mini pc for ToriOS???

 

http://news.softpedia.com/news/CES-2015-Intel-Compute-Stick-Is-a-Back-Pocket-PC-That-Runs-Ubuntu-and-Windows-8-1-469384.shtml

tl;dr
the Linux version will be available for $89 (€75) and the Windows
variant will run for $149 (€126)

Atom Z3735F Quad Core processor, 1 GB of RAM for Ubuntu and 2 GB of RAM
for Windows, a 32GB eMMC storage solution (embedded Multi-Media
Controller similar to SSD, but smaller) for Windows and just 8 GB for
Ubuntu, and all the slots that you would need, including HDMI, USB,
micro USB, and space for a MicroSD card. Wi-fi and Bluetooth is also
provided.

my 2(insert smallest currency you have)
8GB is PLENTY for ToriOS.
The basic install is around 1-2Gig (still in flux because of testing
OEM-config stuff)
1 Gig RAM is tremendous and extremely powerful for Tori... 4 cores would
make this amazing.
Seriously, you could have a very capable system


Carry around ToriOS and use it in any TV.
USB connects to DVD drive.  you could pop your phone's microSD in to
save your documents and pictures.
If this works with a touchscreen monitor I will make a custom large Menu
to have giant icons like Unity/Gnome and a custom theme to have a large
app launcher on the side or bottom.  And add in the onscreen keyboard
and make a torios-touch package with everything included.
