This is cool but phones have fit in my pocket for years. It's all about the form factor if you want a PC.
I'm waiting for the PC that's the size of a thumb drive that you just put into any hdmi port.
All peripherals connect over bluetooth, and power will have to come from the hdmi port.
- green_on_black 4y ago... an intel compute stick?
- lambdafourtwo 4y agoWhat? This exists? Does it get all power from hdmi?
- happymellon 4y agoNo, they normally require a usb power hooked up.
- 4ggr0 4y agoA small Powerbank could help in that case, if no power socket is available. But generally power sockets aren't far away from HDMI ports, at least in my experience.

- michaelmrose 4y agoThis exists but is a lot of money for a bad computer. By comparison an intel NUC can actually be a decent computer at 4.6 x 4.41 x 2.01 inches. Why would you actually want this?
- lambdafourtwo 4y agoDid not know this exists. Well I want it to fit in my pocket. A NUC can't.
