ZTE today announced a new mini PC that’s small and lightweight enough to fit into a pocket named the Taichi Cloud Computer W100D.

The computer weighs just 55g, which makes it much lighter than the average smartphone (via My Drivers). While specifics haven’t been provided, the device appears to be solely cloud-based and works through a simple connection.

Being cloud-based means that its power consumption is extremely low, which in turn means it’s very environmental-friendly. The overall package size is tiny due to this very reason and it’s quite easy to use, is extremely cost-effective, and is very suitable for light usage scenarios like education and office work.

The ZTE mini PC comes with a Type-C port for power supply and supports ZTE. All data runs in a secure data center to ensure information security.

The only gripe with cloud computing is latency but ZTE claims that bandwidth is kept in the range of 100Kbps~20Mbps at all times to ensure a great user experience. The PC also makes use of a new technology called “low-code high-definition,” which guarantees an optimal experience even under poor quality networks.

The ZTE Taichi Cloud Computer W100D is joined by a similar offering from Ningmei, which can be purchased via Xiaomi Youpin. This one’s not a cloud computer but targets a similar market with its extremely compact size.
