DIY 32:9 Ultrawide Handheld PC Demoed, Hardware Claims Questioned

Journalists treat the device as a proof of concept pending independent verification of its claimed specs.

Overview

  • Creator PureDIY posted videos of a Windows handheld featuring a 32:9 ultrawide display, detachable controllers, a touchscreen and a kickstand.
  • Images show the custom unit stretching to nearly a foot in length, longer than a car’s rearview mirror and the maker’s forearm.
  • The project is described as running AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme, but PCWorld flags the chip’s rarity and raises doubts about the video’s authenticity.
  • Racing titles were showcased, with Tom’s Hardware noting an apparent 60 fps cap in one clip and roughly 45–55 fps in another based on visible overlays.
  • Reports cite portability, ventilation and limited 32:9 game support as key obstacles, and note that the internals and performance have not been independently confirmed.
