Looking for a tiny PC??

BUYER BEWARE ! Those tiny "Windows 10" computers run a special stripped down version of Windows. It does not do everything that regular Windows 10 does. Does it do WHAT YOU WANT ? Good question. Personally my computing needs are pretty light, so maybe ...

Raspberry Pi III (3) is pretty impressive, but it does not run Windows (at least last time I checked it did not). It runs a stripped down version of Linux.

Okay, some you want a REAL PC that runs FULL BLOWN Windows 10 ? They do exist. Check Dell and HP. The HP version tend to be "all in 1" (i.e. the "PC" is inside the monitor).

More adventuresome ? Build your own !!

• Mini-ITX case (Antec ISK 300-150) $75
• Mini-ITX (AMD) motherboard $75
• AMD Processor and memory $250
• 256 GB SSD disk $150
• Laptop BluRay drive (optional) $100

Of course, you will need a keyboard, mouse and display. You can connect it directly to a HD TV with the proper cable. There IS space inside for a second laptop drive for "mass storage" and backup (WD Green) or use an external drive. Make sure to choose a motherboard that supports a CPU chip that has "integrated graphics" (AMD chips excel at this)

The case I recommended is a bit large than 2 hardcover novels, but with the SSD it is BLINDINGLY FAST ! The motherboard I bought actually included a wireless network connection.

The build is very straight forward although you have to be careful with the cables and connectors. It took me 3 times to get cables that fit well inside the box.

Nice find
But I wonder why, the adv show full size monitors and full size keyboards
What use is a tiny pc if your going to pack around full size display and full size keyboards

Why don't the pictures ever show, plugged into a tv for display and a small folding keyboard

"Use any where easy to carry blah blah"

Ok rant over

If you like to tinker, check out the Raspberry Pi.

Here's a link to a topic about using it for digital signage:

Try small tablet.

Nice find. I'm looking for a tiny Windows 10 for a digital signage project.

Awe it's not a real product.

Being small sure has its advantages.... I Noticed from the specs and description it may not have internal battery. Says plug into HDMI screen and power source to use. Didn't read any further to see for sure...

I'm always around USB power ports around the house, truck, and RV unit so not really a big deal...

I use my LAPTOP in this mode here all the time. Only open the lid of the laptop to turn it on. My external Dual Monitors, Keyboard, mouse, sound, aux connections runs off my USB 3.0 port using a small DELL D3100 Docking Station for all of my external connections... I have a DELL Sound bar under one of my Monitors... I use my Verizon MIFI unit for internet connection when running off-grid...


Since I am already setup for this in my OFF-ROAD Camper using a GO BOARD I sit behind my wrap around seating this small foot print computer would simply be plug and play for me haha... I wouldn't worry so much having to deal with moving my laptop to the truck for security when we both go somewhere away from the camp site...

Interesting for sure...
