Building Tiny, Ultra Low Power PCs
- biohacker42 18y agoRobotics! Linux, flash cards and Lego, robots I tell you, robots.
- silentbicycle 18y agoIf it had a 4 GB compact-flash card for storage, it wouldn't even have any moving parts. It seems like the main computer size limitation these days (at least for low-powered computers) is IO hardware. Keyboards and monitors need to be large, flat surfaces...unless people significantly improve projector keyboards, for example.
- 13ren 18y agoI think the niche for these tiny PCs is for embedded controllers... which don't need a keyboard or monitor. Although I'd guess for long-term battery operation (eg in remote applications), 5W is much too power-hungry. Incidentally, I'm typing this on a eee PC, which has 4GB of flash for storage... also, it runs at 600MHz (slightly faster than the 500 in the article), and webrowsing is (mostly) fine.
