Linutop's 6watt computer

Filed in archive Devices on May 17, 2007

LinuxDevices.com features one of the smallest Linux computers available in the market today. Dubbed as Linutop PC, this 433Mhz AMD Geode LX700@0.8W powered computer comes with 256MB of RAM and 1GB of storage via a USB thumbdrive. Measuring at 9.3 x 2.7 x 15 cm, the Parisian startup's Xubuntu-powered computer weigh a mere 280 grams - if that is not small, then I do not know what is. :) Linutop has four USB 2 ports, audio and video port and a 10/100Mbps Ethernet card. WiFi can be added via the USB, which you have plenty. What is even better is it's now available for approximately US$380.

Now, think of the endless possible use of this device - portable web-server, firewall/proxy server, desktop, mail client, etc. Personally, I can use this is as a File server connecting several USB external hard disk drives. :) At 6 watts, that will save me a lot for operating this little critter.
