SAPPHIRE Technology has just introduced the first in a new line of lifestyle computer products - the SAPPHIRE Edge-HD Mini PC.

The Sapphire EDGE-HD Mini PC is believed to be the smallest PC in the world with its slim outline. At less than half a litre in volume, it is slimmer and smaller than most wireless access points - in fact around the size of a paperback book.

Specifications include a second generation 1.66GHz dual core processor (Intel Atom D510 1.66GHx, 1024 MB CPU cache Memory), 2GB of memory (DDR2-800 So-DIM), a 250GB hard drive and built in wireless connectivity as well as high speed LAN port and four USB ports.

Powered by a 512MB NVIDIA ION 2 platform, it provides high resolution graphics output with a full HD (1920x1080) HDMI interface (HDMI cable and HDMI-DVI adaptors supplied) as well as a VGA monitor output and it has built-in audio with mic-in and line-out sockets.

Consuming only around 22W under load, the SAPPHIRE Edge-HD Mini PC uses around 10 times less power than a typical desktop PC - and less than most notebooks.

The user or system integrator has a free choice of design for keyboard or mouse, which can be either wireless or USB connected. The Edge-HD is supplied pre-installed with FREE DOS - ready for the reseller or end user to install the preferred choice of operating system. It is fully compatible with Microsoft Windows7, Vista or Windows XP. All appropriate drivers are supplied on a USB memory stick.
