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 performs 5 times better in the same power consumption with 5 times the performanceenvelope.<br><br>fit-PC2 has no hazardous substances and at 313cc / 370g is so small as to make electronics that electronic waste is negligible.
<br><br>
=== Ruggedness ===
fit-PC2 body is industrial -grade , die-cast aluminum. It has with no venting holes and the . The body itself is used for heat dissipation. fit-PC2 ability to withstand a high level of shock and , vibration and extreme temperature range temperatures - depends depending only on the type of disk used. fit-PC2 with an SSD makes , fit-PC2 is one of the most rugged PCs for industrial and automotive applications. == a nettop PC done right ==[[file:Vesa-mounting.jpg|500px|thumb|center]]What is the target market of fit-PC2? Various users appreciate different capabilities of fit-PC2. Its tiny size, low power, ruggedness and high end multimedia capabilities make fit-PC2 ideal for a wide range of applications - from a ruggedized boat PC to a silent library PC, as a living room HTPC or an always-on file server, as a quiet desktop replacement or a point-of-sale PC... the list just goes on.<br>fit-PC2 was not tailored to a specific market segment, instead it provides a unique combination of properties available for the first time with the introduction of the Intel Atom Z530. The design goals are -* Low-power, fanless operation* Miniature size* Good performance and multimedia capabilities* Industrial grade build* Aesthetic appearance* Affordable price
