Avalue Technology NUC-APL and NUC-APL-slim mini fanless systems

Avalue Technology has released the NUC-APL and NUC-APL-slim fanless systems, built around Intel’s Next Unit of Computing (NUC) small form factor PC.

The NUC-APL is a tiny PC with a powerful processor, fast memory and massive storage comparable to full-size desktop PCs. It features the Intel Celeron Processor J3455/N3350 and offers dual HDMI, one DP, multiple USB3.0 ports and two COM ports on the rear side for use in various applications and scenarios. Adopted with Intel HD graphics, the product can handle HD media and more demanding applications than traditional low-power systems, the company claims, with high performance and a TDP of less than 22 W.

Avalue is also releasing another small-form-factor barebone computer — the NUC-APL-slim — with the same CPU, the same HD graphics and the same connection I/O ports arrangement as the NUC-APL, while removing one 2.5″ hard drive, one COM port and one DP port. This makes it more compact for space-limited applications, with the option to install a solid-state M.2 module for storage.

The systems are armed for light industrial general-purpose applications, such as smart gateway, smart retail, smart education, smart service, videoconferencing and control units.
