Imagine a laptop this small, this light, that you could simply slide into a large pocket. That's the driving force behind the new X-Plus Piccolo. This seriously small convertible has just hit the market. It is not your typical clunky notebook. It’s a feather-light, touch-screen machine designed for real on-the-go computing.
Pocket-Sized Power and Adaptability
The Piccolo emphasizes flexibility over mere small size. Its 360-degree hinge allows for on-the-fly mode changes. It transforms from a teeny laptop to a tablet in seconds. Need to write a quick email? Use laptop mode. Want to surf the internet or watch movies comfortably? Switch to tablet mode. It is designed to adapt to how you work and play.
Surprising Performance in a Small Package
Under the hood, this gadget packs surprising oomph for its small size:
- Powered by a new Intel N150 processor (future versions will offer even more power).
- Features 12GB of RAM and a speedy 512GB SSD for storage.
- Includes an 8-inch touchscreen with clear 1920x1200 resolution for crisp video.
- Weighs under 700 grams, making it barely noticeable in your bag.
Connectivity and Essential Features Included
Despite its diminutive size, the Piccolo doesn’t lack essential features:
- Promises around 6 hours of battery life from its compact battery.
- Includes Wi-Fi 5 for wireless internet and Bluetooth 4.2 for accessories.
- Offers easy storage expansion with a microSD card slot.
- Provides ports such as USB 3.0, USB 2.0, mini-HDMI, and a headphone jack.
- Features a 2MP webcam for video conferencing and a fingerprint reader in the power button for security.
Affordable Ultra-Portability
The most notable aspect of the X-Plus Piccolo is its price. It is available directly from X-Plus for approximately $374.99. For a fully capable, ultra-portable convertible PC, this price is quite enticing.
A New Era of Pocketable PCs
If you are seeking a secondary device focused on portability, or if you appreciate the concept of a truly pocketable PC, the X-Plus Piccolo is worth considering. It demonstrates that significant capabilities can be found in small packages.
