Apart from its attempted rebirth as a laptop manufacturer back in 2006, we have not heard all that much from Acorn Computers earlier, oh, twenty years or so. And if you are not a UK native, there is a pretty good chance that you just didn’t hear all that much concerning the “British Apple” before then either. But while the company’s more official try to go portable was nothing to jot down home about, its late-period A7000+ desktop has now seen a successful second life by the hands of a British modder because the A7KP. The Acorn’s innards had been stuffed right into a five pound (relatively) portable setup, featuring a ten.4-inch LCD, 4GB of flash memory, and a battery that gives up three hours of RISC OS-based fun. It’s enough to make you wonder the way you ever played Lemmings on anything.
