CUPP’s PunkThis graduates to tablets, earns a degree in security (hands-on video) (Engadget)
Remember CUPP Computing’s PunkThis board we played with at Computex 2011? It’s
now left the confines of its 2.5-inch hard drive form-factor and jumped ship
from a standard Asus netbook to a Core i5-equipped Eee Slate EP121, taking
residence alongside the tablet’s battery. As a refresher, PunkThis puts a
complete ARM-based system into an x86 computer by replacing the SATA HDD with
a single core 1GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 3730 processor, 512MB RAM and WiFi,
along with a mini-PCIe socket for SSD storage, plus connectors for the hosts
video, audio and USB interfaces. While CUPP computing is still working hard to
make PunkThis commercially available for tech-savvy individuals, it acquired
Israeli security company Yoggie last July and built this demo machine to
attract another kind of customer.
The tablet we tested was running Windows 7 Home Premium and Android 2.3.4
simultaneously, and was equipped with an additional button for switching
between x86 and ARM modes. Since the Asus EP121 already uses a mini-PCIe SSD
instead of 2.5-inch SATA storage, a prototype PunkThis board was designed to
fit alongside a modified battery. Gingerbread didn’t break a sweat supporting
both the 1280×800-pixel capacitive touchscreen and pen-based Wacom digitizer
thanks …
