SkinnyBytes has just announced a new 18.5″ all-in-one, dubbed PoE-185 ‘Elite’ is sporting an Intel Atom dual core processor, a SSD drive, 4-in-1 card reader, integrated webcam and integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics.
Granted, these machines a geared toward business looking to reduce power consumption, lacking AC power infrastructure or reduce start-up cost by eliminating the need to install AC power for each terminal; PoE is a cool technology and it’s green.

SkinnyBytes manufactures low power PoE computing solutions. They have a variety of computer models, including desktops and laptops. PoE or Power-over-Ethernet is just what it says. Power comes from the Ethernet connection, so AC power is not necessary for SkinnyBytes’ machines. Low power draw is accomplished by using low power consuming components like the Intel Atom processors, SSD drives and LED back-lit displays.
Press Release
GILBERT, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SkinnyBytes has launched a new line of PoE Computer, the PoE-185 ‘Elite,’ which is an 18.5” AIO (All-In-One). All SkinnyBytes systems are Power-over-Ethernet, therefore they do not require AC power outlets. AC electrical is expensive to install, and far more dangerous than the low-voltage DC power provided by PoE. All SkinnyBytes PoE computers are engineered for extremely low power consumption, therefore are able to receive all of their power over a standard network cable via Power-Over-Ethernet. The PoE-185 also supports VESA mounting, making it ideal for a variety of environments including schools, healthcare, professional, retail, and industrial.
Value – Eliminating the need for installing AC outlets can easily reduce installation costs by 50% or more. And Power-over-Ethernet computers are the ultimate Eco-Friendly computers, consuming 90% less power than a traditional computer, drastically reducing your energy bills.
Safety – AC power is very dangerous due to the high-voltage/high-current it supplies. In classroom environments where the safety of the students is of paramount concern, it is hazardous to install AC outlets within reach of curious students. Power-over-Ethernet computers utilize low-voltage/low-current over a standard network cable, making them compliant with UL classification SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and therefore the ideal Classroom Friendly Computers.
Technology – Utilizing emerging technologies such as Solid State Drives (SSD), low-power Intel Atom Processors, LED backlighting, and passive cooling technologies, SkinnyBytes has created a line of PoE computers that can run on a meager 30 watts of power without sacrificing performance. By eliminating moving components, we are able to reduce the power requirements of our systems by 90% compared with traditional computing systems.
Simplified – One cable provides all of your power and data. Eliminate the tangled mess of cords and power strips.
Flexibility – Built-in stand or VESA mount. Power via PoE or included AC power adapter as needed. You can install or move your computer anywhere without requiring an AC outlet nearby.
All of SkinnyBytes’ systems are tailored toward business and educational institutions. No moving components translates into highly durable systems with high uptime and long life span. Every system comes with Windows 7 pre-installed, and a variety of custom options including color, capacity, and memory.
