Perhaps some of our readers still remember the interesting computer Fit-PC. We would like to inform them: a new version with a predictable name Fit-PC2 has been released. At this time it is based on Intel Atom.
Fit-PC2 is a miniature computer, that has 10,2 X11, 4×2, 7 cm size. You can keep it in your pocket. But despite such a modest size, it is a full computer with a processor Intel Atom 1,1 GHz or 1,6, gigabytes of RAM and a SATA 2.5-inch disk format.
The new model has an integrated 802.11g Wifi, Ethernet and HDMI output. By default, the model work with Ubuntu Linux, or with Windows XP (to your choice).
Prices for this kind of system units start from $ 245 for the base model without a hard drive. But at a price of $ 299 for the version of Linux, and 160 gigabytes of hard disk space, it is unlikely that you will want to take the base model. The same version of Windows XP will cost more – $ 396.
