DreamPlug - PC for lovers of miniature gadgets



In principle, there are already quite a lot of small and very small computers in the world, which, despite their size, are comparable in functionality to the “big brother”. Modern technology does allow miniaturization of virtually any device, if necessary. The company Globalscale Technologies has created a really cool gadget, with sizes that many fans of miniature devices will like: 110 * 69.5 * 48.5 mm. At the same time, DreamPlug is not just a toy, its configuration is quite enough to perform most office tasks.

So, the DreamPlug configuration includes a Marvell Sheeva ARM processor with a 1.2 GHz operating frequency, 512 MB of RAM, 1 GB of internal memory (yes, there is no hard disk here, you will have to expand the memory of the device by connecting external drives). There are also wireless modules Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, there is a slot for SD memory cards. In addition, the kid boasts USB 2.0 connectors, Ethernet, eSATA 2.0. Understandably, a discrete video adapter did not fit here, so manufacturers decided to do with an integrated solution. But it is enough to display the image in good quality - 720p HD.

By the way, the baby comes with an already pre-installed OS. The choice is given distribution Ubuntu or Debian.

In general, such a device can perform many purposes - from working as an office PC, to working as the center of a smart home system. According to the developers, the DreamPlug can work both as a security center and as a small server.





The baby is also not very much - only 150 dollars. It seems that such an inexpensive and functional computer can really become popular among completely different categories of users.
