Aaeon launches fanless mini PC with Intel Panther Lake and AirJet cooling
Key points
- Aaeon launched the Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air mini PC.
- It uses Frore's AirJet solid-state cooling, operating under 21 dBA.
- The PC is 35% thinner and 43% lighter than fan-cooled models.
- Designed for embedded and industrial applications.
New Industrial Mini PC with Solid-State Cooling
Aaeon, an embedded and industrial computing specialist, has introduced the Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air, a new fanless mini PC. This device incorporates Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processors and utilizes Frore’s AirJet ultrasonic membrane technology for active cooling. The integration of AirJet technology allows the mini PC to operate at less than 21 dBA, making it virtually silent.
Compact Design for Specialized Applications
The AirJet cooling system contributes to a 35% reduction in thickness and a 43% reduction in weight compared to mini PCs with traditional heatsink and fan cooling. This compact design targets embedded and industrial markets, including ultra-thin kiosk setups, low-clearance AMR housing, and compact mobile healthcare units. The absence of fan-induced vibration is also highlighted as a benefit for these applications, as well as for robotic controllers, actuators, sensors, and cameras.
Industrial-Grade Connectivity and Specifications
The Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air features industrial-specific I/O, including two COM ports for RS-232/422/485 and a 40-pin GPIO, in addition to standard USB-A, USB-C, LAN, audio, and video outputs. It supports up to four displays simultaneously. Processor options include the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, Ultra 7 356H, or Ultra 5 325, with the X7 model featuring an Intel Arc B390 iGPU with 12 Xe-cores. The system supports up to 128GB of DDR5 SODIMMs at 7,200 MT/s and two M.2 2280 SSDs, plus an M.2 2230 slot for wireless connectivity.
Trade-offs in Performance and Environment
While achieving a slim, light, and quiet design, the AirJet cooler introduces some trade-offs. Aaeon notes a 6% increase in power consumption and a narrower operating temperature range of -10°C to 45°C for this design. The mini PC supports Windows IoT Enterprise or Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
