Tough and Tiny - Stealth's LPC-100
Posted by Hooch Tan in "Digital Home News" @ 02:00 PM
"The new Stealth ultra-small form factor PC offers tremendous processing power in a tiny package that measures only 4.0" x 6.1" x 1.45" (102mm x 155mm x 37mm) or about the size of a paperback novel. The machine weighs in at a mere 1.2lbs or .62kg. The Stealth ultra small PC outperforms most other small-sized PC systems due to the integration of the latest Intel® Core™ 2 Duo mobile processors."
Tiny PCs have always held a special place in my heart. Small and out of the way, they accomplish much the same as a regular desktop would. I will admit that industrial grade computers are probably a bit too much for me (I do not abuse my computers that much!); they have been keeping up. A Core2Duo CPU, while not the most current, definately is no slouch, and probably helps to reduce heat output. It is interesting that it has serial ports, but considering this is an industrial device, I know a lot of equipment sitll works using the long-forgotten connectors. Should I ever need a PC running in my garage, I will know where to look.
