I think you will better understand the products here and understand the reason that some are excited about your product in this community.
Your product looks great. I hope you guys deliver. It will be a great addition to our builds.
I just got this for my home automation and media and it works great
mini pc
Looks like the LattePanda is now shipping in two versions (and they also offer a bunch of accessories). 2G of RAM and 32GB of storage (with Win10 product key) priced at $109 USD, and the upgraded, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (without Win10 product key) priced at $139 UDS. :
2G of RAM and 32GB of storage (with Win10 product key)
4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (without Win10 product key)
I'm real tempted to get the 4GB version. With this upgraded version I'd also have to buy a Win 10 product key for about $70 (unsure on this price).
I'm wondering after 8 months have passed is this is still a good choice for a power user of ARC? Is there now better mini pc's out there? I see a few that are in the Kickstarter phase.
Also wondering if the newly announced but not yet shipping V5 EZB with the added Mini PC will blow this LattePanda away and better to wait for it's release. I wont really need to buy till later in this year but I'm getting geared to switching over to an onboard PC and dumping the laptop.
However the LattePanda does offer a 4 GB model where the only choice on Pepo is 2 GB. When buying a computer I have always leaned towards buying as much power and storage as I can afford. These days it's hard to compare though. So many variables, so many choices. I like the Kangaroo Pro also! *eek*
You can look at this one of two ways. Either buy up what you can now, or avoid them right now. for the DIY guys, I would be buying. If you have a product, I would be avoiding knowing that you will need to use either an ARM processor and Linux or a Joule proc and Windows.
I believe the cost of the Joule will come down because if this is what windows based phones and tablets will run on, there will be many produced driving down the cost. If they are going to compete with ARM, they will have to drop the price of the Joule drastically. If they want the DIY community to accept them as their marketing states, the cost will have to drop drastically.
The other option is that Microsoft gives up on Intel and developes an OS that runs on ARM processors. They have started this with Windows 10 IoT. It would be logical for them to go forward down this path I suppose buy doubt it.
Anyway, just wanted to make sure people know about Intel'so announcement before buying these cheap pc's.
Pipo 9x
The width of this model is bigger then the x8 but is 5.8 inches wide. My torso is in my storage so I can't measure side vent but seems like it should fit. Hopeful thinking?
Edit: seems yes the Surface pro 3 has them

Can i ask you a favor ?
Can you run the command dxdiag on your windows 10 @ lattepanda
Then click on "Save all information"
it will ask where you want to create the file to save the information.
Can you email me the information captured, my email is in the profile.
windows dxdiag is a directx diagnostic tool, and generates a file with information reported by the hardware & drivers.
That will help me to understand what is really available.
Thanks
Please post a review on your Latte Panda. I am interested in getting a couple for two separate projects and plan on running ARC, a web cam and of course an EZ- B. I plan to connect the EZ- B via usb when it becomes available. I will also be using the 7 " screen.
Thanks,
Ron
