Smallest PC
 |
I’m fully aware of phones and mp3 players and other hand-held devices that have versatile cpu and roomy storage capacities(linux on PSP?). But I didn’t want to show some gimmicky novelty item and claim, “It can be used as a PC”. Sure, you could take a bath in a swimming pool, but that just isn’t the same thing.
I wanted to find the smallest desktop system being sold in stores. Here are what I came across:
The cube is being manufactured for NASA and space programs in few other countries.
It does linux and has 0.34 Ghz CPU.
The dimensions are: 2 x 2 x 1.8 inch.
Takes DC 5V… no word on how much power it consumes.
Okay maybe the cube isn’t exactly great for mainstream users.
The router-looking device pulls off 1.6 Ghz (intel atom) and plays 1080P H264 video smoothly.
The dimensions are: 4 x 4.5 x 1.05 inch.
Consumes 8W at full CPU load.
