The LattePanda V1 Windows 10 Mini PC - 2GB/32GB, Win10 Unactivated

As Makers, coders and all-round tinkerers of technology, there are many of us who love to jump between different systems, since each one offers a distinct set of benefits, such as the low-level experimentation of Arduino, the basic but powerful functionality of Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu, as well as our full-sized computers for everything else. However, it’s always quite frustrating to have to move from system to system, and it would be great if we could just do it all from a single interface, and that’s what makes The LattePanda Windows 10 Mini PC so damn awesome! This powerful little beast of a Development Platform takes hobbyist electronics to the next level, featuring all of the key ingredients that make up a full-sized PC (but just smaller and more compact) as well as a secondary ATmega32U4 co-processor that allows you to experiment and play all from one place.

This single-board computer differentiates itself from competing boards like the Raspberry Pi or lesser-known boards like the BeagleBone range by focusing on the user experience that so many people around the world are already accustomed to – a windows environment – and in doing so, they have designed the LattePanda with not just one, but two processing units. The primary processor is a powerful Intel Quad Core with integrated Graphics processing, while the secondary is the ever-common and ever-powerful ATmega32U4 Chip. This combo is perfect for handling both standard computer uses and applications, as well as complex developer programming and prototyping, which of courses aligns perfectly with the “Computer for Everything” catchphrase that they’ve attached to the LattePanda.

With the LattePanda, you can finally enjoy Windows, Ubuntu and low-level Arduino experimentation and prototyping all on one single system, and even if you don’t find yourself experimenting much with Arduino or Ubuntu, it’s hard to argue against the fact that having a pocket-sized PC that you can carry around with full computer functionality wherever you go is undoubtedly awesome. So, whether you want to add this beautiful board into your arsenal of platforms and microcontrollers, are eager to build yourself a handy travel computer, or perhaps just want to take advantage of the low cost and high level of functionality that this system offers, you won’t be disappointed by the incredible design quality and feature-rich experience of the LattePanda V1 Windows 10 Mini PC.

Please Note: If you love the idea of this amazing embedded system like we do, but are looking for different variants with more power, check out the entire LattePanda Range to find the one that suits your needs.

Typical Applications for The LattePanda V1 Windows 10 Mini PC:

The LattePanda Mini PC is described by the creators as a “Computer for Everything”, and this does an excellent job at summing up precisely what it’s capable of. The impressive Quad Core CPU along with the co-processor that is basically an Arduino Leonardo means that this single board can handle an exceptionally wide range of electronics prototyping and tinkering. The board itself features 6 GPIO interfaces that are directly connected to the Intel CPU, allowing for integrated peripheral functionality from the get-go, while also featuring 20 GPIO interfaces that are connected to the ATmega32U4 chip as well. This is complemented with 7 handy 3-pin Plug ‘n’ Play connectors along the edge of the board for simplified work with sensors and similar 3-pin components, and with an HDMI Port, a MIPI-DSI Port and a Touch Connector as well, the LattePanda is more than ready to interface with all kinds of other electronics too.
