    Seriously cool hardware

    Linutop is a Linux-based diskless computer. It offers a completely silent, low-power operation in an extremely small package.

    That's pretty big considering it doesn't include any storage, only 256MB of RAM, and a PDA-grade processor. In fact, most PDAs are as powerful but far smaller.

    Well, I don't doubt they could've made it smaller. But it's for stationary use. So I guess they have to make it big enough to not get lost...

    I just don't see the point to it?

    It's incredibly slow and limited, it'd have to be $5 to be worthwhile, and it's way way more than that.

    True, although for a desktop-used (VGA/LCD-connected) unit you probably want the additional size (so you can place things on top of it, ie). Still, not something I'd ever want.

    I agree that €280 is a bit much (half that would be ok IMO). But still, it's cute

    Yes and no. I wouldn't buy this (even if I think it's cute). But I bought a far too expensive CD and amplifier based on its looks and the fact that it sounded just as good as another one that wasn't as nice.
