Embedded and industrial computing specialist Aaeon has launched a fanless mini PC featuring up to an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor. The PC, dubbed the Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air, utilizes Frore’s AirJet ultrasonic membrane technology for active cooling.
The use of this cooling tech means that the Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air is virtually silent, operating at less than 21 dBA. Moreover, Aaeon boasts that it has allowed its mini PC designers to make this device “35% thinner and 43% lighter” than a traditional heatsink and fan-cooled model.
The Aaeon Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air doesn’t look very much like a regular consumer mini PC.
