The claim to have created the world's smallest PC has frequently been touted by companies small and sundry. But this little device really takes the cake, and it at least seems worthy of its claim. CompuLab has introduced a tiny fanless PC dubbed the Fit-PC Slim.

This tiny PC measures 4.3x3.9x1.2-inches and weighs just 380 grams. It uses 4-6 Watts of power and is equipped with a 500MHz AMD Geode LX800 processor, an Ethernet port, 3 USB ports, a VGA output, WiFi, and a 2.5-inch hard drive option. It is also capable of running both Windows XP and Linux.

We want one.

Features and Specifications:
Processor -- 500MHz AMD Geode LX800
Memory -- 256MB or 512MB of soldered-on RAM
Display -- VGA output
Storage -- Accepts 2.5-inch hard drive internally; factory offers pre-installed 60GB version

Networking:
LAN -- 10/100 Ethernet with RJ45 connector
WLAN -- 802.11b/g (optional)

Other I/O:
3 x USB 2.0 (2 front-panel, 1 rear)
1 x serial (with proprietary connector)
Dimensions -- 4.3 x 3.9 x 1.2 inches (110 x 100 x 30mm)
Weight -- 13 ounces (380g)

The Fit-PC Slim with basic 256MB configuration without WiFi is priced at $220, while the one with 512MB and WiFi but no hard drive is priced at $245. Meanwhile, the one equipped with a 60MB hard drive (yes, you read that right -- a bizzare capacity, for sure), 512MB of RAM, and offering an option to choose either Linux or Windows XP Home would cost $295 and $335, respectively.
