Making our current desktop PC look like Billy Bunter after a weekend’s feasting with Fatty Arbuckle at the Donut Factory is CompuLab’s super-bijou fit-PC2i desktop PC.
Weighing only 13 ounces and a mere slip of a thing at 4- x 4.5- x 1.05-inches, the impossibly small PC is powered by an Intel Atom Z5xx CPU (from 1.1GHz to 2GHz) and can happily purr along on a full version of Windows 7.
Irad Stavi, Director of Business Development at CompuLab, grabbed the mic:
fit-PC2 was a breakthrough in green computing …now fit-PC2i enables corporate IT unprecedented energy savings where it matters most – in servers and network computers that have to work 24/7
The pint-sized PC can accommodate up to up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, wedge in a 2.5-inch HDD, and comes with audio in/out ports, onboard WiFi plus four USB 2.0 ports.
Hewn from a 100 percent aluminium die-cast body, this little puppy is an energy efficient as they come, pulling a mere 8 watts at full pelt.
It’s expected to be hitting the market in January 2010, with pricing yet to be announced.
