Quiet PC Foxconn Nano: up to 40 times smaller than a standard PC
The company Foxconn, a leading manufacturer of electronics and
computer components, announces the release of the quietest nettop line
NanoPC. Two new models of AT-5250 and AT-5600 is based on the Intel
Atom platform, and AMD Brazos, respectively. New items consume only 15
watts in standby mode and about 24 watts under load, is absolutely
silent thanks to passive cooling.

Minicomputers in the past have attracted much attention because of the
compactness (size of new products - only 190 x 135 x 38 mm), low power
consumption and low cost. Foxconn engineers reworked the design nettop
to use the new cooling system, and now they got one more advantage -
no noise, because inside there is no fan. The choice of memory and
hard drive (supports 2.5 "hard drives, and 1,8" / 2,5
"SSD) is still the user, both models come with free slots.

To communicate with the outside world, each computer is equipped with
two Foxconn Nano-port USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet port,
HDMI and VGA for display graphics, card reader 5-in-1, Wi-Fi adapter,
802.11n, interfaces for headphone, microphone, and linear output. The
package includes a standard mounting VESA, through which the nettop
can be mounted on the back of the monitor or TV.

Inside the Foxconn AT-5600 is a processor AMD Brazos E450 (1,65 GHz)
and a graphics chip Radeon HD 6320 - this model is suitable for home
media center and keep silence in the room. Foxconn AT-5250 uses an
Intel Cedar View D2550 (1,86 GHz) with integrated graphics Intel GMA
3650 - a good choice for server, network hard drive or office
computer.

Foxconn AT-5600 AT-5250 will be available in the CIS in September with
an estimated retail price of AT-5600 will be only $ 280, AT-5250 - $
260.

I remember when minicomputers filled a room and cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

Will Foxconn's revolutionary ad copy close down building your own?

Be smart. Be alert. Don't touch that channel (what's the point if
we've also got you covered on all the rest).

I agree with much of the commentary on this site; they seem overpriced
to me.
