Piccolo 2 n 1 Mini Laptop Description:
Introducing the 2025 Intel N150 8-inch 2-in-1 Mini Laptop!
The Piccolo Series81x is an 8-inch 2-in-1 mini Laptop. Series81x is powered by an 3.6Ghz Intel N150 CPU. The N150 CPU provides around 10% increased performance over it's predecessor, the 3.4Ghz N100.
With a TDP of 15w, it can perform better than the N100's 12W TDP. We've optimized both the BIOS and the operating system for maximum boost performance out of the box.
This 8" netbook doubles as an 8" tablet PC, hence, its name "2 n 1."
The Piccolo N150 Series81x has a premium build. Boasting an all-aluminum housing, it has a matte finish giving it a premium feel. The hinges that are connecting the screen are premium and won't break easily, like other swivel netbooks on the market.
Piccolo's IPS screen resolution is 1920*1200, which is higher than most competitors' 1200*800 screens.
Select the optional "EVA carry case with neoprene pouch" during checkout, to protect your 8-inch mini Laptop while on the go.
