Motherboards the size of a business card
The Register covers Via’s new “Mobile ITX” motherboard, and a laptop based on it. The CPU draws 3.5 watts while working, and .25 idle, and the rest of the mobo pulling another 3.5. The NanoBook will cost about $699 and it’s pretty much a tiny laptop, which seems a bit more versatile than the other UMPC’s out there. It also has a strange usb snapin area next to the laptop screen, so you can plug in a portable gadget like a cellphone.
