Desktop with a consumption of 2 W

Perhaps, CherryPal managed to set a record for energy efficiency. New mini-desktop CherryPal C100 based on Debian Linux consumes only 2 watts of electricity at maximum load. This is ten times less than a regular PC.

Of course, the configuration is ascetic to the limit. It uses a Freescale processor with a clock speed of 400 MHz, installed only 256 MB of RAM and a 4 GB SSD hard drive. However, this is quite enough to work comfortably with the OpenOffice office suite, as well as launch a browser and go online. If you want to store large amounts of information - you can resort to the same online services. The manufacturing company promises to open its own such CherryPal Cloud service: online hosting up to 50 GB, automatic software update.

With standard use of eight hours a day, such a mini-desktop saves its owner $ 35 per year (at US electricity rates). Experts believe that such devices will be the most popular in the mass market in 10-15 years. Similar desktops are planning to release, including, Samsung and Sun.
