in computer hardware, many of them do not open the computer facilities

encyclopaedia of the World Wide Web. |

Ultra-low power consumption of the sleek industrial
designed workstation does not require a cooling fan and therefore
gives the best acoustic performance. Unlike Windows terminal solutions,
audio, graphics and video are rendered locally, giving faster frame
rate, hence better user experiences. With a size 1/20 of an ordinary
PC, NBA1100 workstation can be fit virtually anywhere. |
