Another low Power PC Joins the Party
Tagged with: computers
This one from fit-PC. The thing I really like about this one is the built in wireless. What’s the hardware:
CPU: AMD Geode LX800 500MHz Chipset: AMD CS5536 Display: Integrated Geode LX display controller up to 1920×1440 Memory: 512MB DDR 333MHz soldered on-board Hard disk: 2.5†IDE 60GB Ports:
RJ45 Ethernet port 100Mbps
WLAN 802.11b/g 54Mbps
3 x USB 2.0 HiSpeed 480Mbps
mini RS-232 (cable available from CompuLab)
VGA DB15
Stereo line-out audio (headphones)
Stereo line-in audio / Mic
The ever popular AMD Geode. I think these kind of computers will likely become the systems of the future for those that still buy physical boxes. As CDs become more of a thing of the past less people are having a need for them.
What’s even more impressive?
Power consumption: 4-6W
Another trend of computers we are seeing is lower power consumption. Even with more powerful CPUs like the latest from Intel and AMD we are seeing lower and lower power consumption. In fact when data centers started switching from Intel to AMDs for CPUs in their servers because of power consumption per processing power, Intel got the hint and they now make more efficient CPUs.
As with the other computers I have reported on, I wish I could get my paws on one.

Thanks for your visit to EnviroGadget.com. If you like low power PCs, take a look at the aleutia too. I’ve got one and it’s a lovely bit of kit.

Thanks for stopping by Dan, I appreciate it. I enjoyed reading your post on the fit-PC and gave me an idea for a topic.
I checked out your link, I am soooooo jealous of your Aleutia. As soon as I get the chance to pop some money on one of these small PCs I am totally going to do it!
