Why This Tiny Cube Might Be Your Next Office PC

Times are a changing...

One startup is reimagining the traditional business PC, and the result can be a useful new computing option for entrepreneurs.

Salt Lake City-based Xi3 Technologies has been quietly developing a computer that's roughly four inches by four inches, or about the size of a grapefruit. But what sets this gadget apart from other portable PCs is that the Xi3 splits the core functions of a traditional PC into three separate, easily replaceable components. Think of it as a high-tech equivalent to Ford's model T, which was considered so simple that anyone could repair it.

Each Xi3 device is made up of three separate modules: one for the processor, one for how the unit communicates on a network and a third for power. This means you can upgrade any of these components -- say, to swap out for a faster processor -- with little effort. Just unscrew the back panel, slide out the required part, put the hatch back on and you're done.

Being able to conveniently access individual parts of a computer allows users to upgrade the device as software needs change or when specific parts fail. Entry-level models cost $850 and come with 16 GB of memory built in. Expandable drives are optional and cost extra.

Here are some additional reasons the Xi3 just might find a place in your business:

I haven't used a desktop pc for office work since.. 2001 I guess. But I'd love it if they could make my gaming rig that size, it's taking up legspace haha

probably tough to get used to the 4 inch monitor that comes with it

I always like to have 1 desktop pc. I can sit at a desktop longer than if i'm on a laptop (for some reason), so for me it makes sense to always have a good working machine...

fucking fuckers, make all wifi connected and there will be no need for zillion wires, only power until they make wireless power plugs. That would be great to move monitor, keyboard and mouse where i want without any hassle
