ExtremeTech
have reviewed a tiny, Linux-powered PC that has a smaller footprint than a
paperback and sips a mere 5W of power. Dubbed the fit-PC, the system is the
brainchild of Israeli embedded board manufacturer CompuLab. It is based on AMD's
500MHz Geode LX-800 processor, and it includes 256MB of DDR RAM, a 40GB 2.5"
hard drive, dual 100Mbps Ethernet ports, two USB ports, two audio jacks, RS-232
port (RJ-11), and a graphics controller (VGA) capable of driving a display with
a resolution up to 1920x1440. CompuLab managed to cram that hardware into an
enclosure measuring just 120 x 116 x 40mm, or 4.7" x 4.6" x 1.6", and the
company sells the machine for $285.
