No Its Not a Router : Cerberus INDIEGOGO - The Mini PC


By on Wednesday, March 05, 2014

The Desktop market has recently seen lot of changes. While Laptops are being replaced by Tablets, PCs are being replaced by All in one or boxes with really small form factor. Small is the new bug currently in the PC market. There is greater demand for Computers which take up less space and can be hooked to a HDTV and can also be used for editing spreadsheets if required. We have recently seen companies like Alienware and Lenovo making the shift towards smaller form factor. If you are one of those who does not have too much space at your house, you would love this device.

Cerberus INDIEGOGO - The mini PC


If you take a close look at the device, you might think that this is a router. But do not let the looks fool you. It is a fully functional Computer.
