Taiwanese vendor Acer on Thursday held a news conference at Computex to promote aBeing One, an upcoming miniature PC that will be sold to developers working in the IoT area. The small PC, which launch in the third quarter, has been designed to connect to smarthome and wearable products, and acts as a hub that can analyze incoming data from the devices.

Fabless semiconductor company, Marvell, and one of China’s top smart mobile ODM companies, Hipad, have teamed up with Acer to demonstrate how BYOC solutions embedded in Marvell’s chipset can be used to empower Hipad’s smart home devices. In addition, Canonical demonstrated its Snappy Ubuntu Core with Acer’s aBeing One smart center and open platform at Computex.

Acer is still producing PCs and notebooks, but with PC sales sagging and competition rife in the mobile devices area, the company has been shifting toward enterprise products.
