Mini pc because of its compact and many gamers around the world to know, because it is really very aspect, you can even put it in your pocket inner tube out.As long as you have a TV you can play all the games of Android.This is a lot of news about the site of its introduction, but many of the media ignored it powerful video playback, today to introduce you to it.

The Android 4.0 Mini PC and its AllWinner A10 CPU are supposed to be capable of displaying content in resolutions up to 2160p, well higher than full HD. Unfortunately, due to a software or driver error, the Mini PC displayed the OS at only 720p resolution. When we attached the device to two different 1080p televisions and a 1680 x 1050 monitor, it outputted at 1280 x 720, not the screens' native resolutions. A rep from OEM Systems told us that they are working on a software fix to allow higher resolutions.

Fortunately, the 720p resolution desktop still looked sharp even on a 50-plus-inch Samsung TV. Considering that most Android apps aren't written for 1080p or higher resolutions, we doubt most users will notice the difference.

The Android 4.0 Mini ...
... PC is definitely good enough to serve as your media server. When we played 720p YouTube videos of "The Avengers" and "Prometheus" trailers, motion was sharp and smooth. Performance was limited only by our office bandwidth. After installing the Netflix app, we streamed the movie "Thor" smoothly. When we played a 1080p local MP4 video trailer for "Skyfall," the image was crystal clear and subtle details such as Daniel Craig's eyes really popped.
Performance

The Mini PC's 1.5-GHz AllWinner A10 CPU and 1GB of RAM make it fast enough to play HD video, enjoy casual games and perform everyday tasks such as surfing the Web, reading email and editing documents. Navigating through the OS was usually smooth, though we occasionally experienced a lag when opening apps or starting major tasks such as opening a new video for playback. Surfing the Web was generally responsive, though the browser sometimes was slow to render pages with a lot of flash or other plug-ins.

In testing the Mini PC, we found out that the AllWinner CPU that's labeled as 1.5-GHz actually comes underclocked down to 912 MHz. Adventurous users may be able to increase the speed of the Mini PC by using overclocking software. However, several different overclocking apps we tried, including SetCPU, failed to show any speed greater than 912 MHz on their menus. An OEM Systems Co. rep warned us that the device might overheat if clocked higher.

Creating and editing both spreadsheets and word processing documents in Google Drive was smooth, provided we had good connectivity. In an area with weak Wi-Fi, we had better luck with offline tools like Notepad, a simple text-editing app.

We would not, however, recommend the Mini PC as a gaming system. When we tried to play the high-end games "Shadow Gun" and "Bladeslinger," each crashed before it was able to show us a single image. The game "Riptide GP" was extremely laggy until we turned down the graphics to the lowest possible setting.

On synthetic benchmarks, the Android 4.0 Mini PC got very modest scores. On AN3DBench, a test that measures overall graphics prowess, the device got a mere 5,413, more than 2,000 points less than the 7,196 category average for tablets. When we ran Quadrant, a test that measures overall performance, the Mini PC scored just 1,271, far below the 2,369 tablet average.

The Android Mini PC is the lightest mass-produced computer we've ever seen. Though it's not as powerful as most phones or tablets, this device delivers strong enough performance to use as a secondary computer or set-top box. With its extremely low price, early adopters can afford to get the Mini PC just to play around with while mainstream consumers can deploy it in the home.
