Worlds Smallest XP PC

September 19th, 2008 by e-tech

Worlds SMallest XP PCI have heard many claims in my life of the worlds greatest, smallest, lightest and fastest devices.  Most of these I discount as pure tosh.  Everyone claims to be the best at their own target audience, it is after all the name of the game.

This time however  the Fit-PC seems to have pulled off being the worlds smallest XP compatible PC, or maybe even just the worlds smallest PC .  The Fit-PC comes in at a tiny 10cm wide, 11cm long and only 3cm deep, making it quite possibly the worlds smallest computer.

Considering its tiny size the fit-PC has a fairly decent amount of hardware under the hood,

CPU: AMD Geode LX800 500MHz
Chipset: AMD CS5536
Display: Integrated Geode LX display controller up to 1920×1440
Memory: 512MB DDR 333MHz soldered on-board
Hard disk: 2.5” IDE 60GB
Ports:
RJ45 Ethernet port 100Mbps
WLAN 802.11b/g 54Mbps
3 x USB 2.0 HiSpeed 480Mbps
mini RS-232 (cable available from CompuLab)
VGA DB15
Stereo line-out audio (headphones)
Stereo line-in audio / Mic

While it would not stand up to many of today’s games the fact that all this is packed into the worlds smallest XP compatible machine makes it more than worth the downgrade!

Unfortunately I soon realised that while this is possibly the worlds most portable PC it is just the PC, include the power pack, monitor, the monitors power pack, keyboard and mouse and suddenly I think you would find you asking yourself why in gods name didn’t you just buy a laptop?!
