Default BoingBoing Gadgets Plays with the Fit PC 2

http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/...kend-wit-6.html

"The Fit PC 2 is an inch thick, about 4 inches each way, and pipes 1080p video through an HDMI port. Though a perfectly usable PC with a 160GB hard drive, Atom Z CPU and a gig of RAM, it's so small that it makes even netbooks look bulky."

Like netbooks, nettops (or whatever you want to call them) have existed for quite some time before gaining any attention, but the current net-noun craze is getting manufacturers pushing the technology in them further.  The Fit PC 2 is such a wee device, it likely can fit on the VESA mount on the back of certain monitors.  It's performance is much like any current generation net-device, even going so far as making non-flash 720p video playback watchable.  I could see this as handy for offices, and some use in homes with geeks who like small toys everywhere around the house, myself included, who is still waiting for the right device that I can put one in every room.  I have to admit that netbooks will probably dominate over nettops since you don't really seem to be saving all that much with these wee machines.
