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 10×7x2.75 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.
