The fit-PC3 is a small, light, fan-less nettop computer manufactured by the Israeli company CompuLab.  Several fit-PC3 variations are available - fit-PC3 was introduced early 2012. The device is power-efficient (about 6 - 18 W) and therefore considered to be a green computing project, capable of using open source software and creating minimal electronic waste.^{[1] [2] [3]}
