Hasta La Gadget!

 
After meeting up with Chinese-based hardware manufacturer GiadaTech (or short: Giada) at Computex Taipei. We were quite surprised when seeing their Mini PC lineup. They have a complete line of low powered; yet potent mini PC’s the size of a conventional book. A particularly thin book that is.
In this review we’ll be focusing on one of their latest “booklet” called the Giada Mini PC A51.

Giada today unveiled the new A51 Mini PC. Measuring at just 1-inch thick, the computer is probably thinner than a dictionary that you have on your bookshelf. The Giada A51 features an AMD T56N G-series 18W dual core processor with a Radeon HD graphics, USB 3.0 port, USB 2.0 port, HDMI, VGA, SPDIF, Ethernet, a card reader, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The A51 also supports 1080p HD video playback and 5.1 channel audio. If you are interested, you can buy the Giada A51 Mini PC for $273 (MSRP). [Liliputing]
