Powerful Recycled Plastic PCs

The Microsoft Project Volterra Maintains a Slim, Stackable Design

The Microsoft Project Volterra mini PC has been introduced by the tech brand as a computing solution for users who need to prioritize power and performance, but also space constraints. The ultra-compact PC is small enough to be positioned on a desktop, but still packs a neutral processor capable of impressive artifice intelligence (AI) computing. Designed with Windows developers in mind, the computer has a stackable construction to accommodate multiple units being used at the same time or rack deployment and has a recycled plastic body.

The Microsoft Project Volterra mini PC is positioned to combat against other compact computing solutions on the market and boasts the ARM-native Visual Studio developer toolchain. The game-changing computer is expected to make waves in the industry upon release.
