Shuttle X27, a super-small desktop, to debut in September

The world of gadgets is all about numbers and sizes. The race among gadget-makers is primarily to outdo one another in size, weight and other physical specs, while performance is lent a step-motherly treatment. Not that it is ignored, but just that other factors play bigger roles in the whole rat-race. Shuttle PCs need no introduction. The "small ones" now have a tiny little brother—the X27, dubbed Shuttle’s smallest desktop. A nettop (a small desktop powered by an Intel low-power chip) by nature, the X27 runs on Intel’s Atom processor and measures just 10x7x2.75 inches. The size may remind you of the Asus Eee Box. Shuttle claims that its X27 scores on low-noise levels as well. 23 decibels is the maximum for this PC, which consumes just 36 watts (23 watts while idle!). Other specs include 4 USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet port and Analog 5.1-channel audio. If small things fascinate you, the X27 fits the bill perfectly.
