- 1-Bit is offering the most young classic Mac on the rainbow market
- It has a two -inch display and is powered by a pico zero raspberry pie.
- You can only buy a fully assembled unit for $ 59
You must have heard the phrase “Small Form-Factor PC” to describe computers that are smaller than the average rig, but one has taken only the SFFPC concept to a new level with a working Mac that allows a display to measure just two inches beyond.
Dubbed appropriately Pico-Mack-NanoThis small computer of 1-Bit Rainbow has a 3D printed chassis that rewrits the classic macintosh look since the 1980s, though on a minute scale.
Inside, the device is powered by a pico zero raspberry pie, while it packs some uncomfortable readings in a two-inch 480p display, plus 512MB memory, a microSD card slot for storage and a three-volt CR2 battery. It runs Micromac 128k emulator, which provides the vintage mac operating system flavor. This means that it is a perfectly working computer, although it is really practical There is another case.
You can buy a fully assembled pico-nano for only $ 59 (approximately £ 44 / AU $ 92). Alternatively, 1-bit rainbow has supplied 3D printing files if you want to print your own case and flash a regular pico raspberry pie yourself.
Even a special Collector’s Edition Pico-Mack-Nano which comes in a small scale replication of Apple’s original ‘Picasso’ Macintosh Shipping Box. This version will set you back a minor $ 78 (or approximately £ 58 / AU $ 122).
A true small form-factor mac
As is someone who loves both a SFFPC and a Mac, I am always monitoring attractive projects that can bridge the gap between the two worlds.
This device, however, can take it far away for me too. I can’t imagine that I will be able to run many best Mac games on it – no problem “can it go on Crishan?, “Maybe we should ask” can it run a chess? ,
Nevertheless, there is no doubt that this product is an incredible achievement and shows what can be done with modern hardware and software. Whether you want to print it yourself 3D or not, you are still getting your hands on a clean -drying short project that creates a loyal node for the old Mac.
Therefore, if Miniscule M4 Mac Mini is not quite small for you, perhaps Pico-Mac-Nano will trick. Just don’t expect that this is to handle the big language model of Deepsek R1 soon at any time.
