Linux powered low cost PCs have been flooding the market, literally. The trend kick started with Raspberry Pi and was followed by a number of other options. This list refuses to die down and another option has made its way in the market- Great Wall U310! With a full-fledged PC into a keyboard case, the new U310 sells for as little as $239 and comes with Ubuntu Linux preloaded.
The PC-in-a-keyboard is being sold for $260 by Newegg. This is the price for a refurbished model. According to a Liliputing website, tucked into the keyboard case is a 1.8 GHz Intel Atom D525 dual core processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. The system uses Intel GMA 3150 graphics. It also features 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and built into the sides and back of the keyboard you’ll find a VGA port, 5 USB ports, mic and headphone jacks. There are also built-in speakers.
The PC-in-a-keyboard comes preloaded with Ubuntu Linux, but it is reportedly able to work with Windows XP, Windows 7, or Windows 8. This is not the first keyboard PC from the company. In 2010, the company had unveiled an integrated touchscreen LCD called the Great Wall Cross PC U510.
