The fit-PC Slim is a fanless low energy PC that’s about the size of a human hand (100mm x 110mm x 30mm), yet it contains an impressive 500MHz processor, 512MB DDR 333MHz memory, and a 60GB laptop hard drive! The computer is perfect for thin-client applications (where the server does most of the hard work) and for casual computer use (such as web browsing, word processing, email, etc).
The fit-pc has been designed with the environment in mind. It contains a lead-free circuit board and a recyclable aluminum case. The power consumption of this tiny computer is between 4 and 6 Watts! Which is less than an energy saving light bulb! With such a small power consumption, the fit-pc is ideal for applications where you need a computer switched on all the time, such as a firewall, router, home monitoring systems, a home automation system etc.
Despite the small size, it still has WiFi, USB 2.0 ports, a 100Mbps ethernet port, as well as support for sound with a headphone socket and microphone socket. So if you’re a light computer user, or you’ve always wanted to run a tiny home server, then the fit-pc is perfect! It’s pretty cheap too, costing around £250 in the UK, and around $200 in the US. Sadly us Brits pay a premium for being British!
