Top Spec

CherryPal has recently accounced it will be shipping its new simple cloud PC, the CherryPal Desktop, at the end of July. Now this paperback-book sized box has been designed and created for somebody who has very limited PC knowledge and to help cut your carbon footprint.

How I here you cry, well the CherryPal Desktop only uses 2 Watts of power which is pretty impressive. To hit that 2 Watt mark, CherryPal decided to use Freescale’s new 400MHz MPC5121e mobileGT processor, and eliminated all the moving parts normally found in your PC, which means 4GB of NAND flash memory instead of the regular optical drive. The full spec is as follows:

• Freescale’s MPC5121e mobileGT processor ( 400MHz )
• 256MB of DDR2 memory
• 4GB of NAND flash memory
• VGA output
• 2x USB 2.0 port
• 3.5mm headphone jack output
• 802.11b/g Wi-Fi
• Ethernet

This wounderful piece of kit will be up and running in around 20-seconds, the CherryPal is a budget-priced, maintenance-free PC. CherryPal’s online administrators perform all system maintenance and backup for their PC users. The operating system is a tweaked form of Debian Linux. When you purchase with CherryPal you receive 50GB of Internet storage which is managed and protected by the  CherryPal . You access the internet via the PC’s Ethernet jack or 802.11b/g Wi-Fi.
