The makers of last year’s unusual Gole1 mini PC are back, this time with a model featuring a larger screen and a bigger battery.
It’s called the Gole1 Plus, and like the earlier model, it’s basically a small desktop computer with a touchscreen display… or a chunky tablet that you can also use as a desktop.
The Gole1 Plus should be available soon for about $200.
The new model has an 8 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel touchscreen IPS display and the computer measures about 7.8″ x 5.4″ x 1.1.”
It has an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 quad-core processor (a slight spec bump from the x5-Z8300 chip in the smaller model), 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage.
There’s a 5,000 mAh battery which should allow you to use the Gole1 Plus like a portable tablet-style device, or at least to unplug it and carry it around without shutting down the computer.
There’s an HDMI port, a USB 3.0 port, and built-in 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. There’s also a microSD card slot, and some models of the Gole1 Plus may be come with 128GB of built-in storage.
Some of the specs are a bit unclear. According to a product sheet sent to MiniPC DB, there are also two USB 2.0 ports, but a listing on a wholesale website says the Gole1 Plus has three USB 2.0 ports and a micro USB port.
