Pipo W5 is a windows 8 tablet that costs 199 euro and features a small 8 inch display with 1280 x 800 resolution. The highlight of Pipo W5 is its support for stylus input.

Pipo W5 tablet specifications include Intel Atom Z3735G quad core 1.83 GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB eMMC flash memory, two cameras (5 / 2 megapixel cameras) and a battery with capacity of 4500 mAh.

The Pipo W5 costs about 899 Yuan in China which is about 120 euros in Europe. However we are pretty sure it will retail at much higher cost in European shops if it ever makes a debut here.

The new Windows 8.1 with Bing has definitely allowed the Microsoft to gain some market share in the tablet arena and with devices like Pipo W5, there is little its rivals will be able to do. Windows allows users to do so much more on the move. There are no compatibility issues and you can even connect your scanners and printers with them easily since you can use the existing x86 / x64 drivers with them.  

Shuttle XH97V and DS437T are the two bare bone mini computers that retail for less than 250 euros. Both have good configurability and high expandability which make them perfect for small and home office. This is how it looks like.

Here is a pictures from the back.

Shuttle DS437T Review

The more compact but also the less powerful of the two is the Shuttle DS437T which measures 200 x 165 x 39.5 mm and weighs mere 1.43 kilograms. It is very compact and has volume of mere 1.3 liters. Featuring a completely passive cooling system, it offers a dual-core Intel Celeron 1037U generation processor that is based on Ivy Bridge architecture. The CPU has TDP of 17W and a clock rate of 1.8 GHz.

The Shuttle DS437T can be configured with up to 16 gigabytes of memory and both DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1600 are supported. For storage there is space for single SATA III 2.5 inch disk. Despite its small size it offers a large number of ports. There are a total of 8x USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, DVI video outputs, SD card reader, audio jacks for headphones and earphones and a RJ-45 Ethernet jack for LAN. For connectivity you get the trusty old Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n Wi-Fi. The Shuttle DS437T is already available on the market at a recommended retail price of 234 euro.

Shuttle XH97V Review

For those who have a little more available space should go for the Shuttle XH97V which offers more performance and flexibility. You can configure it with any Haswell processor that includes Celeron, Pentium, Core i3, i5 and i7 fourth generation CPUs with maximum TDP of 65 watts. The Shuttle XH97V measures 240 x 200 x 72 mm with a volume of 3.5 liters and weight of 2.2 kilograms. There are two RAM slots which can be used to equip the system with up to 16 gigabytes of DDR3-1600 memory. For storage there are a total of three units thus giving the user a lot more flexibility when it comes  to storage. The drives can be configured in RAID configuration as well.

Connectivity and ports selection in Shuttle XH97V is same as DS437T. It is already on sale for 235 euros including VAT in Europe.
