The StarCloud PCG61 Mini PC is covered with a unique casing that effectively dissipates heat. The StarCloud PCG61 and PCG61-U are powered by an integrated Intel Celeron N3150 (Braswell) quad-core processor with Gen8 Intel HD Graphics. They are equipped with 4GB/8GB RAM and 32GB/64GB/128GB DDR3L ROM, expandable up to 512GB. The set includes: HDMI 1.4 and VGA interfaces, two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports, audio jack, BIOS reset button, Kensington Lock, 802.11ac WiFi (with two large antennas), Bluetooth 4.0 and Gigabit Ethernet.
We saw these devices live at a trade fair recently and they have been on sale for several days. They can be purchased in some Asian online stores, where prices for this device start at 800-900 PLN for the basic version, to which, however, you still have to add memory, battery, and the operating system. Complete and preconfigured Mini PCs are, of course, more expensive; the price depends on the number of units purchased and the amount of RAM and ROM. Here are the prices:
These devices are cheap, but we should also note that they should soon be available on the market for low-consumption and more efficient, new-generation Apollo Lake processors.I must note, however, that theIntel Celeron N3150 CPU provides some additional security, as it is already a well-known processor and works perfectly with the model with passive cooling.
This is good to know, because some users who choose the StarCloud PCG61-U may regret it later: Mini PCs and other Chinese companies that sell computers with Ubuntu do not have excellent update support, so if a user wants To switch to Ubuntu 16.10 or another operating system, you must do it yourself. The biggest advantage of Ubuntu, however, is that the Mini PC is already installed and configured, ready to use as soon as you turn on the computer.
