alt Hacker NewsIs there any dumb LCD console like that available these days for kids? (not those retro gaming consoles). I want to buy one for my kids. It looks so good, specially because it is a dumb and simple device.
I found Pixter online but are there a little bit more capable systems like this for kids made today?
EDIT: Looks like devices by LeapFrog and VTech are the closest alternative these days so far.

Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but the playdate is pretty neat.
No, but realistically it wouldn't be hard to make something with a Pi and a touch screen of some kind
What are you looking for them to be able to do? I feel like everything these days is just some form of an iPad
Pimoroni Presto (https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/presto) + some firmware you can write for fun :)
Nobody makes stuff like this anymore. You can vibecode your own using an Arduino and a pixel LCD.
