A new gigabyte gaming PC fits in the palm of your hand.

I rarely play games, and if I play, then on PS Vita, which does not require special gestures to start the game. But from time to time I meet information about gaming devices that I would like to have as an addition to my gaming "farm". So, the other day there was news about a tiny, if I may say so, Gigabyte gaming PC, which is part of the Brix II line. This computer is very small in size and fits in the palm of an adult. In this case, the developers are positioning their PC as a game, and not just a mini-desktop. It is worth noting that the length of the edge of the case of this computer is only 11.5 centimeters.

The developers have equipped it with a new processor from Intel, Haswell, as well as an integrated graphics chip Intel Iris Pro, running, according to the developers, at the level of Nvidia's GeForce GT 650M (thanks to EvilHedgehog ). All this has made it possible to achieve significant performance with a minimum size. The device was first demonstrated on the 2013 Intel Developer Forum, where everyone could try out the Dirt II gameplay on a new PC. According to eyewitnesses, the game went smoothly even at 1080p.

In Intel, they say that this system can "pull" and Crysis 3, though not at maximum settings. Of course, you can not compare this PC and gaming monsters, but still, the performance of the device is very high for this volume.



In this case, the price of the device is not the highest. It is planned to sell it at $ 499– $ 599 US dollars, depending on the configuration. Brix II, so called this model, is equipped with everything you need, including HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, four USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet. There is also a wireless communication module Wi-Fi and headphone output.

And yes, the minus of the model is that it comes without RAM, hard disk and OS. It is assumed that the buyer will do it himself. The system will be sold in December.
