“We are proud to add the CuBox Pro to our product line. We believe many of our customers will benefit from the extra memory size regardless of what application they use their CuBox Pro for. Our customers will also notice that the power consumption of the new design is not impacted at all, which was a very important target for us,” said Kossay Omary, chief executive, SolidRun in a Venture Beat report.
Available in two versions, the CuBox Pro is priced at $159, while the 1 GB CuBox version sells for $139. This tiny computer can display full high-definition video, running at 1080p, that too at just three watts of power. You can use it as a home media center, thin client, XBMC console or even a simple, tiny desktop computer.
