Foxconn builds a fanless nano PC, forgets to place someone else\'s name on it

Two nano PCs, actually, and both expected to be announced officially this week in keeping with FanlessTech. The primary is the Foxconn AT-5300, running off a 2.13GHz dual-core Cedar Trail D2700, while the second one -- the AT-5600 -- is powered by AMD's popular (but last-gen) 1.65GHz E450 APU. Each consumes around 15W idle and 24W under load, that is the equivalent of somewhere between an Ultrabook and an ordinary laptop and coffee enough to be passively cooled. What's distinctly unlaptop-like, though, is the 190 x 135 x 38mm form factor, which should sit discreetly in your desk, below your TV or on a VESA mount, and in addition the cost, that is expected to be under $200 with worldwide availability. As with similar mini-ATX budget barebones, you will want to feature your personal HDD (or even a hybrid) to that, but you do get a couple of USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit LAN, a multilingual card reader and built-in 802.11n WiFi. The sole thing missing? You guessed it.
