RaspPi Kiiboard is a keyboard that can do the function of a mini PC. It packs Raspberry Pi 2 inside which is one of the smallest PCs ever built. While the Raspberry Pi 2 has remained a niche product as it requires high degree technical knowledge.
RaspPi Kiiboard review
RaspPi Kiiboard on the other hand has all required ports that one would need on a modern computer. You get a full fledge HDMI video output port and two USB ports. The user can decide whether to use the RasPi Killboard as normal keyboard or an all in one computer.
To do this, the designer had to remove the doors from the original PCB of Raspberry because the motherboard does not have available ports on one side and thus he had to rewire all contacts to get them to get up to the bracket which also eliminated the Ethernet LAN because RaspPi Kiiboard only uses Wi-Fi. He was also kind enough to upload a video explaining this grueling process.
The key on the keyboard have a retro look which makes it look very unique. It clearly takes us back to the golden era of the Commodore VIC20, C64 or Amiga.
TrekStor SurfTab 8.0 is an 8 inch tablet that runs Windows 8.1 operating system. First hands on Trekstor SurfTab 8.0 review video is also available courtesy of tabletblog. TrekStor SurfTab 8.0 is a windows 8.1 Intel tablet that features Intel Atom Z3735G quad core processor clocked at 1.83 GHz clock speed. It is current on sale at amazon for around 120 euros. The first impression is quite good, but there are cheaper alternatives.
TrekStor SurfTab 8.0 is not particular exciting but has some good hardware inside. Specifications include 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal flash memory and a micro SD card slot. There is a camera on its back packing 2 megapixel low resolution camera but I do not think it matters on a tablet. In addition to Windows 8.1, you also get a free annual license for Microsoft Office 365 software.
The SurfTab Wintron 8.0 comes with a plastic housing with highly glossy surface. Since the one reviewed was in white, fingerprints were not visible. On the sides, two stereo speakers are present.
While the Wintron has good price – performance ratio, we still find it difficult to recommend it. The reason is that there are better tablet competitors out there whose prices are lower too.
Dell XPS 13 2015 with out touchscreen has been launched in Germany with a price tag of 999 euro in Germany. The Dell XPS 13 2015 was launched at the consumers electronics show 2015 but was only made available with touchscreen and quad HD resolution for whopping 1399 euro. Not all of us use touchscreen on our laptops and the new model will allow the users to get Dell XPS 13 2015 at a cheaper price tag.
The non touchscreen model comes with full HD screen instead of quad HD one, packing 1920 x 1080 pixel instead of 3200 x 1800 pixels. Rest of the Dell XPS 13 2015 specifications have not been changed.
So you still get 13.3 inch screen, 4GB of RAM and 128GB SSD. If you want 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM, you will have to shell out 100 euro extra. Microsoft Windows 8.1 comes pre installed irrespective of model you get. Wireless LAN is handled by Dell Wireless 1560 WLAN ac module. The connections include USB 3.0, mini display port, SD card reader and a Noble Castle.
