An Android PC for $30?

What if you could buy a fully-functional computer for $30?

The Remix Mini is the world’s first true Android PC. It claims to give you a PC experience unlike anything on Android and an Android experience unlike anything on a PC.

This tiny computer runs Remix OS which lets you enjoy the entire Android app ecosystem with the additions of a task bar, multi-window viewing and the ability to use a mouse and keyboard — including keyboard shortcuts you’re used to like copying and pasting.

    A few cool features:
    There’s a capacitive touch button on top that powers up the device in a matter of seconds
    It runs on a 64-bit chip architecture
    You can connect Ethernet and USB cables and it also supports WiFi and Bluetooth
    This is cool: it only uses 10 watts of power vs 60 to 240 watts for a standard desktop PC

So what do I think about this computer?

    I love the price point. That’s so dang cheap for a computer.
    This is like Raspberry Pi for people who don’t want to mess with building a computer.
    It’s definitely for light computing: watching movies, surfing the Internet, checking email.
    This could make a great second computer or even a decent computer for families to share in a common area.
    I’d be interested in seeing how well Android games play on the device.
    To be quite honest I’m a bit concerned about the security of the device.

This sounds to good to be true. I am definitely an android die hard fan but all my devices cost way more than 30$. I mean 30$ is not much of an investment to at least try it out but it would be against my better judgment. Are you the one selling it or has someone approached you with this offer?

Yeah, it definetly is an interesting offer and seems like a cool idea, but $30 for a funtioning PC seems way to good to be true. I think I'd need a bit more convincing before I put my faith in a piece of equipment that costs less than taking my family out to dinner for one night. But I'm totally interested!

you get it for $30 only if you donate at Kickstarter or else 200
