Earlier this year Chinese device maker Bben unveiled a line of PC-on-a-stick computers with Intel Apollo Lake processors. Now you can buy one.
The Bben mini PC with an Intel Celeron N3350 dual-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage is now available from AliExpress for $130 and up.
Note that the “and up” is pretty important in this case: for $130 you get a model with Windows 10 installed… but not activated. If you want a version with a valid Windows 10 Home license, you’ll want to pay an extra $18 for that.
Shipping to the US starts at about $10.50.
The tiny PC measures about 4.4″ x 1.8″ x 0.5″ and weighs 2.5 ounces. It features two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI connector, a headset jack, and a pwoer jack as well as a microSD card slot and a power button.
There’s 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 and the system has ventilation holes and a small fan inside the case.

Seems like it cannot be powered using regular micro USB 5pin cable, instead opting for its own dc interface. Bit of a shame. Although with the price I can’t complain much.
Wow looks like I have another upgrade option for my Moto lapdock and it’s Velcro expansion slot!!!
I think this will be on my list of next things to get.
3GBs RAM on a pc is an odd choice. I’m guessing it’s a single channel configuration.
Yeah wasn’t 3GB the max configuration for 32-bit x86 systems?
Those pcs are going to be very good once intel or amd start doing processors on 7nm
If they had a fanless version, I’d probably get one. Looks like a great little HTPC for a secondary TV.
