I was scanning an online store page of souq.com that I
received in my e-mail when I came upon an unusual product (to me at least)
called a “Mini PC.” I said, “What?” Technology had reduced the size of my PCs
(desktop/laptop/tablet) to a size smaller than my palm? I was so curious that
in few clicks; I have ordered 2 products since I have already registered to the
company days earlier. I got an e-mail the following day that the products are
on the way. I realize later that I should have checked YouTube for a demo which
I just did. It’s actually an Android TV stick that converts your TV into a
smart TV. Imagine your android 3’ phone or your 7’ android tablet suddenly
growing up to a 32 inches monster (if your TV is 32 inches or bigger) and the
price is generously cheap; 199 Saudi Riyals (54 US$). Few weeks ago; Google
announced a product they will sell for 30 dollars the size of an USB memory
stick called “Chromecast” that will likewise convert your TV into a monitor for
your smart phone, tablet and laptop with your gadgets acting like a remote. For
Android Mini PC; you need to buy a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard;
gadgets that most people already have. It is predicted that future laptops will
sell cheaply without Microsoft’s expensive Window OS but it will run on Google’s
free Android OS.
