Tiny fanless mini-PC runs Ubuntu on Braswell NUC

Mar 4, 2016 — by Eric Brown 3,967 views

Logic Supply unveiled a tiny, Intel NUC based “CL100” mini-PC that runs Ubuntu on a quad-core “Braswell” Celeron N3150, and has no vents or moving parts.

Like Logic Supply’s rugged ML100 mini-PC, the CL100 is based on a fanless, Intel NUC design that runs Ubuntu Linux or Windows on a quad-core Intel Celeron processor. Yet, the CL100 is considerably smaller at 117 x 112 x 36.7mm. The computer also advances from a “Bay Trail” Intel Celeron to a 14nm-fabricated. 1.6GHz “Braswell” Celeron N3150 with Intel Gen8 graphics.

The CL100 uses Logic Supply’s Hardshell Fanless Technology featuring a rugged, cast aluminum steel chassis, heatsink-based solid state cooling, and a sealed, ventless case for ingress protection. It’s aimed primarily at commercial temperature industrial applications, but with its triple independent display support, it can also be used for applications like home theater and signage. The system is debuting Mar. 16-17 at the Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas.

The base CL100 system includes 2GB of RAM, expandable to 16GB, and a 32GB mSATA SSD expandable to 512GB. A GbE port is available along with a mini-PCIe slot for wireless expansion, backed up by dual antenna holes. For displays, you get dual HDMI ports and a DisplayPort.

The system is equipped with a USB Type C port as well as three USB 3.0 ports and an audio jack. The 12V system consumes less than 15 Watts, and runs within a 0 to 40°C range, says Logic Supply

PLEASE COMMENT BELOW

One response to “Tiny fanless mini-PC runs Ubuntu on Braswell NUC”

  1. Mr Wiggin of Ironside & Malone says:

    “it can also be used for applications like home theater”

    This is true but there are less expensive alternatives which provide more CPU power and more drive space and more USB ports.

    This is clearly priced for commercial users and with its minimum temperature of only 0 degrees C, it is obviously not suitable for outdoor locations in many locations during the winter months.

    With its sealed, ventless case for ingress protection, it could possibly provide an alternative to the Adlink Food-C15/C17/C19 IP69K (reviewed last year by LinuxGizmos) for operators of meat packing plants, although a monitor suitable for such an environment would have to be purchased separately.
