Unlike its desktop tower counterparts, the Pantera Pico PC is small and ultra-light; it fits in the palm of your hand. So small, that you can put it in your bag and barely notice that it’s even there. Having a tiny shell also means that it requires less power to run, and in fact, it can run on a 12V power bank.
Body dimensions: 6.9cm wide x 6.9cm deep x 5.3cm high

Windows and Linux compatibility
Pantera Pico PC is fully compatible with 64-bit operating systems. Windows 10 runs perfectly smooth and runs happily with nary a hiccup. And since many Linux-based operating systems are lightweight, the Pantera Pico PC is perfectly capable of running popular Linux distributions. We have tested and used Ubuntu Desktop, Linux Mint, along with other Linux distributions, all without issues.

It’s the perfect device for the office, or for work-from-home setups
Pantera Pico PC is the perfect solution for the demand for low-cost office productivity computers. It is capable of being a work-from-home device, for web-meetings, and online classes. It does not require a lot of setup and is easily portable from one location to another when needed.
Hardly even half the price of a regular laptop, it’s a computer that fits in your pocket quite nicely.

It’s a home entertainment center
Watch your movies on your big 4K TV that you recorded yourself or someone else, browse family pictures, even play your music. Coupled with a good internet connection, the Pantera Pico PC can function as a great
media-streaming device. You and your family can watch movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, making it a versatile home entertainment device.

It is Windows 11 ready
Microsoft has announced their latest requirements for PCs to be compatible with the latest version of their operating system, Windows 11, and Pantera Pico PC meets and exceeds them. You can rest assured that when Win11 rolls out, you know this device is upgradeable to it when you choose to.

User-expandable storage
Storage can be added using the MicroSD card slot in front, or a more permanent solution is by swapping out the SSD with a larger capacity one. We highly suggest that you purchase Pantera in the SSD capacity larger than what you first think you need, as files can really quickly take up space.

More USB ports than the competition
You can plug in as many as 4 USB peripheral devices on the Pantera Pico PC. It has 3x USB3.0, two of which are located in the front, 1x USB3.0 and 1x USB2.0 at the back. Enjoy blazing fast transfer rates on 3 out of 4 ports, when you need them.

Ultra Silent Active Cooling System
The ultra quiet fans are engineered to be silentso that you enjoy more of the movies and TV series without being bothered with the usual fan noise most computers have. We made sure the heat-sink is robust to dissipate heat from the processor and away from the device, to keep your Pantera performing at its best at all times.

Large 360-degree LED power indicator
The Pantera Pico PC features a LED lighted strip that wraps around the top lid that can be seen from all directions. This 360-degree-viewable LED strip is helpful since the Ultra Silent Active Cooling System’s fan is so silent, you need to have a way of finding out if the computer is running or not.

4K UHD via HDMI output
Connect your 4K monitor or 4K TV and enjoy up to 60 frames per second for that buttery smooth video. Especially when using the Pantera Pico PC as a media streaming device, having UHD resolution capability brings you clear crisp visuals.

TINY MIGHTY PC
Tower desktop computers take up a big portion of your desk space, Pantera Pico PC is designed specifically to be as small as possible while still retaining many capabilities of its gargantuan cousins. The Pantera measures a mere 2.63 x 2.63 x 2.1 inches (67 x 67 x 53 millimeters), and weighs just 0.39 pounds. The outer shell is made from a single block of aluminum, CNC-milled and hard- anodized for the perfect finish, and only the top and bottom are made of durable plastic. It has no problem being carried around in your jacket pocket.

THE PROCESSOR
Despite the Pantera’s diminutive size, there is plenty of power under the hood. That power is provided for by the highly-efficient quad-core Intel Celeron J4125 chip, and is very much capable of multi-tasking, the biggest requirement in today’s productivity work.
Things like working on presentations, documents, and browsing the web, can be done with perfect ease on the Pantera Pico PC. Video is handled by the Intel UHD graphics which outputs a maximum of 60 frames per second of 4K video.

MEMORY AND SSD STORAGE
The Pantera Pico PC uses 2 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, for a total of 8GB, running in dual-channel memory configuration that significantly doubles the data transfer speed by adding one more channel of communication between the memory and the memory controller. What does that mean for you? Having the RAM configured in dual-channel mode means twice as fast accessing of programs stored in memory, your apps are more responsive, switching between tasks is also twice as fast, and many more performance benefits compared to a computer with only a single- channel RAM configuration.

Inside the Pantera is an M.2 2242 SSD for storing your operating system and files. Choose the storage size you need, Pantera comes in options ranging from 64GB up to a maximum of 1 Terabyte so you can store all your documents, presentations, videos, photos and everything else you might want to keep.
What’s more is that you can expand the storage capacity by adding in a MicroSD card via the front slot, or use your card for transferring files from your DSLR, action camera, or mobile phone to your Pantera with absolute ease.

WIRED OR WIRELESS, WE GOT YOU COVERED.
When we first put our wishlist of things that need to go into the Pantera Pico PC, we thought of everything possible to keep the balance between functionality, style, power, I/O ports, and of course, connectivity, all while keeping the small form factor the smallest possible.

Pantera has 4 USB Ports around the shell, 2 USB3.0 in front for super fast transfers and ease of access, 1 USB3.0 and 1 USB2.0 at the back. Flash drives, external hard drives and other devices can move data without the long wait time.
It uses dual-WiFi 6 for better wireless connection to a wireless router. It sports Bluetooth 5.1 for your wireless peripherals like wireless keyboards, mouse, earphones, headphones, game controllers, and so much more, with minimal latency that current technology can give. Attach a multi-purpose hub to add even more functionality and the Pantera Pico PC will be happy to take them all in.
Got a wired microphone or headset? No problem. We made sure that the Pantera has a combo speaker/mic port, found at the back right between the USB ports.

ULTRA SILENT ACTIVE COOLING
Having a processor capable of multitasking means it will be generating heat, which needs to be managed to keep the Pantera working at optimal levels every time. We created the Pantera to have an ultra silent active cooling system so that aside from moving the heat away from the unit, you won’t be bothered with the common fan noise that plagues many computers. At just 19dB, you can watch your movies’ silent parts in peace.

YOUR CHOICE OF OPERATING SYTEM
Get your Pantera with Windows 10, or install the Linux of your choice. We’ve tested it to work with many Linux-based distributions like Ubuntu and Linux Mint, our top favorites so far.
