Have you checked our IntensePC line? It features up to core i7 and extremely powerful for a miniature PC. The mechanical factor of Intense-PC is identical to Fit-PC3. I'd expect a "refreshed fit-pc3" with such Trinity processors to offer better "value for money" than the intense-pc (which is a grea...

SSD drives seem to consume a lot less when DIPM (Device Initiated Power Management) is enabled. AFAIK, to enable it under GNU/Linux, you need to set /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy to "min_power", but I don't see this config file on my Fit-PC2. So is it a limitation of the Fi...

Higher CPU performance than the fit-pc3 (even the 4-core A8-4555M is rated at 19W, so it might still fit the power-envelope).

Higher GPU performance.

Correction to previous topic: Actual model name of Lenovo usb-display is Thinkvision LT1421. And I'm trying to find a driver for Fit-pc2 running Linux Mint. There's a Linux kernel driver (called udlfb ) for that display (at least since linux-3.2). So it should be possible to use it under any recent...

I'd be happy to see a fit-pc based on something like the AMD A10-4655M or A6-4455M CPUs.

Thank you for you feedback. You can use self powered enclosure to avoid power issues. FitPC3 designed to be slim, so the 3.5 hardiness will strongly affect the FitPC3 dimensions I did not mean to extend the fit-pc3 case specifically, since indeed the form-factor (and heat constraints) will require ...

What I wish for is support for connecting a 3.5" HDD. Currently, I use an old ASUS WL-700ge at one place and a fit-pc2 with external USB enclosure at another, but the WL-700ge is terribly underpowered, and the external enclosure has severe limitations: the USB enclosures don't give full access to sm...

Thank you, that's very good to know. Was that with a single process (i.e. only using one of the two cores)?

The only known problem with this chipset's support is for the graphics card, which requires (problematic) proprietary drivers if you want your graphics to be accelerated.

For the Fit-PC3 Pro, ideally.
