The Cubietruck is an upcoming mini-computer with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, up to 2GB of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, and WiFi and Bluetooth built in.
While it’s not the most powerful device of it’s type, the Cubietruck does have a few tricks up it sleeve, including out-of-the-box support for both Google Android and Ubuntu Linux.
The Cubietruck is essentially a PC-on-a-board, which means it won’t come with a case. You can buy or build your own. At 4.3″ x 3.1″ the new computer has many input and output ports and space to build a case that can hold a 2.5″ hard drive or solid state disk.
The system has a microSD card slot, 2 USB ports, HDMI and VGA ports, a headphone jack, a SATA 2.0 interface, and extended pins which you can use for programming, debugging, or connecting peripherals.
Cubiesteam hasn’t announced a launch date or price yet.
