The fit-PC is a small, light, fan-less nettop computer manufactured by the Israeli company CompuLab.

Many fit-PC models are available. fit-PC 1.0 was introduced in July 2007, fit-PC Slim was introduced in September 2008, fit-PC 2 was introduced in May 2009, fit-PC 3 was introduced in early 2012, and fit-PC 4 was introduced spring 2014. The device is power-efficient (fit-PC 1 was about 5 W) and therefore considered to be a green computing project,{{cite journal |last1=Parveen|first1=Farzana |last2=Singh |first2=Rahul |last3=Singh |first3=Preeti |date=April 2015 |title=Green Computing: an Exploration of Approaches & Implementations |journal=International Journal of Advance Research in Science and Engineering |volume=4 |issue=1 |pages=697–702 |doi= |citeseerx=10.1.1.1050.5217 }} capable of using open source software and creating minimal electronic waste.{{cite web | title = Tiniest Linux system, yet? | url = http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2102697273.html | publisher = LinuxDevices.com | date = September 16, 2008 | access-date = 2008-09-27 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080919205139/http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2102697273.html | archive-date = September 19, 2008 | url-status = dead }}{{cite web | title = Tiny PC sips power, runs Linux | url = http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5551137361.html | publisher = LinuxDevices.com | date = July 19, 2007 | access-date = 2008-02-21 | archive-url = https://archive.today/20120629213205/http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Tiny-PC-sips-power-runs-Linux/ | archive-date = June 29, 2012 | url-status = dead }}{{cite web | title = Fit PC—A Tiny Linux PC that Fits Anywhere | url = http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2194862,00.asp | publisher = ExtremeTech | access-date = 2008-02-21 | archive-date = 2008-02-15 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080215074319/http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2194862,00.asp | url-status = dead }}

Current models

=fit-PC2=

On February 19, 2009, Compulab announced the fit-PC2, which is "a major upgrade to the fit-PC product line".{{cite web | title = New fit-PC model - fit-PC2 | url = http://www.fit-pc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=778 | publisher = CompuLab | access-date = 2009-02-19 }}

Detailed specifications for the fit-PC2 include an Intel Atom Z5xx Silverthorne processor (1.1/1.6/2.0 GHz options), up to 2GB of RAM, 160GB SATA Hard Drive, GigaBit LAN and more. The fit-PC2 is also capable of HD video playback. Its declared power consumption is only 6W, and according to the manufacturer, it saves 96% of the power used by a standard desktop. fit-PC2 is the most power efficient PC on the Energy-Star list.

The fit-PC2 is based on the GMA 500 (Graphics Media Accelerator). Unfortunately the open source driver included in Linux kernel 2.6.39 does not support VA-API video or OpenGL/3D acceleration.{{cite web | title = An Open-Source Intel GMA 500 Driver Appears | url = https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTE0NQ | publisher = Phoronix | access-date = 2011-06-27 }}

The fit-PC2 is being phased out and is being replaced by the fitlet, the fitlet was designed to replace the groundbreaking (and still popular) CompuLab fit-PC2.{{Cite web|url=http://www.fit-pc.com/web/about/news/fitlet-announcement/|title=Fitlet press release}}

=fit-PC2i=

On December 2, 2009, Compulab announced the fit-PC2i, a fit-PC2 variation targeting networking and industrial applications.{{cite web | title = fit-PC2i announced - fit-PC2 | url = http://www.fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1156/ | publisher = CompuLab | access-date = 2009-12-30 }}

fit-PC2i adds a second Gbit Ethernet port, Wake-on-LAN, S/PDIF output and RS-232 port, has two fewer USB ports, and no IR.
