The [LattePanda](http://www.lattepanda.com/products/) is a complete single board ‘desktop’ computer the size of a wallet, it’s runs it’s own copy of Windows 10 and cost between $100 and $135 depending on which of the two models you purchase. I’m not tech savvy, but would like to purchase this for a gift if it can also run Firaxis’ [Civilization IV](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS671US671&hl=en-US&ei=qrVIWOTQD8bUjwPzj5ngDQ&q=civilization+vi+requirements&oq=civilization+vi+requirements&gs_l=mobile-gws-serp.3..0l2j0i22i30k1.55225.58287.0.58465.13.13.0.1.1.0.144.1619.0j13.13.0....0...1c..64.mobile-gws-serp..0.13.1528...0i67k1.Zia5h82X9aY#imgrc=qsiEJ8dPYVaJ9M%3A) Can it? ---

Civ 4, probably (you had a typo, I think). Civ 6, probably not. Those CPUs can barely run Civ 5. The Atoms are Intel’s lowest CPU class. But you can gift them a copy of FreeCiv: [http://www.freeciv.org/](http://www.freeciv.org/) ---

Atoms are slow as hell. ---

**Moderator Action** Let’s move this to the Game Room (from GQ) since that’s where the gamers who know about system requirements tend to hang out. ---

Something is not right here. Windows 10 Home costs $90 OEM. Yet they are claiming that the $119 LattePanda includes “pre-activated full edition of Windows 10”. > **[LattePanda V1 - The Smallest Windows 10 Single Board Computer with Win10 Home...](https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1405.html)** > > LattePanda V1 a pocket-sized embedded X86 SBC based on Intel Cherry Trail Z8350. Integrated onboard Arduino co-processor. Support Windows 10 & Linux OS. This model contain Win10 Home License (2GB/32GB). Either this is pirated windows or it’s not really “full” windows. I suspect they are actually including the free Windows 10 IoT Core. > **[Windows for IoT](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/)** > > Windows IoT product offerings and developer overview But actually the CPU on this is not that slow. Here’s a youtube of someone running FarCry on a tablet with the same processor.
