Asus Tinker Edge T - Unboxing

Unboxing the Asus Tinker Edge T (ATET).

It comes with an instruction manual, the ATET wrapped in an anti-static bag, and a metal backplate which can be used as an open air case.

It doesn't come with a charger, battery (which you'll need to power on the device) or USB-C cable (which you'll need to install the operating system sine it doesn't come with one).

The Asus Tinker Edge T is part of the Tinker Board Single Board Computer (SBC) family. However, this board that can perform Computer Vision Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning inference (i.e., Image Classification, Object Detection, Segmentation, Pose Estimation) with the same level of performance that you'd find in an expensive desktop computer. It can achieve this because it contains a special chip called an "Edge TPU" (Tensor Processing Unit) that specialises in calculating AI and Deep Learning algorithms which can also be found in a Google Coral Dev Board.
