Most popular Liliputing articles of 2019 (by page views)
As the year draws to a close, it’s time to return to our irregular series — the most popular Liliputing articles of the year. Unsurprisingly, Amazon Fire tablet hacking continues to earn a place in the top 10 most viewed articles of the year. With prices starting as low as $50 on most days (and […]
Pour one out for Windows 10 Mobile as it reaches end of support
Microsoft’s next smartphone is expected to ship next year, and when it does, the Microsoft Surface Duo will be running Google’s Android operating system. That’s a shift from the company’s earlier strategy — Microsoft used to make its own smartphone operating systems. But over the past decade the market share for Windows phones has diminished […]
LattePanda Delta single-board PC with Intel Gemini Lake now available for $188 and up ($228 with Windows 10)
LattePanda’s single-board computers fit loosely into the same category as Raspberry Pi’s tiny PCs aimed at educators, students, makers, and other enthusiasts. But LattePanda’s mini PCs pack a lot more horsepower and app compatibility than most single-board computers. That’s because they feature Intel x86 processors rather than ARM chips. But that hardware comes at a […]
DIY laptop made from an Intel NUC mini desktop with AMD graphics (video)
Intel’s NUC line of computers are compact PCs designed to take up a lot less space than a typical desktop computer… but due to their small size, they typically have the kind of hardware you’d expect from a laptop. So maybe it’s not surprising that someone decided to build a DIY laptop powered by an […]
Lilbits 377: Signs don’t look so good for Gemini
Remember that GST Gemini dual-screen laptop crowdfunding campaign I told you about the other day? Indiegogo has put it “under review,” and stopped accepting contributions. It’s unclear at the moment if this has anything to do with the product itself, the name (it’s hardly the first “Gemini” device to show up at Indiegogo), or something […]
Lilbits 373: Huawei gets (some sort of) a reprieve
After placing Huawei on an “Entity List” earlier this year and prohibiting US companies from selling products to the Chinese electronics giant, the Trump administration is easing restrictions… or something. After meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping a few weeks ago, US president Donald Trump announced the US would “remove some curbs on Huawei” and […]
Sure, why not run Windows 10 on a Nintendo Switch?
Over the past few months we’ve seen developers port Windows 10 to run on smartphones and Raspberry Pi computers. So what’s next? The Nintendo Switch, apparently. Over the weekend, Ben Imbushuo posted a couple of pictures to Twitter showing the progress he’s made getting Microsoft’s desktop operating system to run on Nintendo’s hybrid handheld/living room […]
This DIY Computer Mouse is a computer… in a mouse
Folks have been shoving Raspberry Pi mini computers into small spaces for years, creating DIY handheld PCs, computers-in-keyboards, and more. But Electronic Grenade’s Computer Mouse is one of the most useless/cool projects I’ve seen. He put a Raspberry Pi Zero W inside a mouse… and then added a tiny display, keyboard and battery. The Computer […]

Have an old Game Boy that’s collecting dust? Now you can turn it into a wireless PC game controller. Alex Iannuzzi designed and built a custom Game Boy cartridge that effectively turns any Game Boy into a wireless controller. There’s no hardware hacking required — just plug in the cart the same way you would a […]
Khadas Edge is a hacker-friendly single-board PC… and ecosystem (crowdfunding)
The single-board computer space has sort of blown up in the six years since Raspberry Pi released its first credit card-sized computer. Over the past year, we’ve seen a number of models powered by Rockchip’s RK3399 hexa-core processor. But the latest isn’t so much a single-board PC as an entire ecosystem of products designed around […]
Most popular Liliputing stories of 2017
This has been an interesting year in the mobile tech space. AMD launched its first truly competitive desktop processors in years, and recently the company introduced its first Ryzen Mobile chips, although there aren’t many laptops powered by them just yet. Next year things could get even more interesting as we start to see Windows […]
