Tech companies like to announce new things at CES, and I think I might have found the biggest one in my book already.
Intel kind of just dropped this one on us, it's called Edison - it's a SD card sized SoC (System on a Chip), 22nm, 2x 400 MHz cores, integrated WiFi & Bluetooth, based on Intel's Quark architecture.
What I find interesting is that no one is making a REAL mini computer. By real, I mean one that can run windows 8 at compatible laptop speeds. The technology is there for it to happen. The market is too. Look at Tango, it's on indigogo - a small PC but it's not really a PC unless it's plugged in the docking station. Neat concept but lacks practicality.
I would like to see a mini PC that runs windows 8 at a normal speed, has wifi, and at least one USB. I'd like it to be the size of that intel quark board example. It can plug into a dock for hdmi and additional peripherals...
That way, with a computer that small - it could be used for many applications because it won't require the dock.
It'd be great for eZrobot
It's not sd card sized , maybe a tiny bigger than 2 packs of cigarettes.
Another one , tiny and powerful
