Nano Arcade Pocket Genesis Consoles

Childhood memories do seem to be the ones that stick to one’s mind the most, don’t you think so? For those of you who grew up during the 1980s, I am quite sure that your soirees with the NES as well as classic PC games are deeply entrenched into your consciousness, even as you attempt to make something out of the rat race you are in right now. Well, let ThinkGeek step in to save the day by giving you the break in the form of the Nano Arcade Pocket Genesis Consoles, where depending on which model you pick, they will retail anywhere from $12.99 to $19.99.

In a nutshell, the Nano Arcade Pocket Genesis Consoles is a miniature arcade joystick that looks like a child’s toy, or even one that does not work but instead is disguised as a candy dispenser, but it offers far more than what meets the eye. All you need to do is plug and play into your TV, and you are good to go. Each of the Nano Arcade Pocket Genesis Consoles come with 10 pre-loaded games, making this a one time investment. It runs on a single AAA battery, and will feature five classic SEGA games with five bonus games thrown into the mix as well – namely, Virtua Fighter 2, Shinobi III, Golden Axe, Golden Axe III, Alien Storm, Snake, Spider, Bottle Tops, Race, Bomber, and Hexagons.

AOC 16-inch portable monitor arrives with USB 3.0 in tow

A lot of us could use a second display nowadays, but if you travel a lot and rely on your laptop to get a lot of work done, not only are you limited to a small screen, but it’s hard to take a second display around with you. However, AOC just outed a new 16-inch monitor that is powered by only a single USB 3.0 cable.

Screen Shot 2013-07-24 at 9.53.17 AM

The AOC E1659FWU, as it’s officially called aims to be the portable monitor to cater towards road warriors while still providing a large enough display to get work done. Sadly, it only has a 1366×768 resolution, which is pretty poor for a 15.6-inch viewable monitor, but we’re guessing AOC wanted to keep the price down, seeing as how it only costs $129.

At 16 inches, the monitor will be able to fit into most carrying bags, and it even comes with its own protective case, so there’s no worries about scratching the display while you’re toting it around, or worrying about having to find a cloth to wrap around it.

Screen Shot 2013-07-24 at 9.52.55 AM

Since the monitor is powered by USB, as well as used for the video transmission, there’s no battery that users will have to keep charging. The monitor only pulls seven watts of power, but you’ll have to make sure your laptop has USB 3.0 before you go out buy this new display, as it won’t work over USB 2.0.

The new display is available for pre-order right now on Amazon, but if you’re looking to save a little bit of cash, AOC also still has the previous-generation display up on Amazon, which only costs $89 and is available now. The new monitor isn’t shipping until August 5.
