The latest product to enter the BIOSTAR’s RACING series is a compact mini-PC with a volume of only 0.29L. The BIOSTAR RACING P1 mini-PC is a pocket-sized PC that is small and light-weight enough to bring anywhere. In addition to its portability, the RACING P1 has the signature VIVID LED DJ to enable customisation similar to its motherboard counterparts.

The company claims that “for the person always-on-the-go, a laptop may be a saviour but in a BYOD environment, nothing can beat the efficiency of a keyboard and mouse. A tablet may be portable but long-term usage and the lack of expansion ports limits its actual function.” The BIOSTAR RACING P1 aims to solve all this by serving as a way to make the PC accessible, usable and portable to get the benefits of the platform without making sacrifices in performance, space or budget.

The BIOSTAR RACING P1 mini-PC features an Intel Z8350 quad-core processor with clock-speeds up to 1.92G with a maximum TDP of only 2W allowing the BIOSTAR RACING P1 to operate without a fan, hence the operation is silent.

The RACING P1 has carbon-fibre styling and, with its curved edges, doesn’t follow the classic design that traditional mini-PCs employ. The VIVID LED DJ has been adopted directly into the RACING P1 and additionally BIOSTAR has enabled the use of the 5050 LED strips for use with the RACING P1 directly via the onboard front header. Control how your LED strip and RACING P1 LEDs function with full control via the VIVID LED DJ software.

The BIOSTAR RACING P1 is portable and compatible with standard VESA mounts allowing it to be mounted on compatible monitors and displays for a complete, all-in-one solution with minimal clutter.

Full 64GB of internal storage allows adequate space for operating system files and documents and 6-USB slots plus a microSD card reader allows complete expandability for storage.
