DreamPlug - PC for lovers of miniature gadgets



    In principle, there are already quite a lot of small and very small computers in the world, which, despite their size, are comparable in functionality to their “big brother”. Modern technologies really make it possible to miniaturize almost any device, if necessary. Globalscale Technologies has created a really cool gadget, with sizes that many lovers of miniature devices will like: 110 * 69.5 * 48.5 mm. At the same time, DreamPlug is not just a toy, its configuration is quite enough to perform most office tasks.

    So, the DreamPlug configuration includes a Marvell Sheeva ARM processor with a frequency of 1.2 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 1 GB of internal memory (yes, there is no hard drive here, you will have to expand the device’s memory by connecting external drives). There are also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless modules, there is an SD card slot. In addition, the baby boasts USB 2.0, Ethernet, eSATA 2.0 connectors. Of course, the discrete video adapter did not fit here, so the manufacturers decided to get along with the integrated solution. But it is enough to display the image in good quality - 720p HD.



    By the way, the baby comes with an OS preinstalled. The choice is given a distribution of Ubuntu or Debian.

    In general, such a device can fulfill many goals - from working as an office PC to working as the center of a smart home system. According to the developers, DreamPlug can work both as a security center and as a small server.





    The baby is also not very much - only 150 dollars. It seems that such an inexpensive and functional computer can really become popular among completely different categories of users.
