VIA ARMTiGO A800

"The VIA ARMTiGO A800 is an ultra slim system for those seeking an optimized design for both power and performance."

We respectfully disagree. The ARMTiGO A800 might look great, a Cortex-A8 CPU is just not acceptable in 2013. Especially when Cortex-A15 solutions start to be available.

✓ 120 mm x 30 mm x 125 mm (4.72" x 1.18" x 4.92")
