But where's the PC?
Filed in archive by Andrew Garrett on March 1, 2004
From Cybernet, the Zero Footprint PC.
In short, it's a PC inside a keyboard - an idea which went pretty much out of fashion about when I bought my first PC.
PC hardware got too large and bulky to fit in such a small space, so it get broken out info a seperate box. Now, with the benefits of miniaturisation, and the ongoing price drops of smaller hardware (probably due to increased laptop sales, I'd say), the idea is back.
It's not the fastest machine on the block, but it's not designed to be a gaming powerhouse. It's a simple mom and pop desktop - for those with limited space, or the fashion concious who want to avoid the infamous beige box and tangle of cables
.
If I wasn't already plotting a move to an iMac and a laptop, I'd be seriously interested.
