A company based out of the UK has created a product to help more people learn how to build computers in a fun and easy way. This computer set comes with all the necessary parts but disassembled for you to build it. This project is called Kano.
The new craze for computers is following the trend that we just recently saw with cellphones. Notice how I said cellphones not smartphones. This is because before the invention of the smartphone, the obsession was to have a smaller and smaller phones while still retaining functionality. Lots of people have poked fun at that including shows such as Corner Gas. The trend that we have seen with smartphones is actually the same in some aspects while opposite in others. What the trend is now is to have thinner, sleeker phones that have larger screens. This follows what we want from our televisions and monitors. So to summarize we want smaller, sleeker technology that can run at the same or higher quality as its predecessors, while increasing screen size. Well all of your dreams are soon to come true with the new Intel Compute Stick.
With the competition between ARM and x86, fighting to win over the mobile device market, some have decided to utilize this technology to create miniature single board computers. Most have chosen to use ARM, since it is the current leader in the mobile device field. One of these companies is Raspberry Pi. But one company has decided to offer you the size of an ARM based computer but with an x86 processor. This company, named Jaguar Electronic, has created the JaguarBoard.
