Modular PC Handtop Review

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the put-it-in-my-pocket-and-take-it-home-with-me dept.

captainJam writes "The Modular PC (MPC) is a device with a simple concept centering around one 'core' that can be used in a variety of 'shells'. While the use of any laptop, tablet or desktop is immediately limited by the design of its components, the MPC can expand on its functionality with the introduction of new shells to house the core which contains the CPU, GPU, etc. Handtops.com has a review of the device and touches on its strengths and weaknesses. Overall, it is a great concept and decently executed, but the price will be prohibitive for most."

    When using your Modular PC Handtop device at the campgrounds, always practice safety. Surround your Modular PC with rocks to keep the fire from spreading. Be sure when you're done with your MPC to put it out with a bucket of water and make sure it has stopped smoking before you leave the area.

    Remember what Smokey the Bear says. Only you can prevent your Modular PC Handtop from starting a forest fire.

    ...modular game console with easily upgradable parts.

    I'd like to be able to replace crap like the DVD player when it acts up, or allow developers to
    throw in some cutting edge games without buying a whole new machine

    I've heard of such a device. I think it's called a PC. Can't find any info on it, though. Anyone know anything about "PC's"?
