When the word ‘unboxing’ is used, the general opinion is an attempt to introduce people to a new device – usually a mobile phone. But this is not a mobile phone, it’s an introduction to a device that signifies an hallmark in mobile technology and one that could define the future of the PC as it used to be known.
When the word ‘PC’ is used, what is expected is a constellation of different devices connected via wire or wireless – the monitor, CPU keyboard and mouse. But Jide Technology’s Remix Mini would remove the CPU from the mix using the modified Android interface.
According to the manufacturer’s official website for the device, even at its small size, Remix Mini comes equipped with everything needed in order to stay connected: WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and USB. They believe that all of these options give Remix Mini an unprecedented level of versatility in a variety of scenarios.
64-bit chipset
They also claim that the device is powered by the latest 64-bit chipset and delivers up to 20-30% better performance than its 32-bit counterparts.
“At the core of what makes this so special is actually what Remix Mini doesn’t need you to do. You will never have to worry about whether you’re installing the right bit version ever again. With Android, it all just works,” they stated.
Lesser energy
The typical desktop computer clocks in at anywhere between 65 to 250 watts but the maufacturer said Remix Mini gives the same power of desktop computing at a mere 10 watts.
“By simply leveraging already existing power efficiencies found in mobile CPU architectures, Remix Mini is able to save you so much more in power without sacrificing anything in performance,” they stated.
But can Remix Mini replace the CPU?
This is the question on the mind of every tech enthusiast that might have come across the Remix Mini. Even though it has all the necessary ports, can tech users comfortably port to the new gadget and dump the desktop CPU?
Furthermore, the widely available television sets can serve as the monitor which means that the device is not only threatening CPU but the computer as it is known. But does it come well prepared to challenge the PC?
These are some of the questions that this review will attempt to answer in order to guide the users in deciding which one to give away – the CPU or the Remix Mini.
