretty much everywhere. No built-in WiFi though, which limits usability quite a lot.

          I got my daughters that an I regret it… Should have brought it for myself…

          Now jodes aside. Is incredible for the price.

            My biggest complaint is that their complimentary ROM collection doesn’t have any of the Patapon games. I put mine in and now it’s perfect :D
