...a group called ZeroDesktop wants to offer a $99 mini-computer
called the MiiPC. It looks like a tiny desktop computer (because
that's what it is), and ZeroDesktop is positioning it as a PC for
kids.
[...]
The idea is to provide both a little computer and a companion mobile
app for parents. Connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor and the MiiPC
basically functions as an Android-powered computer. It supports
multiple user accounts, internet video, and should come with bundled
apps including Kingsoft Office and Splashtop2.

...1.2 GHz Marvell Armada dual-core ARMv7 processor and 1GB of RAM.
The machine also has 4GB of built-in storage, an SD card slot for
extra storage, and built-in 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. It has 2
USB 2.0 ports, speaker and mic jacks, and HDMI and Ethernet ports.
