Had previously sought a minimal PC.
Still looking.
And, okay, will take an integrated display if one is forced
into the package. This is almost a reality with the Microsoft Surface and
related tablets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_Pro_2
USB3 but sadly no devoted Ethernet... but via USB3 is
possible.
CuBox is close but not USB3 (yet?). And not yet well Windows
supported. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CuBox
But it is very much within technical reach to meet the
specs. Staying rather firm about no WiFi, Bluetooth, nor other wireless. Want
the assurance of physically disconnecting those interfaces. See separate blog
on WiFi tracking.
Basically run full latest modern OSes with all I/O (except
network and video and those “could” be USB3 too – if the OSes could accept the
USB3 devices at boot). To repeat:
- Ethernet (up to Gigabit speeds – maybe 10G)
- USB 3
- HDMI
- 6hr+ battery. No fan.
- Form factor of small brick like book/tablet. Under one kg.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af, or power from a USB
outlet.
- 8+G Memory, 100+G SSD, i7 based?
