Every once in a while, you want some space on your desk and you wish your desktop PC was smaller. The Fit-PC Slim may be the smallest computer of all, as it measures 4.3 x 3.9 x 1.2 inches. Not only is it the smallest, but it might be the most energy efficient yet as it uses only 6 watts of power. It weighs in at a light 13 ounces. So what is inside it? It has processor of an AMD Geode LX800 500MHz, 512MB RAM, plus the option of a 2.5 hard drive. The Fit-PC is set up for Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, and for VGA output. You should be able to do a little bit of email, web browsing, or word processing, but it will probably remind you back in the days of old school IBMs. (Read the full post about ‘Fit PC Slim is World’s Smallest Computer’…)

The Recycle USB flash drive you see here is on Mother Nature’s side, as the entire exterior case is made up of recycled newspaper. Unfortunately, INF Import did not care to mention just how much storage space it holds, so hopefully they’ll come in a wide range instead of being limited at just 2GB or 4GB. I suppose once you have no use for this (or left it to swim in the washing machine by accident), there is no harm in throwing this away at the nearby recycling center since it adheres to the “dust to dust” concept.

We already know so many details about the Asus N10 since its specs sheet was leaked not so long ago. A product listing at the J&R online store even appeared after the leaked specs sheet. But no official announcement has came out from Asus, until now. Asus Taiwan has officially announced not just the N10 notebook, but a family of N-Series notebooks comprising of the N10, N20, N80 and N50 models. Featuring the “highly-efficient Super Hybrid Engine,” these notebooks are supposed to be able to preserve battery life up to 35%.  That 35% is “subject to system configuration.” All four new notebooks come with the Express Gate operating system that starts up in 8 seconds to do common tasks such as Internet browsing and listening to music without booting into the full operating system.  Asus has also put in a facial recognition system which eliminates the need to login using a keyboard.

Wish your desktop PC didn’t take up so much real estate on your desk? Well you can’t get much smaller than this noiseless, energy efficient, world’s smallest computer made by Compulab called the fit-PC Slim - that is, at least for now. The fit-PC Slim measures a petite 4.3 x 3.9 x 1.2 inches and sips energy by using just 6 watts of power to run. Driven by a 500MHz AMD Geode LX800 with a 256MB or a 512MB memory configuration, it may not be the fastest PC on the block, but if space issues are your major concern, you certainly can’t overlook this computer. The fit-PC Slim can come fully loaded with Ethernet, 3 USB Ports, Wi-Fi and a 2.5-inch hard drive option. (Read the full post about ‘Compulab introduces world’s smallest PC’…)
