    WEll, cooling I think because it's so small they could prob get away with one 40mm well placed fan.

    @ Expeto Theire Special tech is that they have their own proprietary interchangeable parts bud. It's not exactly any kind of ATX format in there you know.

    You put it in a sock, and swing it around when using it.

    Liquid cooled is possible if you go jogging for an hour before placing the PC in the sock.

    I'll bet they're using the extruded aluminum housing as a heatsink, all passive, no fans.

    Your phone has no active cooling and this thing is more of an amped up phone than a scaled down PC.

    Not so new. It was released in June. Its baseline config ought to blow away even the fastest Xi3, it's much cheaper and runs any OS.
