Tiny Tango PC can also be configured with Chromium OS, Ubuntu Linux pre-installed

By Konrad Krawczyk Published February 26, 2014

Tango PC, the small form factor desktop rig that can fit in the palm of your hand, was already an impressive concept based on the fact that, despite its size, it’ll be powered by desktop hardware while also booting to traditional desktop operating systems like Windows 7 and Windows 8. On top of that though, Tango also announced that Tango PC owners will also be able to configure their miniature desktop computer to ship with alternative operating systems like Chromium OS and Ubuntu Linux pre-installed.

Additionally, Tango informed us that configuring one of their dwarfish PCs with SteamOS is a possibility down the line. However, it can’t confirm this as a certainty since Valve has yet to begin a rollout of a licensing program for SteamOS.

The entry level $349 Tango PC nets you a box with the system, a docking station, an AMD A6-5200 2GHz quad-core processor, a 32GB SSD, 4GB of RAM, and a trial version of Windows 7. Upping to a Tango PC with the 64-bit flavor of Windows 7 brings the price of the unit to $449. As of this writing, there’s 9 days left in the Indiegogo campaign, which has shattered its $100,000 goal by collecting more than triple the targeted amount: $308,609 to be exact.

OpenAI’s new GPT-6.1 Terra model gets Astra-like results for one-tenth the price

The new model is designed to get through computer-based tasks quickly without sacrificing too much capability.

ChatGPT-6.1 Terra model launched

Nearly a month after announcing the GPT-6.1 Sol model, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra today. The latest addition to the family focuses on computer use, visual reasoning, coding, and professional work, while costing 50% less through the API than GPT-5.6 Terra.

OpenAI says Terra can handle everything from filling out browser forms and working inside spreadsheets to interpreting technical drawings and editing videos. The company says it can also complete computer-based tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.

ASUS is charging RTX 5090 money for Intel Arc, and your wallet may need a moment

ASUS prices its Intel Arc Pro B70 at nearly twice Intel’s original starting price

Intel Arc Pro B70

ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.

Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.

As Anthropic goes public, it warns of AI’s catastrophic and existential risks to humanity

The risks range from rogue AI behavior and cyberattacks to geopolitical instability and existential harm.

Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.

The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
