Welcome to Miniature PC Release Week
Apparently it's Miniature PC Release Week and nobody told me.
On Monday, Fujitsu officially announced the U810 mini-notebook, and on Tuesday, Stealth Computer released a mini PC that it says will fit into a human palm (well, sort of). Though I'm sure the results will differ for everyone, suffice it to say, this is a wee computer.
Stealth Computer's Little PC. Disembodied hand not included.
(Credit: Stealth Computer)It measures just under 3 inches tall, 6 inches wide and 10 inches deep. The Little PC--not the most creative or specific name, but whatever--will have Intel's Pentium and Celeron M series processors, and lots of connectivity options: LAN, serial, USB 2.0, FireWire, video, audio, and more.
The tiny PC can be customized too. The PCI card slot means the owner can add a wireless or video card, or really, whatever they want. The 160GB hard drive is built to absorb extra shock, but it can also be swapped out for a solid state drive or flash drive. A DVD/CD-RW drive is standard, but a DVD burner can be substituted.
It's Windows Vista, XP or Linux-compatible, and the price tag is $995. The Little PC is available now on Stealth's Web site.

institution having specific requirements for form factor or shock resistance or
whatever would choose to buy this product. Far better off buying a Mac Mini
and, if you must, a copy of Windows XP. Then you'd get the benefit of a
mainstream product that has a robust support network in place, and the ability
to run Mac OS at such time that you decide you don't want to live a life of stress
any more.
