__NOTOC__[[Image:fit-pc2-art-large.jpg|500px|thumb|center]]== Introducing fit-PC2 - a nettop PC done right ==
CompuLab introduces fit-PC2 – the smallest, most power-efficient Intel Atom PC to date.
fit-PC2 architecture is what sets it apart from other nettop PCs - fit-PC2 is designed around the Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz and the ultra low power Intel US15W system controller hub , rather than the Atom N270 and 945G used in other nettop- which PCs, thereby reducing power consumption by more than two thirds.<br>US15W incorporates hardware video acceleration. This allows fit-PC2 to run Windows XP or Ubuntu Linux at just 6W, and to play full HD 1080p H.264 video using less than 7W.
== Unique Features ==
=== Size ===
[[file:Hands.jpg|500px|thumb|center]]
The most striking feature of fit-PC2 is its size - 4" x 4.5" x 1.05" - smaller than a CD.
=== Fanless Operation ===
fit-PC2 is totally fanless - using the all -aluminum case to dissipate dissipates heat. This has two advantages -** fit-PC2 is noiseless - , or absolutely silent if equipped used with a solid state disk.** [[Why small PCs should be fanless | Increased reliability]] with due to no moving parts. 
=== A Standard PC ===
fit-PC2 may look like an appliance, but it's a full PC including -
* 6 USB ports
fit-PC2 fully supports all major operating systems.

=== A Green Computer ===
fit-PC2 excels in extremely low power consumption - 6W in normal operation in Windows XP or Linux or up to 8W under load. The only PC that can challenge fit-PC2 low power is the older generation [http://www.fit-pc.com/new/whats-new.html fit-PC Slim], but while fit-PC2 has the same power consumption with performs 5 times better in the performancesame power envelope.<br><br>fit-PC2 has no hazardous substances and at 313cc / 370g is so small that electronic waste is negligible. <br><br>Proving that green technology can also be cost-effective, a fit-PC2 replacing an old computer will soon pay for itself in electricity savings alone.

Measuring 115 x 101 x 27 mm and consuming makes it the smallest product in the market - it can practically === Ruggedness ===fit in a pocket. Yet it boasts the capabilities of a full-featured desktop, including a 1.6GHz processor, 1GB RAM and 160GB harddisk, all packed into a rugged aluminum case. Fit-PC2 smoothly runs Windows XP / Vista / Win 7 and Linux, as well as all mainstream applications. Fitbody is industrial-PC2's outstandingly low power consumption – just 6Wgrade, makes it the greenest PC ever introduceddie-cast aluminum with no venting holes. The body itself is used for heat dissipation. Low power consumption provides another important benefit – fit-PC2 doesn’t require ability to withstand a fanhigh level of shock, making it absolutely quiet vibration and improving system reliability by obviating any moving parts. In combination extreme temperatures - depending only on the type of disk used - with an SSD, it creates a perfect shock tolerant system, ideal fit-PC2 is one of the most rugged PCs for car computers industrial and automotive applications.  == a nettop PC done right ==[[file:Vesa-mounting.jpg|500px|thumb|center]]What is the target market of fit-PC2 Specifications ? Various users appreciate different capabilities of fit-PC2 comprises Intel's Atom Z530 processor. Its tiny size, US15W chipsetlow power, 1GB of DDR2 memory ruggedness and an optional 160GB harddisk.
