Microsoft has teamed up with Indian gadget maker iBall to launch the Splendo, a dongle-sized PC that runs Windows 8.1.

The pocket-sized Splendo can connect to TVs and monitors via HDMI. It’s powered by an Intel Atom quad-core processor with 2GB RAM and includes 32GB of onboard storage.

It also features a MicroSDXC card slot and ports to plug in USB and Micro USB peripherals, as well as support for wireless devices over Bluetooth 4.0.

The device will go on sale in India in July for about $140 (₹ 8,999).

We’ve contacted iBall to find out if the Splendo will receive an upgrade to Windows 10 when the OS launches and will update this post when we hear back.

[Giddyguy]

im pretty sure it will get an update to windows 10 since it already has 8.1. also if its a MS product they'll make sure it gets 10.

Much like other PC-on-a-stick devices, the iBall Splendo can also fit in a pocket. It is powered by an Intel Atom quad-core processor and runs Windows 8.1. It comes with 2GB of RAM while packing 32GB of inbuilt storage.

 

The device is just required to be plugged into the HDMI input of the TV for a complete Windows PC experience. Some of the features offered by the Splendo include HD graphics, multi-channel digital audio, a microSD card slot, regular USB port, Micro-USB port, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. The device has a fan-less design and comes with a one-year warranty from the company.

If you ask me, I think that's incredible!!

 

Though, I do just like the feel of retro computers. And I like laughing at Intel's MMX Pentium commercials.

I think these are awesome, they make great HTPC replacements, I don't see the point in having a HTPC when you already have a home server that stores your data or when you could have the data on your desktop PC.
