Universal powerful PC the size of a smartphone: Tango PC

The other day I came across information about the most interesting project of a universal mini-PC with the capabilities of a fairly powerful laptop. On Habré information about him did not find, and the device is very interesting. Firstly, this is not a miniature PC purely for developers, but a full-featured computer that can "pull" graphics applications, modern games, and everything else.

Secondly, the size of the device is comparable to a large smartphone, you can transfer it without any problems.

Thirdly, the PC consists of two parts - a docking station equipped with various connectors and a cooling system, and a functional part, the “brain”. So, having a couple of docking stations (they are inexpensive, running in advance), you can get rid of the need to carry a laptop from home to office (and thus save on licensed software - this is one example of savings).

Fourth, you can install Steam OS on this PC and get a full-featured game console. You can also use this PC as a home media station, watch TV shows , movies , shows, without forgetting about the integration of the station with all the other gadgets.

Here are the characteristics of the device:



As for the price, the cost of one system (with a docking station) is $ 399. An additional docking station costs $ 99.

Of course, there is not taken into account the cost of the monitor, which will have to re-buy each docking station.



This PC is not a concept, but an already created device, which, by the way, received 300 thousand dollars on Indiegogo , instead of 100 thousand planned. The problem is that the party turned out to be limited, and new orders are not provided, all the "pre-customers" are already waiting for their devices.



The developers of Tango PC are now planning to launch a campaign on Kickstarter to get a larger amount, in order to adjust the permanent release of their computer. The campaign will be launched this week, so we are waiting.

While you can watch the video, which explains the essence of the project:
