The power of the Atom


Intel's new Atom processor has led to the development of some very cool new computing SDKs offering a tantalising glimpse in to the future of this tech. Due to their tiny size and power requirements, they can be built in to very small footprint pc's and other devices.

The ASUS EEE Box B202 is a lovely iteration - tiny footprint, low power, sleek form factor design and yet full Windows XP capabilities. Coupled with a home server or NAS device, this would make an ideal media centre pc due to it's silent running.

Hopefully, this will be just the start of a greater integration of pc functions in to smaller devices....roll on 2009!
