ICE has been working for more than a year to introduce a modular PC which can easily fit into your pocket. Now it seems that the project is ready and ICE wants to raise $300,000 via Indiegogo to fund the final development of the ICE xPC.
Lets have a brief look at the ICE xPC modular PC; its basically a smartphone size device weighing 4-ounce having 4.87”x 2.31”x0.35” dimensions. What exactly packs in this modular PC is:
- Quad-core Intel “Bay Trail” Atom chip
- 2GB-4GB of RAM
- 32GB-128GB of SSD storage
- 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
- 720p camera
- Bluetooth module
- Accelerometer
- Gyro sensor
Since the basic core of the modular PC is to slide it into a variety of docking stations from a tablet, to a notebook, to a desktop. So there are three other modules xTop, xPad and xAdapter. The xPad is display device which easily converts your xPC module into tablet PC and is comprised of:
- 10.1-inch screen with resolutions of either 1960 x 1200 or 1280 x 800
- 10-point, touch-enabled display
- 32GB-128GB of additional solid-state storage
- 720p camera
- 30 watt-hour battery
- Ports: Two USB 2.0 ports and HDMI connector
ICE claimed that the xPC along with its various modules costs cheaper than that of today’s cost of tablets, laptops and desktops. On the other hand, for those who are interested in the ICe xPC will definitely glad to know that it will be in mass production by June and hopefully will be arrived at stores in July.
