Unuiga Game PC U1 mini PC Powered by Nvidia Tegra K1

We’ve seen a few Nvidia Tegra K1 mini PCs from China, for example Warchief game consoles, pretty hard to source outside China, and the latter may just be vapor-ware. Unuiga Game PC U1, however, is a game console based on Nvidia Tegra K1 that’s destined for oversea markets, and should run Android 5.0 with an interface supporting multiple languages, and not only Chinese.

U1 mini PC specifications:

• SoC- Nvidia Tegra K1 quad core Cortex A15 CPU @ 2.3GHz 32bit 192-core Kepler GPU with support for OpenGL4.4, and DirectX11.
• System memory – 2 to 4GB DDR3
• Storage – 16 or 32GB eMMC, micro SD slot
• Video & Audio Output – HDMI 2.0 up to 4K@60fps
• Video Decoding – H.265 up to  2160p @ 60fps, support for Kodi 14.1
• Connectivity – Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n/ac 2T2R Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 (AP62X2 module)
• USB – 2x USB3.0 ports, 2x USB2.0 host ports. Internal micro USB port (for debugging?)
• Misc – Power button
• Power Supply – 12V/3A
• Dimensions – 240 x 210 x 100 mm (metallic enclosure)

The device sells with a 12V/3A power supply (5.5mm power jack) and a user’s manual by default, but optional accessories include Bluetooth or 2.4GHz RF Gamepad, a remote control, keyboard and mouse, and an HDMI cable.

The system is comprised of a baseboard combined with a CPU module (MXM314 connector?), and it’s not fanless, but it’s probably unavoidable with Nvidia Tegra K1 processor, at least if you want to extra the full performance of the four Cortex A15 cores @ 2.3 GHz.U1 mini PC is not (yet) available on e-retailer website, but I got a price list showing a sample can be had for $119.90, but this price does not include storage or memory, and after adding 2GB RAM and 16GB storage, the sample price is $145, and with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage, the sample price should be around $180. The company also plans to release a model with the 64-bit version of Tegra K1 in Q2 2015. You can visit the company’s Game PC U1 product page to contact the company if you plan to purchase in quantities.
