Many fit-PC models are available. fit-PC 1.0 was introduced in July 2007, fit-PC Slim was introduced in September 2008, fit-PC 2 was introduced in May 2009, fit-PC 3 was introduced in early 2012, and fit-PC 4 was introduced spring 2014. The [device](/source/Information_appliance) is power-efficient (fit-PC 1 was about 5 W) and therefore considered to be a [green computing](/source/green_computing) project,{{cite journal |last1=Parveen|first1=Farzana |last2=Singh |first2=Rahul |last3=Singh |first3=Preeti |date=April 2015 |title=Green Computing: an Exploration of Approaches & Implementations |journal=International Journal of Advance Research in Science and Engineering |volume=4 |issue=1 |pages=697–702 |doi= |citeseerx=10.1.1.1050.5217 }} capable of using [open source software](/source/open_source_software) and creating minimal [electronic waste](/source/electronic_waste).{{cite web | title = Tiniest Linux system, yet? | url = http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2102697273.html | publisher = LinuxDevices.com | date = September 16, 2008 | access-date = 2008-09-27 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080919205139/http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2102697273.html | archive-date = September 19, 2008 | url-status = dead }}{{cite web | title = Tiny PC sips power, runs Linux | url = http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5551137361.html | publisher = LinuxDevices.com | date = July 19, 2007 | access-date = 2008-02-21 | archive-url = https://archive.today/20120629213205/http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Tiny-PC-sips-power-runs-Linux/ | archive-date = June 29, 2012 | url-status = dead }}{{cite web | title = Fit PC—A Tiny Linux PC that Fits Anywhere | url = http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2194862,00.asp | publisher = ExtremeTech | access-date = 2008-02-21 | archive-date = 2008-02-15 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080215074319/http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2194862,00.asp | url-status = dead }} ==Current models== ===fit-PC2=== On February 19, 2009, Compulab announced the fit-PC2, which is "a major upgrade to the fit-PC product line".{{cite web | title = New fit-PC model - fit-PC2 | url = http://www.fit-pc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=778 | publisher = CompuLab | access-date = 2009-02-19 }} Detailed specifications for the fit-PC2 include an Intel Atom Z5xx ''[Silverthorne](/source/Silverthorne_(microprocessor))'' processor (1.1/1.6/2.0 GHz options), up to 2GB of [RAM](/source/Random-access_memory), 160GB SATA Hard Drive, GigaBit LAN and more. The fit-PC2 is also capable of HD video playback. Its declared power consumption is only 6W, and according to the manufacturer, it saves 96% of the power used by a standard desktop. fit-PC2 is the most power efficient PC on the [Energy-Star](/source/Energy_star) list. The fit-PC2 is based on the [GMA 500](/source/GMA_500) (Graphics Media Accelerator). Unfortunately the open source driver included in Linux kernel 2.6.39 does not support VA-API video or [OpenGL](/source/OpenGL)/3D acceleration.{{cite web | title = An Open-Source Intel GMA 500 Driver Appears | url = https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTE0NQ | publisher = Phoronix | access-date = 2011-06-27 }} The fit-PC2 is being phased out and is being replaced by the fitlet, the fitlet was designed to replace the CompuLab fit-PC2.{{Cite web|url=http://www.fit-pc.com/web/about/news/fitlet-announcement/|title=Fitlet press release}} ===fit-PC2i=== On December 2, 2009, Compulab announced the fit-PC2i, a fit-PC2 variation targeting networking and industrial applications.{{cite web | title = fit-PC2i announced - fit-PC2 | url = http://www.fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1156/ | publisher = CompuLab | access-date = 2009-12-30 }} fit-PC2i adds a second Gbit Ethernet port, [Wake-on-LAN](/source/Wake-on-LAN), [S/PDIF](/source/S%2FPDIF) output and RS-232 port, has two fewer USB ports, and no IR. ===fit-PC3=== The fit-PC3 has been released early 2012. See the [fit-PC3](/source/fit-PC3) article. ===fit-PC4=== The fit-PC4 has been released spring 2014. ===fitlet=== The fitlet has been announced January 14, 2015.{{cite web | title = fitlet announced - fitlet | url = http://www.fit-pc.com/web/products/fitlet/ | publisher = CompuLab | access-date = 2015-01-14 }} It has 3 CPU/[SoC](/source/System_on_a_chip) variations, and 5 feature variations, though only 7 models have been announced so far. ==Obsolete models== ===fit-PC Slim=== On September 16, 2008, Compulab announced the Fit-PC Slim, which at 11 x 10 x 3 cm is smaller than fit-PC 1.0. ====Hardware==== fit-PC Slim uses 500 MHz AMD [Geode](/source/Geode_(processor)) [LX800](/source/Geode_(processor)) processor and has 512mb soldered-on RAM.
