Intense PC Pro now available

The Intense PC Pro is a tiny, fanless, powerful, energy-efficient desktop PC, able to handle any desktop environment.

Developed with a focus on miniaturisation, energy-efficiency and performance, the compact Intense PC Pro uses less than 10W when idle, and up to 27W under full load, while providing blazing fast performance with its powerful 1.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 CPU.

The Intense PC offers an extremely rich interactive experience, with dual-head HDMI display, DisplayPort technology, digital and analogue audio, and up to 16GB of RAM.

This small low-power PC also has remarkable connectivity, with dual gigabit ethernet, wireless ethernet, Bluetooth and up to 8 USB ports, and can run either Windows or Linux.

The Intense PC is ideal for high-performance applications such as graphic design, office desktops, classroom computers, point-of-sale (POS) systems and home entertainment and can even function as a specialised router.

The Intense PC is easily the most powerful miniature fanless PC ever!
