Well, ark.intel.com lists the Atom x5-Z8350 as "products formerly Cherry
Trail".

Something cheap and cheerful as a portable to play on - there wasn't
enough information available online to determine whether it would be
usable outside Windows.  Aldi's "no questions" returns policy was one
of the things that swayed me to try it.  It was AUD249 but I've found
something by "Pendo" for AUD229 that looks like it came off the same
production line.

I hadn't realised just how weird the insides of some "PC compatible"
computers had become.
