   5 A friend of mine made me aware of
   6 <a href="https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pyra/">The Pyra</a>, a
   7 handheld computer which will be delivered with Debian preinstalled.  I
   8 would love to get one of those for my birthday. :)</p>

  10 <p>The machine is a complete ARM-based PC with micro HDMI, SATA, USB
  11 plugs and many others connectors, and include a full keyboard and a 5"
  12 LCD touch screen.  The 6000mAh battery is claimed to provide a whole
  13 day of battery life time, but I have not seen any independent tests
  14 confirming this.  The vendor is still collecting preorders, and the
  15 last I heard last night was that 22 more orders were needed before
  16 production started.</p>

  18 <p>As far as I know, this is the first handheld preinstalled with
  19 Debian.  Please let me know if you know of any others.  Is it the
  20 first computer being sold with Debian preinstalled?</p>
