Who knew a “p” packed so much punch? Just weeks after Lenovo cut loose with a boatload of new machines, the outfit has quietly slipped out an even newer model tailored for gamers.

The march of the mini PCs continues, this time with a pumped-up little number from CompuLab. We’ve already reported on the Fit-PC3, which forgoes the Atom and Tegra 2 of previous models in favor of AMD’s APUs, but it’s only now that full pricing has been divulged… Tweet This Post

Advanced Micro Devices is probably feeling a bit silly right about now.
