Thin clients are quite handy in offices, due to their ultra portability and also due to their silent mode of operation. But what is special about the FUTRO S100 thin client from Fujitsu, is its power requirement. This little device has a VIA Eden processor, running at 500MHz, with a low TDP of just one watt. It's not only power savvy but also environment friendly, as it consumes only 11 watts of power under full load.

Hot Hardware noted the rise in popularity of VIA CPUs:
“We can remember a time when VIA was rarely mentioned when talking CPUs, but now the company has made a ferocious comeback that has its processors slipping into netbooks, small form factor PCs and now, Fujitsu thin clients.

Starting today, Fujitsu will utilize VIA's Eden ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processor for its next generation FUTRO thin client series. Said chip will provide 500MHz of power with a low TDP of just one watt. The first FUTRO to featur ethe chip will be the S100, a completely fanless and silent thin client and virtual workplace solution.”

CellSmartPhone noted the low power consumption and silent operation:
“By and large, thin clients are relatively boring. That said, they’re typically dead silent and plenty powerful to handle the most basic of tasks, and thanks to Fujitsu, this one’s even halfway easy on the eyes. The new FUTRO S100 was revealed today, complete with a 500MHz VIA Eden ULV processor that enables the entire system to suck down just 11 watts under full load.”
