Mini computing puck 3040 released

Yesterday Dell officially released their brand new Thin Client called 3040. This little puppy is only small in its dimensions.

As you can see from the pictures the client looks like an icehockey puck and is not much bigger. It measures only 101.6mm x 27.94 mm x 101.6 mm (HWD) but is packed full with the latest and greatest hardware components.
Based on an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 Quad Core 1.44GHz CPU, it is equipped with 2GB RAM, 8 GB flash for ThinOS and 16GB for the ThinLinux variant, 3 x USB 2.0, 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 1, 2 x DisplayPorts and a RJ45 1 Gb/s network port. Optionally you can get it with inbuild Dual band 802.111 a/b/g/n/ac wireless and Bluetooth.
The graphic card supports up to 2560×1600@60Hz in dual screen mode, so each monitor can use that resolution.
And the best is, that this tiny box only needs 3.3 Watts in idle mode.
As written above, the unit will be available with ThinOS and ThinLinux.
