Low-grade ARM or MIPS computer for office use in future

In the near future, low-grade ARM or MIPS computer for office use will be came out.
In essence, the low-grade ARM or MIPS computer will be a low-grade all-in-one PC.
The low-grade ARM or MIPS computer will be very popular in many developed countries in future, such as: many European countries, Canada, South Korea, Taiwan (Republic of China) etc., and it can reduce the cost of office equipment.
Features of the low-grade ARM or MIPS computer:
1 Will use public version of the PCB board designing scheme. And the shell use public mold scheme. So can greatly reduce the cost.
2 The main chip scheme will be same as low-grade tabletpc.
3 Will use single core or dual core CPU, or more higher performance CPU, the instruction set will be ARM or MIPS.
4 If use single core CPU, at least have 768MB DDR3 RAM. If use dual core CPU, will have 1GB DDR3 RAM at least. If use more higher performance CPU, have 1.5GB or 2GB DDR3 RAM.
5 At least have 4GB eMMC.
6 Usually have 4* USB2.0 port, many of have one USB2.0 and eSATA 2 in 1 port,
have a SDcard reader,
have a micro USB port for DC 5V power supply, transport data and brush firmware (USB slave mode),
have a 10~100Mbps Ethernet port,
have a 3.5mm 2 channel audio output port, and a 3.5mm microphone port,
have a VGA video output port,
have a power button and a reset button
7 All have a LCD screen (true color, LED backlight, LVDS interface), have these size:
12inch (4:3, 1024*768 resolution, the most common size.)
These size LCD screen of computer for cashier use, Queue Management System etc. only (not for office use):
7inch or 8inch(widescreen, 800*480 resolution), 7inch or 8inch(4:3, 800*600 resolution), 10inch(4:3, 1024*768 resolution, or widescreen 1024*600 resolution)
! All of the computer's manufacturers, will provide the LCD screen's driver (LCD screen config file). When user want to install anyother Linux operating system to the computer, user can integrate the LCD screen's driver to the operating system.
8 Pre-installed a Linux release edition (such as: Ubuntu, Debian etc.) and Android two operating systems. For Android, the version will be Android 4.4.4 or newer version, and have "Root". User also can install some other Linux operating system to the computer. This feature will be same as low-grade tabletpc and set-top-box.
9 Some of will have video capture function, have a 3.5mm YCbCr and CVBS video input port, can capture YCbCr or CVBS video. Some of not have video capture function.
10 The cost of the low-grade ARM or MIPS computer will be very cheap. The price of it will be nearly same or a few higher than low-grade tabletpc.
11 In future, the sales volume of the Low-grade ARM or MIPS computer in many developed countries will be very high. Many companies will buy and use it for easily office use. Many reception of restaurant, western restaurant, hotel, bar, shop, hospital etc., and middle supermarket or small supermarket, fast food restaurant, coffee bar etc., will also like to use it.
Because the low-grade ARM or MIPS computer will be very cheap, can save more cost than low-grade x86 PC, and it can save power supply than low-grade x86 PC.
12 It also can be used as ATM (Automatic Teller Machine), Queue Management System, many kinds of Self-service equipment etc.
13 But in all of less developed countries, the low-grade ARM or MIPS computer will not have sell.

The low-grade ARM or MIPS computer also can be used as cash register. If be used as a cash register, all have more than 4* USB2.0 port, and can be optional installation these function:
1 customer display
2 resistive touch screen

But for cash register, ATM, or other professional use, will have been pre-installed a Linux release (desktop edition ,such as: Ubuntu etc.) only, not have been pre-installed Android.

For office or home use:



Used as cash register:
