Following on from the launch of the Libre Computer
Renegade mini PC last year, the company has now unveiled its new mini PC in the
form of the Libre Computer Renegade Elite taking the form of a single board
mini PC equipped with a RK3399 processor.
Featuring a Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core processor with
two ARM Cortex-A72 CPU cores, four ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores supported by
quad-core ARM Mali-T860 graphics and 4GB of RAM. The new mini PC will offer a
more powerful system that should be capable of running Android Oreo software or
GNU/Linux-based operating systems with the Linux 4.19 mainline kernel or later,
or a Rockchip-specific build featuring kernel version 4.4 or later, says Brad
Linder from the Liliputing website.
Connections and ports on the Libre Computer Renegade
Elite mini PC include a handy microSD card slot, eMMC 5.x interface for
storage, as well as HDMI 2.0 port, Gigabit Ethernet, 3 x USB 2.0 Type-A ports,
2 x USB 3.0 Type-C ports, including one with power delivery support.

Computer, but as soon as information comes to light, we will keep you updated
