Thailand-based NorhTec announced a device touted as "the world's most energy-efficient desktop computer," offered for only $99 with the Linux version. Built into a standard-sized keyboard, the "Gecko Surfboard" runs on a 1GHz x86 SoC (system on chip), operates fanlessly, and uses just five Watts, the company says.

Interesting. But why am I suddenly reminded of the C=64, the Acorn Electron et al? smile

For more, see NorhTec and www.xcore.com. Good stuff!
