We’ve seen a lot of mini PCs based on Intel’s Atom SoC, but this latest one is easily the smallest. A Chinese vendor called Shenzhen Apec Electronics has started offering an honest-to-goodness x86 computer that’s the size of a thumb drive. The “APM-D01″ measures only 3.9″ x 1.5″ x 0.38” (100 x 38 x 9.6 mm) and weighs just 1.6 oz (46 g), but its internals wouldn’t look out of place inside a much larger tablet.
Intel’s Atom SoC has enabled a new breed of tiny computers although one Chinese vendor has taken it to the extreme. Shenzhen Apec Electronics is now offering an Atom-powered PC that’s roughly the size of a Chromecast dongle. The APM-D01 measures 3.9″ x 1.5″ x 0.38″ (100 x 38 x 9.6 mm) and tips the scales at just 1.6 oz (46 g). Systems are available with your choice of quad-core Atom Z3735F or Z3735G. Both 22-nanometer chips are clocked at 1.33GHz and can burst up to 1.83GHz – the difference is in maximum memory capacity and memory bandwidth.
