Meet the 5-Watt, Tiny, fit–PC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the where-the-watts-aren't dept.

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."

    It's a strange coincidence that the things that geeks enjoy reading about are often products.
