◆ I tried using it
・ Windows version

You can see how to operate Windows 10 using GOLE1's 5-inch touch display in the following movie. As expected, it is a 5-inch size and I have to struggle to operate the Windows OS.
Since GOLE1 is a Windows machine, it is possible to attach a mouse and keyboard externally.
Using a trackball makes your work much faster than when you touch it.

I played the game app ' Idolmaster Cinderella Girls Starlight Stage (Deleste) ' that requires machine power instead of the benchmark.
You can see how to play Dereste in the '3D standard' mode, which requires the most performance, in the following movie.
When I actually played it, the video was played without delay, but the sound did not follow, so it was difficult to get the timing and I made a series of mistakes. When playing Dereste with GOLE1, it seems better to play with '3D lightweight'.
'GOLE1' is a unique terminal that can be switched to an Android 5.1 terminal while being an all-in-one PC that can carry Windows 10 in the palm of your hand and can be operated by touch. It's up to the user to use it for presentations, in-vehicle, and Android navigation. Even when using Windows 10, the battery lasts for about 2 hours, so it seems to be versatile. It can be said that it is a one-of-a-kind terminal that tickles the hearts of gadget nerds, which is ideal as a 'toy' to play around with without practical use.
