Intro:
If you cast your minds back a few months, you might remember the Raspberry Pi USB dongle, which one intuitive chap had turned into a fully-functional PC running Android. Enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that an equally tasty alternative has now gone on general sale, and can be bought for the unbelievably cheap price of just $74!
Online retail outlet AliExpress has begun selling Model MK802 PC, and although it appears to be little more than a USB stick used for convenient data storage, it’s actually a fully-functioning mobile PC. With a single core, 1.5GHz Allwinner A10 ARM Cortex-A8 processor and 512MB of RAM, it’s never going to win any awards for power, but the micro PC is the sort of thing we love to see here at Redmond Pie, and although there’s only 4GB of storage, it provides the perfect pocket backup for those stuck without a working desktop.
