Nettop

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nettop is the generic name for a very small form factor, inexpensive, low-power desktop computer designed for basic tasks such as Internet surfing, accessing web-based applications, document processing, and audio/video playback. The word nettop is a portmanteau of Internet and desktop. Compared to ordinary desktop computers, nettops are not only smaller and cheaper, they also consume much less power. For example, CompuLab's fit-PC2 consumes no more than 8 watts of power whereas a typical desktop would easily consume more than 100 watts of power.
