MC2 Post 1392 The Z2C is a Slick Android PC-On-a-Stick


Zero Devices has introduced the Z2C, 
a slick Android PC-on-a-stick 
that features a Rockchip RK3066 
ARM Cortex-A9 dual core processor, 
1GB of memory, 8GB of storage 
and a microSD card slot.


Unsurprisingly, the Z2C is similar in appearance to a number of other PCs-on a-stick currently on the market, such as the $69 UG802 mini PC. That device is powered by a Rockchip RK3066 ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core processor paired with 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB integrated storage, a microSD card slot for expansion and an integrated HDMI connector.

===================================

    Rockchip doesn't officially provide support for Linux, although unofficial Ubuntu ports and other Linux-flavors do exist. So if Linux is a priority for you, the popular MK802 may be a better bet.

The Z2C - which runs Android 4.0 - is priced at a cool $82, with pre-orders expected to kick off in the near future.
