Who thought we'd ever see USB-C alongside a serial port...

looks interesting - nice portable unit for recording work. Might invest me in one of those.

Depending on pricing, this is miles better than the MSI Cubi 2 that appears to be shooting for a similar market.

Are the "USB 3.1 Tpye-C" and "USB 3.1 Tpye-A" ports enhanced due to the typo?

Very neat idea tho

I guess its probably also targeted at industrial markets.

I shall have to watch for an IoT label turning up on our cat, they seem to be everywhere else already. I mean really, this isn't a thing that embeds a computer, it just is a computer.

i have built several gigabyte brix systems and they always go down well and i may get one of these to see what the performance is like. i liked the cubi too, it was a nice looking box.

Your cat has an embedded computer? Do you at least use it to derive the optimal catfood dispensing velocity? The world needs to know.

Any responsible cat owner should have their pet chipped, just not overclocked
