WHY GET A PANTERA PICO PC?

1. Small form factor

Small footprint requires very little work area and allows the user more desk space for other things. 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.

• Works as a game center too

For those times when you and your family want some casual gaming, the Pantera Pico PC has been tested to run game titles like Minecraft, CS Go!, and Half-Life 2.

• Drop-proof carrying case accesory

Since it is so small, we’ve designed an optional carrying case for you to protect your Pantera Pico PC while being transported.

Choice of EVA cases available as add-ons options during checkout.

• Dual-Channel Memory

Apps run faster, multi-tasking and switching between tasks is noticeably quicker compared to other computers with single-channel only memory.

• Abundant portable accessories ecosystem

From the portable PicoProjector, to folding keyboards and miniature mice, we have your tiny portable computing needs covered. The PicoPc + PicoProjector + PowerStation weigh around 30% less than the average laptop and are 1/6th the weight of the traditional desktop.  You can view our full accessories add-on offerings during check-out.

 Pantera Specs

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.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

THE PANTERA TIMELINE

We’ve worked relentlessly over the past year to produce a tiny desktop PC that will be your true portable computing companion for many years. We’ve already done a pilot production run and Pantera is ready to go into mass production.

HOW PANTERA CAME TO BE

The Pantera Story:

Pantera was a dream of ours for over 6 years. We saw the market for tiny desktop PC’s years ago, but we only had android TV box resources. Our team was busy with different marketing and development projects.

When the recent pandemic happened, people around the world were stuck at home.

The recent work and travel restrictions has shown us how computers and the internet played a role when many workers are forced to work from home. The demand for home computers and laptops have soared simply because most mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, that people already have, just aren’t built for the level of multi-tasking that a full computer offers.

As people have moved to online work, team meetings, and most businesses, these for-work devices are also often not shared among other family members who require powerful enough machines for online classes and the like.

So we set out to find a solution that will alleviate the demand for computers that are up to the task of work-from-home, web-meetings, and online classes, that does not require a lot of setup and is easily portable from one location to another when needed.

Thus, the Pantera Pico PC was born.

It is meant to fill the demand for desktop computers that are capable of doing many, if not all, the necessary tasks needed in this age. All without the high costs of laptops, without the complicated setup requirements, and physical footprint of a full tower build-your-own desktop PC.

 WHAT’S YOUR FLAVOR?

The Pantera comes in black, gunmetal grey, blue, red, purple, pink and gold.
