The iBall Splendo is powered by an Intel Atom Quad-core processor that runs Windows 8.1 and has 2 GB RAM, alongside 32 GB inbuilt memory.
When connected to a TV, through its HDMI male plug, the device can turn the TV into a PC – complete with features including HD graphics, multi-channel digital audio, a micro SDXC slot, Normal USB port, Micro USB port, Wi-Fi, and inbuilt Bluetooth 4.0.
