Priced at $200, the mini PC features a flexible keyboard that's affixed onto the side of the unit. The main PC unit features a touchpad built-in to the top portion of it to further increase efficiency.

The PC features an [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khadas-mind) Atom x5-Z8300 Cherry Trail process that is supported by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. MicroSD cards are supported for expanding the memory capabilities of the comprehensively small PC system.
