CompuLab is updating its Utilite line of tiny, low-power desktop computers. The new Utilite2 is 30 percent smaller than last year’s Utilite. But the company says the new model offers up to twice the performance, thanks to a more powerful processor.

The Utilite2 can run Ubuntu or Android software, has fanless aluminum case, and features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor. It should be available for purchase this month.

The little computer measures 3.4″ x 2.3″ x 1.1″ and uses between 3W and 8W of power. It features 2GB of RAM, 4GB of built-in storage and support for up to 128GB of removable storage thanks to a microSDXC card slot as well as mSATA SSD support for up to 512GB of additional storage.

The Utilite2 features Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, 4 USB 2.0 ports, a micro USB OTG port, line out and line in audio jacks, and HDMI output.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet.
