Key differences
-
Thinvent Treo Mini PC with Intel Core i3-1215U offers up to 64 GB RAM and up to 2 TB SSD, where the UNO-247 specifications provided do not state RAM or storage capacity.
-
The Thinvent Treo and IPC3 lines are offered with 6-core Intel Core i3 processors, giving a larger core count than the N97 quad-core class.
-
The UNO-247 offers a broader set of stated I/O, including four GbE LAN ports, six COM ports and an iDoor expansion design, which suits serial-heavy automation wiring.
-
The UNO-247 is compact and fanless with a terminal block for wiring, a trade-off that Thinvent's listed models do not describe in the same detail.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Advantech UNO-247 if your automation project depends on many serial and Ethernet connections, a fanless edge design and an iDoor expansion option. Choose a Thinvent Treo Mini PC or IPC3 if you need a 6-core Intel Core i3 processor with up to 64 GB RAM and up to 2 TB storage.
