No. Its not a lappy, but it is only slightly wider than a Sharpie™ is long. VIA announced their new ARTiGO Pico-ITX Builder Kit A1000, which is powered by VIA’s own C7 CPU running at 1.0GHz perched on top of their tiny Pico-ITX mainboard, when Microsoft announced their new Windows Embedded market push for hobbyists; Spark. VIA is pushing the ARTiGO as a project system for hands-on consumers, so it ships like a bare-bones. That means you need to supply the up to 1GB of RAM and 2.5″ PATA or SATA hard drive after you purchase it for US$299. You then get to assemble it. I certainly like the idea. I’m sure it will run OpenSUSE 10.3 quite well.
