Model B 4GB
The latest iteration of the tiniest budget PC continues to
impress us with its improved performance—now boasting
a proper internal infrastructure that gives you plenty of
bandwidth for gigabit networking and USB 3 interfaces, as
well as support for dual displays at up to 4K. This 4GB model
is great for use as a desktop PC, although cheaper 1GB and
2GB models are also available. Check out this month’s feature
on page 34 for plenty of Raspberry Pi 4 projects.

Helios 700
So, you want to play the latest AAA games,
but you also need the machine in question
to be portable? You’ll want to put the
Helios 700 on your wishlist, then. It’s not
cheap, and it’s not exactly subtle, either,
but it does pack some serious hardware
into its clever chassis (the keyboard slides
down for extra cooling): GeForce RTX 2080,
Core i9-9980HK, 144Hz 1080p display, and
64GB of RAM. This is a beast of a machine,
in every sense of the word.
