== Intoducing fit-PC2 ==
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 -PCs which consume , thereby reducing power consumption by more than 3 times the powertwo 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 ==
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 used with a solid state disk.
** [[Why small PCs should be fanless | Increased reliability]] with due to no moving parts.
=== A Standard PC ===
=== 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 performs 5 times better in the same power envelope.<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-PC2 can will soon pay for itself by in electricity savings alone.
=== A New Type of HTPC ===
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 decent home-theater 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.
=== Ruggedness ===
fit-PC2 body is industrial -grade , die-cast aluminum with no venting holes. The body itself is used for heat dissipation. fit-PC2 ability to withstand a high level of shock, vibration and extreme temperature range temperatures - depends depending only on the type of disk used - with an SSD , fit-PC2 makes is one of the most rugged PCs for industrial and automotive applications.
== a nettop PC done right ==
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 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 designed for tailored to a specific market segment, instead it was designed to provide provides a unique combination of properties that were not possible before available for the first time with the introduction of the Intel Atom Z530. The design goals were are -* Low -power , fanless operation
* Miniature size
* Good performance and multimedia capabilities
