The EQUAL 2018/1250

Exactly the same hardware - minus case and OS

What’s in there?

The “Equal” is exactly the same hardware as you would get in a Rag Mini 2018, just less money spent on the name and the expensive as shit case.

Note that this was made late 2019 - the prices found here don’t represent the state of the market in 2018, but the expensive POS is still being sold for 1250 bucks MSRP, so it was decided to put it up.

Changes to the hardware

Also, notice that we didn’t use the not-for-individual-sale mobile version of the i5, but rather, the freely purchasable, but more expensive desktop version. It has the same base and turbo clock frequency.

As always, we’ve substituted some parts for parts of different manufacturers with the same performance/clock/capacity.
