The obvious next step would be to put it inside the case of a Pandora.

		I already have a ZX Spectrum - well, a couple really - in my Pandora: https://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=zesarux .. incidentally, the Open Pandora runs a ton of great stuff: https://repo.openpandora.org

My grandpa kept Soviet copy of ZX Spectrum called Leningrad 1. You can read more about this thing here.

Great post overall!

2020.

Looking at that chassis I'd like to retrofit a touchpad with 3 buttons on new standard laptops.

6h?

I get that this is a hack rather than an actual product but I'd have expected something more in line with 6 days of continuous gameplay with 4 AAA batteries.

No LED torches the size of LCD backlight last 6 days. More like up to 8 hours.

This thing has a 14 inch LED screen never mind the actual computer part. How much energy do you think they can hide in a AAA battery?

		The Gameboy lasted 30h. With all the improved processes and powering off the modern peripherals when not in use, I think the computer part should draw very little current during operation. The screen may require some compromises.

Umm the next draws like 3 watts without a display. Which is still 3x less than the original zx spectrum.

I love it. I mean laptops are billed as the tool for "productivity on the go", but this thing just screams "sod all that, I want to play some JetPac on the go".

Happy SPECtober everybody!
