I've been wanting to try one of these out for quite some time now
This is the LattePanda
Now there is a new board from the LattePanda group
Coming very shortly but this is the original one that they came out with
In particular this is the four gigabyte of RAM 64 gigabyte of ROM storage
So in this video I'm just gonna have a little quick overview of what it is, what it can do and also
What my plans for this board are in the future, so stick around because it's TechWizTime
Hey guys Jonathan here with TechWizTime, where I create technology tutorial and review videos
In this video I'm gonna be looking at the LattePanda
Single board computer
Now what is interesting about this and sets it apart from the Raspberry Pi is that it is a full-blown Windows computer
So in particular it's got the 64 gigabytes of storage on board as well as 4 gigabytes of RAM
And this is all running based on an Intel z8300 CPU
So that's a quad-core 1.8 gigahertz CPU
Now it's got all the usual stuff on there like USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, it's also got a usb 3.0 port on board which is great
The other interesting thing is that you can install Windows 10 or linux on this board so
You've got access to a full library of Steam Games
In a sense, like gta 5, probably isn't gonna run that well on this because it's using the Intel HD GPU onboard
But in saying that a lot of indie games and a lot of emulation is going to run on this thing which brings me to my projects that I'm going to be running around this board
So there's a couple of things that I want to try out one of them was to put it inside of an arcade joystick or
If I can get my hands on one, a bar top arcade
Now the reason for this is because with its x86 CPU
Emulation is probably going to run a little bit better on this compared to a Raspberry Pi so
Having that extra power we're probably gonna be able to run a lot more games on this thing
And being so small as well this is gonna fit into a lot of those arcade sticks especially that
Well I've got one myself and there's also another company out there, Monster Joysticks
You may have seen the reviews on ETA Prime's channel and also Novaspirit's channel
They're a really cool kit where it's pretty much plug-and-play for a Raspberry Pi
I'm not sure how well it's gonna work with this board but I'm gonna have a chat with them and see if I can figure that out
Now it also has built-in Arduino on there as well so if you're looking at doing any sort of controlling of devices or anything like that, robotics, anything of that sort of nature
Then this has that on board as well, which is fantastic
But broken down the main reason that I'm looking at this board is for its Windows 10 capabilities
So while I'm at it well I'll also do in another video is I'll test out the actual capabilities of the USB port how fast it'll transfer, as well as the ethernet and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of course
So one other thing this doesn't actually come with the Windows 10 License which is a little bit of a downside, however there are so many places out there where you can get a cheap windows 10 Pro license, so
Really there's no point in including it I mean for an extra 20 bucks or so you can get yourself a fully licensed window for this machine
So do any of you guys out there have a LattePanda and had a play around with it? And got any cool projects that you want to share? Then leave me a comment down below and let me know because
Like i said i'm gonna be working with this a little bit over the next coming months and
I'd like to see what i can actually get out of it
So I know this wasn't a full-blown review I just wanted to get this out there because
I've got a lot of things that are going on at the moment I'm trying to get tutorials and all that sort of thing back into the channel
So this is just to get this out of the way show you what I've got and
Then I can start working on these tutorials and get more content out to you guys
