Intel’s Community PC: New initiative to bring PC technology to developing nations

Intel announced the second rugged computer platform in an initiative designed to bring PC technology to developing nations.

Intel unveiled in India a fully functional computer called the Community PC. It’s well-equipped to handle adverse conditions, according to Intel spokeswoman Agnes Kwan.

Intel’s Community PC is designed to withstand temperatures of 113 degrees Fahrenheit and up to 85 percent relative humidity, and has a removable dust filter. To keep the motherboard cool, the chassis houses an integrated fan. The computer operates on a “customized power supply unit,” and is designed to consume less than 100 watts while operating, which is another way of keeping the computer’s heat in check.
