First Intel Panther Lake mini PC cooled with solid-state AirJet tech operates at less than 21 dBA
Aaeon's UP Xtreme PTL Edge Air is the first Panther Lake mini PC we've seen with AirJet technology for ultra-low-noise active cooling.
Aaeon, an embedded and industrial computing specialist, has unveiled a fanless mini PC called the Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air, which operates at less than 21 dBA due to its innovative Frore AirJet ultrasonic membrane cooling technology. This cooling method allows the mini PC designers to create a device that is "35% thinner and 43% lighter" compared to traditional heatsink and fan-cooled models.
The Aaeon Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air is designed for space-constrained applications, such as ultra-thin kiosk setups, low-clearance AMR housing, and compact mobile healthcare units.
The mini PC features a range of ports, including USB-A and USB-C, LAN, audio, and various video outputs, as well as two COM ports for RS-232/422/485 and a 40-pin GPIO. It can be connected to up to four displays simultaneously and can be equipped with Intel Core Ultra processors, with options for the X7, Ultra 7 356H, or Ultra 5 325 models. The X7 model comes with the powerful Intel Arc B390 iGPU featuring 12 Xe-cores. The mini PC supports up to two DDR5 SODIMMs with a maximum capacity of 128GB and speeds of 7,200 MT/s.
With two M.2 2280 SSDs and a 2230 slot for the wireless card, the Aaeon Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air offers impressive storage capabilities. However, the cooling technology comes with a trade-off, as it results in a "6% increase in power consumption" and a narrower operating temperature range of -10°C to 45°C. The mini PC can run Windows IoT Enterprise or Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Pricing information is not provided, and potential buyers will need to contact Aaeon directly for pricing based on their specific requirements.
