Aleutia Computers Ltd.[5] (pronounced al-oo-sha[2]) is a privately owned computer manufacturer based in London, United Kingdom. Its product range consists of low-power desktop and server computers. Its products are used in the developing world and as original base designs for externally branded products.[2] Its computers have been purchased by Unicef, Tesco, Schlumberger, Pret a Manger, Virgin Media, and the National Health Service.[2] All computers come with the option to ship a version of Ubuntu or Linux Mint, alongside the mainstream choice of Microsoft Windows.[6]
History
Aleutia was founded in London by Michael Rosenberg in October 2006,[7] motivated by the unreliability, inefficiency, and expense of the Hewlett-Packard PCs in the internet cafe he had set up in Takoradi, Ghana in the summer of 2006.[8][9]
Its first product was the E1, which was introduced for public sale in October 2007, was a fanless, low-power computer targeting the need for energy efficient computers in Africa.[10]
