Meet the 5-Watt, Tiny, fit–PC

ThinSkin writes "Meet the fit-PC, a tiny 4.7 x 4.5 x 1.5-inch PC that only draws 5-watts, consuming in a day less power than a traditional PC consumes in one hour. By today's standards, the fit-PC has very little horsepower, which makes it apt for web browsing and light applications; today's games need not apply. Loyd Case over at ExtremeTech reviews the fit-PC and puts it through its paces, noting that performance is not this PC's strength, but rather its small size and price tag of $285."

Uses the case for cooling, huh?

I wonder how it'd work if you wrapped it in plastic, stuck it in a bucket of ice, and overclocked it?

It has half the processor too.

I'm Depressed

Man I'm depressed now. This thing has higher specs then my laptop!

True, my laptop's 5 years old. But STILL! I'm now in the process of trying to talk my wife into letting me upgrade.

BTW: yes, works great for going online and writing non-graphical programs. (web sites, CLI) But useless for most action games. Tomb Raider plays fine on it though.

Imagine a whole Beowulf cluster of these!

Aaah, that explains why Linux is so big here ;D

The line appears to be: if there's a chance anyone anywhere made a buck from something, it's gotta be evil.

Aaah, that explains why Linux is so big here ;D

And why sex is speaken of so rarely.

Comrade! We have detected you using mathematics and logic to stop an anti-Apple tirade! Please be advised: this is Slashdot. Apple sells only massively overpriced hardware. Pointing out that Apple sells something equivalent to its actual value, instead of the fantasy-land price that internet geeks believe it should cost (id est, free) is double-plus-ungood. We here at the Ministry for Nerdy Indignation hope that you will reconsider your eminently logical position and join with us in our outrage that Apple does not price their products at Mom's Basement prices. Thank you.

Windows Vista?

(C'mon Slashdot, it falls to me, by /. standards a MS fanboy (though not really), to make an anti-MS joke about Vista HW requirements? Clearly this site has peaked. ;-))

Your server has a monitor? How quaint :-)
