So was looking around to try get a better PC and came across this (I have no intention of buying it) but was wondering if anyone has ever seen a PC like this?

Looks weird…
Would never buy such a thing.
Interesting find, thanks for sharing.
I remember this. It was for VR stuff.
Specs kind of nice, not sure of price tag.
If you think specs is good for money, and you low on budget - why not?
I am just looking for something simple, if something went wrong with it after warrenty I would be screwed, the last PC I got from them was a great deal but the PSU died and to replace in my area it is cheaper to buy another re-furbished one.
If you do not know how to hack this thing - it is not average Joe consumer purchase for sure.
Manufactorer warranty on it run off like 8 years ago ![]()
Yer ACT has their own warranty on stuff but I know little when it comes to hardware hey, I know enough to look up and find what is wrong but not fix and something like this would just do my head in and just realised my cat would probaly do some damage to it too.
"Untether from reality
The light, comfortable backpack design and hot swappable batteries provide unrestricted freedom within your immersive experience. Work, demonstrate, or train people with VR without getting tangled up in cords."
No thanks!
Yer I don’t even like 3d movies let alone vr, it just makes my mind spin real bad
First time seeing it. Not for my use case though. I prefer mini pc form.
Its great for wifu simulator ![]()
Yer I prefer a tower, got a mini now (was free so bonus) but don’t like how limited it is for hardware upgrades, like I would love to throw my RAM and hard drive from the one with a broken PSU but since it ain’t plug and play it is beyond me.
Thinking of getting 1 of thos 280 buck laptops though as I can see myself using it even if I buy something else after and it is still a lot better than my current specs
Feel free to throw any PC hardware questions my way @smokey, I can help you out with options in the Aussie market. I’ve been building PC’s for decades.
Nope first time seeing this. A VR portable computing machine. Which can double as a desk workstation. Nice would be great to watch YouTube Videos.

Nice, I will have a look through what I have here over the next few days if I’m up to it, went to a mental health appointment today and yer can barely sit up now after the 30 minute walk. I know for sure there is a tower - the hdd and a chromebook for sure with a broken screen. And if I find a replacment for this it will be up for grabs too.
That looks like something ARIatHOME caries around but I think his is self made and a bit bigger.
Maybe but they have a few so not sure, have a feeling some place bought them then realised this was not the future lol
I can’t afford it but I want it, would probably sit on a shelf but this is cool as a mobster in a freezer
wow that website is uniquely bad.
It is but if you call them they have quite good service and can answer questions you may have reasonably- I can’t even load it right now cos my internet speed too slow
