AOpen Pandora Mini Showcased at Computex ’05


aopen mini pandoraIt looks like the Intel (Mac) Mini concept PC that was showcased at the Intel Developer Forum in March has been adopted by AOpen. According to SilentPCReview, “AOpen’s new Pentium-M based Mac Mini lookalike, codenamed ‘Pandora’. Unveiled at Computex 2005, this tiny product is yet another AOpen effort to take advantage of the powerful formerly mobile Intel CPU into the desktop world. A fully integrated system incorporating wireless LAN, the ‘Pandora’ was brought to prototype form in just a month, according to Joseph Hsu, a Technical Manager at AOpen. It uses a single blower fan that turns on only when needed. The aluminum casing was warm but the fan was not running when these photos were taken in the hot tradeshow room. Look for a Sept market release date.”
