The AYA Neo NEXT Lite features a 7 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display rather than a 1080p or higher resolution screen. And it ships with a Linux-based operating system based on SteamOS.

Boiling Steam ☛ Portal: Revolution, A Great New Mod for Portal 2, Now Playable on Steam
Portal Revolution, developed and published by Second Face Software, is a self-sufficient mod of Portal 2 (as in you do not need to have Portal 2 installed to play), it adds new challenges mechanics, several new puzzles, and an interesting story set between Portal 1 and 2 supported by talented voice acting. All of it for free, and to play you need to have Portal 2 in your account (get it with a 90% off discount when on sale). The game is a first person 3D puzzle platform that puts the player in the role of a test subject, who needs to find a way to the exit of several test chambers to progress in the game. To leave each chamber, you have to solve puzzles that start with a simple press of a button and keep those buttons pressed with the help of some cubes. Those controllers can unlock doors, enable tractor beams, lasers, light bridges, and manipulate the route of pipes and orientation of other elements of the scenery. There are also paint-like gels that alter player movement or allow portals to be placed on any surface depending on their colour. Lastly and most important, the portal gun, that enables you to place up to 2 portals so you can teleport between them and traverse to places otherwise impossible to reach.
