Android PC gets wrapped in maple, hits that premium sweet spot

Android PC gets wrapped in maple, hits that premium sweet spot

If you feel that a typical barebones Android PC really won’t do alongside your chaise longue and stack of hardback first editions, you may be interested in Jeffrey Stephenson’s latest case mod. Underneath the birds eye maple, acrylic panelling and mesh, the Acero houses VIA’s humble $49 Neo-ITX-based system card, running an iteration of Android 2.3 ready for mouse and keyboard add-ons. Up to 720p graphics is possible, which can be output through its VGA or HDMI ports and although that 800MHz processor may not be up to delivering the greatest gaming thrills, we’ve already got our joystick picked out.
