Finnish computer maker Solu is starting a Kickstarter to make a new mini computer with a touch screen that runs Linux with an innovative UI on an NVidia ARM Tegra K1 CPU.

And being able to be used with its own screen or used as a trackpad for a desktop is really innovative. I am really looking forward to seeing how they develop this one. This unit is battery powered and can drive a 4K display! The new Linux OS is called SoluOS.

The unit has a quad core Tegra (that's four ARM cores) and 192 CUDA cores in its GPU package with 4GB of RAM which is pretty good for a unit of this size, and a 32GB SSD.
