Of course, you need to attach it to a display, and connect some sort of keyboard/mouse combo, but the MK802 could very well be the smallest PC around.
Perhaps you remember the portable FXI dual-core USB stick, which let you turn any HDMI display into an Android-powered computer?
Well, along those lines, a Chinese manufacturer has created the MK802, which is a more affordable version of the same device.
There are, of course, some trade-offs involved here. The MK802 is from an unspecified manufacturer, and has a single core 1.5Ghz processor (as opposed to the dual-core FXI). Also, the HDMI is a connector, rather than a socket, so you’ll need to use a cable rather than just stick it into the back of a TV.
The MK802 comes with 512 MB of RAM, WiFi connectivity, and 4GB of internal storage. There’s a undetermined “3D Graphical processor” inside, whatever that means, but it does come with a plethora of cables and adapters for connectivity. It comes with Android preinstalled, although you should be able to load other platforms onto it.
If you’re the adventurous type, and have $74 to spend on anonymous Chinese devices (we’ve all done it at some point), then the MK802 may be right down your alley.
