PlanetPC XR mini PC dramatically fails to meet crowdfunding goals (Linux PC with ARM-based processor and integrated touch panel)
The PlanetPC XR Series is a compact desktop computer with an ARM-based processor, Ubuntu Linux software, plenty of ports and storage options. There’s also an unusual touch panel on the front that can be used to control some of the PCs functions or display information.
There’s just one catch: it’s unclear if you’ll ever actually be able to get your hands on one. Planet Computers showed off prototypes of the XR Series at Mobile World Congress in February and launched a crowdfunding campaign to help raise the money to bring the PC to market. But only 14 people backed the campaign and it raised less than 1% of its funding goal.
