XDO has a Pico projector that can be used alongside the Pico PC to make the whole system easy to take on a trip without needing heaps of other hardware. The portability of this solution is excellent, but only if you don’t need to bring a monitor with you. Once you’ve adapted to a more sympathetic working style, the Pico PC chugs along nicely and has sufficient power for most office tasks. Doing that on this system can result in temporary lockups or stuttering, as each of the four cores can only handle a single thread. On a more powerful system, it is tempting to take a running task and push it to the background and work elsewhere. Once all those activities have subsided, a few hours at a minimum, the Pico PC is very useable if you don’t overstress the processor of GPU with too many concurrent tasks. Otherwise, you’ll have an experience where things stop and start abruptly and even reboot while you are trying to use it.

#NOVABENCH AVIS INSTALL#

When the review machine arrived, it had Windows 10 Home pre-installed, one of the irritating versions where Cortana won’t shut up throughout the setting up phase.ĭue to the relatively low level of performance, we’d strongly recommend that if you intend to use Windows on the Pico PC that you allow it to chew through the seemingly endless list of updates a new install needs to digest. The biggest 2242 M.2 SATA drives we’ve seen are 2TB. It is probably better to get XDO to put a 1TB drive inside if that is how much space you expect to need. But we didn’t see any easy or obvious ways into our Pico PC, so how you achieve this, we’re unsure. In the XDO FAQ the upgradability of this aspect is covered, and it can be swapped by the user. Storage is either an inbuilt flash module on the lowest specified SKU or a 2242 M.2 SATA SSD slick for the more capable options.

The CPU incorporates a UHD Graphics 600 (Gemini Lake) GPU, clocked at 750Hz and with 12 execution units, a derivative from the UHD Graphics 500 series (Apollo Lake). It can use LPDDR4 RAM in the SoDIMM laptop packages, up to 8GB, and a SATA drive can be connected through an M.2 SATA slot. Intel designed this quad-core SoC primarily for mini PCs with passive cooling in mind, making it an ideal choice.

To address some of these limitations, XDO engineers went with an Intel Celeron J4125 processor clocked at 2GHz, boosting to 2.7GHz on a single core.

There isn’t enough room in here for a desktop CPU, a full stick of DDR4 with 288 pins, an elaborate cooling system or even a 2280 M.2 NVMe drive. When you design a system this tiny, numerous practicalities come into play that eliminates hardware choices purely on size, power consumption and heat dissipation.

Ports: 3 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB-C, 1 x HDMI, 1x Audio Jack, MicroSD card slotĬonnectivity: Intel AC-9462 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1 Here are the full specs of the Pantera Pico PC: The Pico PC also comes in seven colours to choose from. These accessory items cost around less than $20 each and can be added when choosing a system. Our review hardware was the 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD combination, and also included was an XDO branded folding keyboard, an EVO small EVA case and an unbranded small carry case. They also offer ‘double packs’ where you get two and even a package where they include another of its Kickstarter products, a Pico projector.Ĭurrently, they predict that the machines will ship in November, and those interested in backing this campaign will find it here (opens in new tab). The next level offers 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for 1,391HK$ (£130 or $170), and above that price point, the amount of RAM and storage increases progressively.

And, if this design is available in retail after the campaign ends, it will cost roughly $210. Pledge 1,159HK$ (£108 or $149), and you get a Pantera Pico PC from a selection of colours with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM. The cheapest pledge doesn’t get you a Pico PC, but just the warm fuzzy feeling that you helped some Hong Kong entrepreneurs by giving them 100 HK$ (about £10). Kickstarts aren’t guaranteed to be successful, and from a certain perspective, it's gambling. We should point out that if it isn’t, then you might get nothing irrespective of what level of support you provide. And, as Kickstarters usually involve, you can invest in this project and depending on the level of investment, you get a better Pico PC should the campaign be successful.
