Realistically Smallest PC Print
August 2011

Why do we need a very small PC?   We need a very small PC because tablets including iPad are only suitable for retrieving information from the Internet and not suitable for business computation or content creation.  Tablets are small and portable and these are good features.  We want a desktop that is small but does not need to be portable.  Is there one?  Compucon has several in this category.

Most if not all of the very small PC seen in retail shops are more suitable for consumer use than business use because the former group is less demanding on system uptimes.  Compucon has paid attention to small PC over the years and has developed quite a few models with industrial strengths for business, corporate or professional uses.   Efforts to improve these tiny PC are on-going nevertheless as miniaturisation is simply a standard technology direction.     

The most popular small PC is Compucon Onyx.  We have 2 versions- commercial and multimedia.  They have 6 litres of volume each, and have a wall mounted bracket option.  See this.  http://www.compucon.co.nz/content/view/501/215/

The most serious small PC is rack mounted.  These Compucon models are as serious as for file serving to a group of users.   See this.  http://www.compucon.co.nz/content/view/502/217/

The smallest PC can be mounted on the back of a LCD screen.  It is called Compucon Pearl PC and has less than 2 litres of volume.  Owing to the limitation of size, it has 1GB of memory and 4GB of bulk storage space and runs Windows XP embedded.  See this.  http://www.compucon.co.nz/content/view/733/249/
