There are now more and more micro-computers with an ARM platform that can be connected via the HDMI port to the TV to function as a kind of Android based smart TV. So far, the performance of these devices is very limited with their AllWinner A10 ARM Cortex-A8 processors, but now a new product is on the market packing plenty of power. The mini-PC made by South African company Reno Botes has no official name, but is already available online at a price of $89 including shipping.
The specifications are pretty impressive to read. The mini PC has a 1.6 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 Dual Core processor with ARM Mali graphics 400MP4. It also has 1 GB of DDR3 RAM and 4 GB of internal flash memory. Via MicroSD card slot, the memory can be expanded by up to 32 GB. The mini PC has Wi-Fi, a large and a microUSB port, and various other features that you can see in the list below. The device is expected to come from a Chinese supplier and will be available elsewhere soon.
