PiixL Jetpack Small Enough A PC To Be Tucked Behind Your Flat Screen TV

PiixL Jetpack Small Enough A PC To Be Tucked Behind Your Flat Screen TVHave you ever thought about the idea to sell computers that would be hooked up to your large screen TV in the living room? Well, that particular idea has been put forward by different companies for quite a number of years already, although a living room PC has yet to really catch on big. UK company PiixL has claimed that they could very well have a solution which they have dubbed Jetpack. The Jetpack will not take to the skies like you are the Rocketeer, but rather, it is a tiny computer which was specially designed to be installed right behind a flat screen TV.

Now, you might wonder whether there is enough space at all left behind the TV, squeezed right between the wall. Good news for doubting Thomases – PiixL has managed to come up with an extremely thin case design which has also been molded in such a way, that the width can be extended. This would enable the PC’s ports to be placed on the edge of TVs from 32″ to 70″ in size. Despite the rather odd place to put the Jetpack, it is touted to feature some serious hardware specifications, including Intel Core i7 processors, up to 1TB of SSD storage, and NVIDIA Titan or GTX780 graphics cards. You can opt to have Windows or Valve’s future SteamOS installed.

    What a real flying human jet looks like

    What a real flying human jet looks like

    Our favorite flying human Yves ‘Jetman’ Rossy is up to his old tricks again of making us all feel like tiny little life wasters. This time, he took a majestic flying tour around Mt. Fuji in his quad rocket-powered jetpack that can go as fast as 185mph. Just look at him zoom across the sky like Iron Man. So incredible.

    Future finally arrives as Martin Jetpack approved for manned test-flights

    Image

    Every morning, we wake up knowing that the writers of the ’60s, who promised us pill-sized meals and flying cars by the year 2000, had lied to us. But now, a New Zealand-based avionics company has been granted permission to start manned test-flights on the ultimate piece of retro-futurism: the jetpack. The Martin Jetpack, which successfully carried a dummy 5,000 feet above sea level in 2011, has been given a test license by New Zealand’s Civil Aviation Authority — and inventor Glenn Martin is hopeful that a military version of the device will be ready next year. After that, the ambitious engineer plans to release a general-purpose edition in 2015 and although the price has skyrocketed from $86,000 to around the $200,000 mark, we’d probably pay double that amount just to re-enact that moment from Thunderball.
