$ 74 for an Android 4.0 mini computer

A flash drive-sized mini computer has many options. The 88 × 35 × 12 mm tiny piece weighs just 200 grams.

The first prototype of Cotton Candy, made by Norwegian FXI, was also unveiled this year, but the product is yet to be released. Now we can provide good news for those who are already feverishly waiting for a computer locked in a flash drive, because the device has already been in competition - from elsewhere, from China.

Named MK802, the device features a 1,5 GHz AllWinner A10 processor, 512 MB of memory, and an ARM Mali-400MP graphics controller. With the help of the latter, high-definition videos can also be viewed. This lineup isn’t as steep as the 1,2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and 1GB of memory in Cotton Candy, but the difference also appears in the price tag, as the latter is expected to cost around $ 200. can be done. Interestingly, the FXI solution also uses the ARM Mali-400 MP GPU. 

Another difference can be discovered. While the Cotton Candy has an HDMI connector, the MK802 has been given a mini HDMI port, so a cable will be required for use. The device can, of course, be controlled by using a wireless mouse and keyboard. With 802.11 b / g WiFi communication, the MK802 makes it easy to conjure an Internet TV into your living room, and the product also comes with a mini USB and a full-size USB port. Fortunately, the 4GB of storage can be expanded to 32GB with a microSD card - we can probably install Linux distributions here as well.

The MK802 is AliExpress online store for $ 74 now. For purchases of at least 5 pieces, this price changes to $ 70.
