As an Aussie I had to see what has someone done now.
Intel Atom x5-Z8500 Cherry Trail processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, microSD card reader.
A removable dock that adds an HDMI port, two USB ports, and a DC power connector.
Also has a fingerprint reader so you can secure your login to Windows 10 using biometrics.
We're getting closer... now, if someone can please match the Z8500 with 4GiB of RAM... Then you'd have a reasonably fast Win10/Linux computer that you can actually do work on.

Yes i think that they are coming along nicely and that we will see more powerful models that can do more.
The potential issue that I see is how much they will cost as some may start to cross into NUC territory that may make them seem less attractive.
Apparently, from some discussions that I had yesterday, whilst Intel state that the Z8300 can only support 2Gb RAM, it is possible to use 4, so that may be one way to go in order to keep costs down.
Up to now I think that the Microsoft Surface tablets have pretty much been the only devices to use the Z8700 SOC and we know how expensive they are.
I quickly compare the Intel Atom X5 Z8500 Vs the X5 Z8300. Geekbench 3 and 3DMark scores and temps. I got the X98 Pro for $215 with coupon 3f3128 here: http:...
Slightly O/T
X98 is a beast of a unit..
Issues we had with heat problems with PIPO's are minor compared to X98 pro.
Slowly getting the beat under control with doing the heat spreader mod...Yet.
Cheers
What it did highlight was the difficulty in making accurate comparisons at any one moment in time, so there could be many variables during actual use of a typical device.
