See this gorgeous box? It's not just another Android, ARM-based dongle. In fact, there have been multiple attempts to make Android desktops and laptops. But this box is kind of like the opposite. This little dude, Utilite, falls into the mini-PC category, and you better believe it can offer a real PC-like experience. The range of specs and features makes it stand out from others of it's kind.

Is it the latest Raspberry Pi rival? Created by Compulab from Israel, it actually runs either Ubuntu Linux or Android. Whichever you may choose, the device will be available for its $99 pre-order starting this August. Excited yet? You will be when the wide-ranging specs are explained. The Utilite is powered by the lower-end Freescale i.MX6 system, which the choice of single, dual or quad-core ARM Cortex-A9. With up to 4GB of DDR3 (great news for those of you who can't get enough RAM), 512GB SSD, and an impressive 128GB more with its microSD slot. Hey, for an ARM-based mini-PC you've got to find this awesome.

As mini as it may be, Utilite doesn't limit its ports or connectivity. As seen in the photo, we've got WiFi b/g/n, Blueooth 3.0, 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, HDMI and DVI for video output, 4 USB 2.0's and 1 micro, as well as a micro SD slot and audio jacks. After taking a breath or two, you are also able to take in that the video processing unit supports true 1080p H.264 decoding and OpenGL ES, making the device a perfect media outlet for your living room!

It is pretty much the size of a paperback book, with dimensions of 5.3 x 3.9 x .08'”. Not only to be used for media playing, the Utilite's other applications could include digital signage, “infotainment”, thin client, or just your new favorite desktop replacement! Much cheaper than Compulab's previous Nvidia Tegra 2, Trim-Slice PC, which ranged from $213-$338. Although not certain of the version of Android, it is expected to support 4.1 Jelly Bean in the very least. The Utilite looks like a sure thing, so much I bet all you techies would want to have one even if you don't necessarily need it. Yes or no?
