Utilite2 : a Snapdragon-powered Linux mini PC




Cute overload. CompuLab announces its smallest desktop yet, Utilite2 is 30% smaller than the previous generation and packs a robust Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor with a quad-core 1.7GHz Krait 300 CPU and Adreno 320 GPU.

Unlike other pico PCs, Utilite2 will not shove Cloud storage in people's throats thanks to a welcomed mSATA socket. Price and availability coming later this month.
