Picked this up today. It's one of those super cheap "netbooks" from circa 2012. It runs Windows CE 7 on it, though other models ran Android 2.2. Kinda wanted to play around with a CE laptop.

Uses a WM8650 chipset (which is a good search term to find info on these), which is an ARM processor running at 800MHz.

Didn't come with a PSU and it's kinda an annoyingly small barrel jack that I'm trying to find an adapter to hack up.

And it works! I couldn't find an adapter in my box thatd fit the tiny jack (possibly 1.7x4.0mm) but I wanted to try it. So I powered it through the battery contacts for a test. Even connected fine to the wifi with WPA2 psk.

@ChartreuseK Wow, this is fascinating, I didn't think any consumer devices still used Embedded Compact after 2007 or so. I'd be interested to see what backward compat is like on it, if it'd run, say, a StrongARM build of Pocket Quake or similar.
