Wish you had your own personal supercomputer? Soon, you'll be able to buy one -- well, sort of.

Sorry LG: you may have trotted out the G2 mini yesterday, but yours won't be the first Tegra 4i device to hit store shelves. NVIDIA says that distinction belongs to the Wax, a newly-revealed handset from French phone maker Wiko that should launch in Europe "within weeks." We just spent a few frenz...

Is there a tablet-shaped hole in your life? Or maybe you're something of a collector? Either way, we have three Advent Tegra Note 7's sitting here looking for a good home.

Jealous of your friends' phones packing NVIDIA chips and the access to TegraZone that they enjoy?
