New pocket-sized computer as small as a standard gift card

Gaming fans will be excited at the launch of a new retro computer from a Sinclair.
However, instead of 80s tech pioneer Sir Clive, the new device is the brainchild of his nephew Grant Sinclair.
He has unveiled GamerCard—a pocket-sized gaming device the size of a standard gift card.
Inspired by spotting gift cards on sale in WHSmith, Sinclair designed GamerCard to bring computing and gaming to the masses in a familiar, portable form.
Built on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, it features a sharp 4-inch display, tactile controls, and comes preloaded with two full arcade titles previously released for Nintendo Switch.
GamerCard can also emulate thousands of classic games and supports programming, making it ideal for coding beginners as well as retro fans.
Its slim, tough build uses a novel PCB construction, eliminating bulky cases and excess waste.
Weighing just 100 grams, it promises instant gaming anywhere, with no setup or packaging.
Sinclair hopes to see GamerCard in shops nationwide soon, with the device available now for £125 from his website.
