The MeegoPad T01 is a tiny PC embedded in HDMI key that has an Intel Atom Bay Trail processor, 2GB of RAM, and the full version of Windows 8.1. This computer of a new kind, blown by the mounted power HDMI Chromecast keys such as Google, or small keys that you can plug into a TV to run Android applications, retails for a whopping $ $ 100.
These devices like USB sticks, yet offer a HDMI connector, not USB, and are also thicker than traditional USB key.
Just plug the key into the HDMI port of a screen or a TV, connect it to a power source, and you have a desktop computer with the processing power of a Windows tablet 'entry. But what if you prefer to run Ubuntu? Well, thanks to a passionate you can do.

Ian Morrison recently received a unit of MeegoPad T01 (also known as an APM-D01) and s' is put to work trying to bring GNU / Linux for the small computer. So far, he has managed to turn Ubuntu 14.10, with full support of the Intel HD graphics and HD video playback on YouTube.
Morrison did not describe the measures taken to load Ubuntu on the device, but it is likely that the process is similar to what it takes to put Ubuntu on the Asus Transformer Book T100 and other Bay Trail devices powered by Windows. Generally, you must use a 64-bit version of Ubuntu with a bootloader in 32 bits.
As a reminder, the HDMI key has either an Intel Atom processor with Z3735F 1 GB of RAM or an Intel Atom Z3735G chip and 2GB of memory . You will respectively have support for a 32 bit and 64 bit. Options 16 and 32 GB eMMC are available, and you will have a port for micro SD card, two USB 2.0 ports microphone ports, a USB 2.0 standard port, Wi-Fi connectivity 802.11b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0 and an HDMI connector. The key measure 9.9 x 3.81 x 1.01 inch, and weighs about 45.35 grams.
While it's not the most elegant way to install an operating system, it may be better to wait to jump on such a release. Anyway, it seems that we are at the dawn of a new era in the age of the PC industry.
