The computer may be small and look old school, but its packed with modern components
For many computer users, the migration from desktops to notebooks is fully underway. This migration has a lot to do with computer users simply not having as much space for a desktop computer in their home or office.
A company called Cybernet has announced a interesting new computer dubbed a zero-footprint-PC. This is a bit of an odd nomenclature since the computer plainly has a footprint. What the maker means is that the entire computer takes up no more space than the keyboard, albeit a fat keyboard that is wider and thicker than normal.
Inside the keyboard enclosure sits modern computer hardware. Available CPUs include an Intel Core 2 Quad while other features of the ZPC-GX31 include an Intel GMA 3100 integrated graphics adapter, dual display capability, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM running at 667 MHz, gigabit LAN and a DVI interface.
Also included are a track pad for controlling the mouse, a memory card reader, and an optical drive is built into the side of the machine. Internally, the system has a pair of SATA ports for hard drives. You might not expect expansion options in a system this compact, but the rig does have one PCI Express slot and one mini PCI expansion port. Available operating systems are Windows XP, Vista and Linux.
Pricing for the system starts as low as $629.00.
It's interesting that a new company is making old school Commodore 64-looking computers, while Commodore is now making gaming systems that look like every other PC on the current market.
