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>
While Proving that green technology tends to can also be expensivecost-effective, a fit-PC2 replacing an old computer with fit-PC Slim can will soon pay for itself by in electricity savings alone. === A New Type of HTPC Media PC ===[[file:1080p-2.jpg|500px|thumb|center]]Full HD resolution with HDMI connector, 1080p H.264 decoding, high definition audio, fanless operation for no background noise, tiny size and IR remote control support - fit-PC2 can make a very decent home-theater multimedia PC. With low cost and low power consumption that allows allowing it to be always-on - fit-PC2 can bring the PC experience into more living rooms than ever before. CompuLab has been working with [http://www.codecguide.com CodecGuide] on optimizing the K-Lite codec pack and the popular MPC-HC player for fit-PC2.<br>For the most complete multimedia experience we recommend fit-PC2 users to [http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm download and install] the latest '''K-Lite Standard''' codec pack.
=== 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? It turns out that different Various users appreciate different capabilities of fit-PC2. Having Its tiny size, low power , ruggedness and high end multimedia capabilities make fit-PC2 is found ideal as for a wide range of applications - from a ruggedized boat PC as well as 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 is was not designed for tailored to a specific market segment. It is , instead it provides a highly optimized nettop PC based on unique combination of properties available for the most power efficient PC architecture to date - first time with the introduction of the Intel Atom Z530. fitThe design goals are -PC2 is just a nettop PC done right.* Low-power, fanless operation* Miniature size* Good performance and multimedia capabilities* Industrial grade build* Aesthetic appearance* Affordable price
