Microsoft introduces 2 new miniature PCs with full Windows 10

"

The reduction in the size of PC components, in addition to allowing the appearance of small tablets with Windows 8, has led to the emergence of a new category of small, cheap equipment, which fit in the palm of your hand and promise to turn any screen into a Complete PC just by connecting them to it via HDMI, or another port. A well-known example of this type of PC is the Intel Compute Stick, an HDMI dongle presented at CES 2015, and which our colleagues from Xataka had the opportunity to test."

Now other manufacturers want to take advantage of the momentum of Windows 10 to launch similar equipment, and in fact there are a couple of them that are already ready, and which were presented by Microsoft itself during the conference Computex 2015.

"

The first of these is the Compute Plug, manufactured by Quanta , pictured above, which is in the shape of a wall socket Quanta has not provided additional details on the device&39;s specifications, but from the images we know that it has at least 2 USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI port. It is also likely to integrate Bluetooth connectivity, and internal features similar to Quanta&39;s other stick, which offers an Intel Bay Trail Z3735F7 processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage "

And on the other hand we have the Foxconn Kangaroo, a PC with dimensions similar to those of an external hard drive, and that stands out for its include a fingerprint reader (compatible with Windows Hello) and an internal battery that gives it 6 hours of autonomy, thus allowing it to be used even when there is a shortage of power outlets stream.

Apparently, both PCs include a microphone, which would allow you to control the system through Cortana, something very useful when dealing with computers that they depend on external keyboards and mice to be usable.

Unfortunately, there is still no information on pricing and availability of any of these miniature PCs, as Microsoft introduced them in its conference just to show the possibilities of Windows 10 on different hardware. Most likely, the manufacturers will reveal more details as the release of the operating system gets closer.
