Before AYA and AYN unveiled portable gaming PCs with starting prices below $300, Anbernic announced that it was working on an inexpensive Windows handheld called Win600. We still don’t know much about it, but while the company has yet to announce specs, pricing, or a release date, Anbernic has posted a video showing it has enough power to handle Nintendo Wii emulation.
Meanwhile, that AMD Mendocino chip that will be under the hood of some of the cheapest portable gaming PCs to come (and some cheap Chromebooks and Windows laptops)?

Here’s a roundup of recent tech news on the web.
