Life always isn’t the same because there’s always something new in store - records are made and they tumble every now and then giving way to new ones, and this too is sort of a record here - PC’s that are small enough to dwell in your pockets. You got that right! Though, I ain’t sure what you gonna do with the PC’s that small - yet, they are chic, coz they are small - well explained for themselves.

Cell phones can probably do much more than what these minuscule machines, further they ain’t gonna replace your desktops for now, but still a list of world’s tiniest PCs compiled by wired surely requires a check in.

Via Technologies’ Pico-ITX and Shimafuji’s Space Cube are a couple of names that feature in the list, while Weird places picotux at the pinnacle of them all - measuring 35mmx19mmx19mm, and powered by Linux, picotux is the smallest Linux computer in the world, not larger than the ethernet jack. The ARM-powered little winder has 8 MB of RAM, 100 Mbit ethernet jack, 55-MHz CPU, a serial port and a power supply, and perhaps that’s it, you won’t be playing game here anyhow!

Truly, these PC’s will someday soon become a lifestyle accessory, but for now these are just nerdy products!
