Wyse release two 7 watt thin clients

The new Fujitsu thin clients have been in the news recently because of their low power consumption. Wyse might now come up trumps with two new models featuring VIA's Eden processors and the most recent VX855 single chip solution. The VX855 draws just 3.5 watts under load, whilst still providing the option for dual monitor support. Overall, the C3OLE and C9OLE thin clients only require seven watts of power under load. That's crazy! Imagine that a light bulb consumes 60 watts and all it's doing is, well being bright! The two models run either Windows Embedded CE 6.0 or Windows XP Embedded.

The units don't look like a thin client does traditionally. In stead of the classic "I'm a book PC" chasis, they look more like a router, with sturdy little legs. More on WindowsForDevice.com.
