Compact computers or Mini PCs have become popular due to their excellent quality/price ratio. These systems will obviously always be less powerful (in most cases) than tower or laptop computers. An optimal solution for a large number of users that offers many possibilities.
They create a Mini PC with a very attractive touch panel
Certainly, Planet Computers is not like you, and that’s normal. This British company has above all distinguished itself by offering extraordinary products. They launched a smartphone with a sliding QWERTY keyboard similar to Nokia N97 and even a clamshell type. Now they’re making the leap to compact computers with a different proposition.
have been announced PlanetPC XR1 and XR2, whose design is really very similar. Both models have a front touch screen with a resolution of 1424 x 280 pixels. These kits are based on ARM architecture processors made by Rockchip and they arrive with the Ubuntu operating system installed natively.
He XR1 model is processor-based RK3566 quad-core. Said processor is complemented by 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. On the other hand, the XR2 is based on the Octa-core RK3588, with the same amount of RAM and storage as the XR1.
Note that the XR1 has a version with an SSD up to 2 TB or an HDD up to 4 TB. On the other hand, the XR2 has up to 32 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of flash memory or up to to 2TB SSD.
Something that catches the eye is the connectivity of these systems. He XR1
They are not economic systems, since the XR1 costs $610 and the XR2 costs $769. Of course, the touchscreen makes the end product quite expensive.
A booming market indeed
We can find many Mini PCs in the market for different types of use. These products sell quite well because they are cheap, powerful and very compact. Not only to use them for working, studying or browsing, but they have become popular for creating retro console systems in the living room.
We have, for example, the BMAX B2S which is based on an Intel N4020, has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. A perfect system to create a retro console for the living room or for work. You can even opt for the Minix J51-C8 which costs 349 dollars and which is based on the Intel Celeron N5105. The latter is perfect because it has external WiFi antennas, which guarantees better connectivity.
