Probably the smallest desktop PC in the world

Now that we've introduced you guys to the Solu computer, it's time to meet UP, the single-board computer (SBC) that looks like Raspberry Pi 2 and runs Linux, Windows 10, and Android.

UP comes straight from the Netherlands, and its developers say that they haven't seen anything like this on the market, and that's why they have started a Kickstarter campaign to raise €50,000 (~$56.600).

Powered by an Intel Quad-Core Atom X5-8300 processor running at 1.84GHz, UP boasts 1GB DDR3L RAM, 16 GB eMMC storage, 40 GPIO, five USB 2.0 ports, a USB 3.0 OTG port, Gigabit Ethernet, one DSI port, Camera (MIPI), an HMDI port, and an RTC.

"The CPU is supported by Android 5.0 Lollipop, Microsoft Windows 10 and we support and enable Linux through our UP Community," say the devs. "With a 5-10 dollar housing, UP becomes probably the smallest desktop PC in the world."

At the moment of writing this article, UP has managed to raise approximately €19,000 ($21,500), which means that it is getting closer to half the sum needed to deliver the board to its backers. The board will cost you no more than €89 ($100).

The estimated delivery for UP is February 2016, but only if it gets successfully funded, something that only you guys can make a reality. So, what are you waiting for? Get up and get your wallet to pre-order a UP board right now from its Kickstarter page.
