-
Processor: Intel® N100 (4 cores, 12th Generation, Intel UHD Graphics)
-
Memory: 16GB DDR4 RAM
-
Storage: 128GB M.2 SSD
-
Cooling: Passive, fanless heatsink
-
Power: 12V DC input (typically via a 12V/2A adapter)
-
Connectivity: Multiple USB ports, HDMI, and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps)
-
Operating Systems: Options include Windows 11 IoT/Pro, Ubuntu Linux, or a minimal OS like FreeDOS.
Use Cases and Applications
The fanless and compact nature of the Vivomini Vc68V makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Its reliability in harsh conditions is a primary advantage.
-
Digital Signage & Kiosks: Silent operation and small form factor allow for discreet installation in retail, hospitality, and public information displays.
-
Industrial Automation: As a controller or HMI (Human-Machine Interface) on the factory floor, resistant to dust and capable of running in non-climate-controlled spaces.
-
Thin Client & VDI: An efficient endpoint for virtual desktop infrastructure in offices, schools, or call centers.
-
Edge Computing: Processing data locally in IoT networks, such as in transportation, smart agriculture, or security systems.
