Compulab to Launch $99 Cell Phone Sized Computer

Yokneam, Israel – 14-July-2013 – CompuLab is introducing Utilite – a miniature ARM-based desktop computer. Powered by Freescale i.MX6 system-on-chip, Utilite is the next generation of CompuLab’s highly acclaimed Trim-Slice computer. Featuring a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, up-to 4GB RAM and dual-head 1080p display output, Utilite expands the 2011 Trim-Slice offering with up-to twice the performance and less than half the starting price of $99. Designed into an elegant “zero-screws” housing and measuring only 5.3” x 3.9” x 0.8”, Utilite provides unprecedentedly rich I/O with dual GbE, 5 USB ports, 802.11 WiFi and Bluetooth. High performance, low-power, rich I/O and miniature form-factor position the Utilite as an attractive solution for a variety of applications such as media player, IPTV, infotainment systems, digital signage, thin client and small-footprint desktop replacement. Utilite will be offered with fully featured, desktop-grade Ubuntu Linux or Android operating systems delivering rich multimedia and PC-like user experience. “In 2011 CompuLab’s Trim-Slice has pioneered the market of ARM-based computers,” said Igor Vaisbein, VP Business Development at CompuLab. “Utilite pushes the boundaries of ARM desktops even further by doubling the performance and providing more connectivity while maintaining the same tiny form-factor and drastically reducing cost.” Utilite is particularly attractive to software developers since it is a high-performance, open platform designed into a commercial grade product. CompuLab intends to collaborate closely with the open-source community.
