Peanut Computing System

Outrageously Small! Easy to Transport!

Our Peanut is a super compact computing system that measures just 7” x 7” x 3” inches for an exceptionally small footprint that takes up less desk space than a notebook PC. Complete with hard drive and CD drive, Peanut weighs in under 5 pounds and with its convenient carry handle can be easily moved by anyone. It is Ideal for small spaces and can be easily transported from home to the office or even taken on vacation. Peanut is pictured at the right with a cell phone so you'll get an idea just how small it really is (click for larger image).

Peanut has all the connectors you need for peripheral attachment and expansion. The picture shown at left (click for larger image) displays the rear panel with PS2 mouse port, PS2 keyboard port, video port, 10/100 ethernet connector for DSL or broadband networking, two USB ports, one LPT printer port, TV out port, serial I/O port for an external modem, and rear jacks for microphone, speakers, and line-in.

Each Peanut is personally assembled by me, not mass produced on some assembly line where quality control checks can fall through the cracks. I test each Peanut during every assembly and installation step and I take great pride in my finished product.  All of the Windows critical and security update patches will have been applied before any Peanut leaves my workbench so you're assured of a completely patched system before you connect to the internet.

Shown below is our current pricing for each Peanut, along with some suggested optional peripherals and optional upgrades. I am currently ramping up for initial production so each Peanut will be considered a special order and can be customized according to your requirements.

So take a look and give me a call at (830) 895-5016 if you're interested in one of these Peanuts. By the way, you can also choose the case in color black and I'm considering red and black as another color option.
