We are looking at a $99 price tag for the MinnowBoard Max, where the entire shebang has dropped its form factor to a mere 3.9” x 2.9″, now how about that? Consider the Raspberry Pi as a reference point which measures 3.37” x 2.21”. Intel’s MinnowBoard Max runs on an Atom E3800 (Bay Trail-I), and comes across as a full system-on-a-chip with a storage controller and Intel HD 400 graphics.
Apart from that, the MinnowBoard Max also prides itself in being one of the few 64-bit SBCs that offers out-of-the-box support for Android 4.4 and Linux operating systems, how about that for added flexibility? Do bear in mind that the $99 version would be the entry-level option that sports a single-core Atom and 1GB RAM, although those who have more spare change can fork out $129 for the dual-core model that has double the amount of RAM and will be available at launch as well.
