Windows 10 Mobile's Best Idea? Looking back at the debut of Continuum

Not only is the exterior retro-styled case made of LEGO, but so are the internals. Inside the rectangular LEGO PC is an AMD BC250 board that's akin to a PS5's APU. It has six Zen 2 cores, 24 RDNA 2 Compute Units (CUs), and 16GB of memory. It's able to deliver performance similar to a GTX 1660 Ti, and it's most often associated with DIY builds like this for 1080p PC gaming. Image 1 of 4 AS OkDebate6649 poin
