All-in-One PC for POS, POI, Kiosk Applications

The Shuttle XPC all-in-one X50V7 is the latest addition to the X50 Series and is powered by Intel's Celeron 4205U processor. The new Whiskey Lake-U processor architecture helps improve on power consumption and computing power. Thanks to its passive cooling, the system is virtually noiseless, maintenance-free and approved for 24/7 nonstop operation. Particularly suitable for vertical applications is the arrangement of connectors at the bottom and the IP54 compliant front panel which is dust-protected and protected from splashing of water.

Fanless and whisper-quiet

The fanless technology used in this PC means it is incredibly quiet. Doing away with these mechanical components also reduces the number of wearing parts, making the machine more durable and stable.

Low energy consumption

Thrift is a virtue. In terms of power consumption this Mini-PC sets an example. It is not just good for the environment but for your pocket, too.

Resistive touch screen

The resistive touch screen allows operation even without skin contact, e.g. with gloves or a pen, and is therefore particularly suitable for demanding environments.

Rapid system and program start-up thanks to NVMe support

SSDs are already very fast compared to hard disks. But what is possible thanks to M.2 modules with PCIe Express technology really takes your breath away. The NVMe modules process several gigabytes per second and thus ensure the system starts up in just a few seconds with noticeably shorter program start-up times.

Suitable for constant operation

Work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As it does not use any moving parts, such as a fan, this Mini-PC is approved for constant operation. This means lower maintenance costs and a longer lifespan.

Multiformat card reader

At last – no more searching for missing digital camera leads. Simply insert the memory card and you can access all stored photos and videos immediately.

Utilising mobile technology

An array of components from mobile devices are put to use in this Mini-PC. You can tell straight away by how quiet it is. The energy-saving technologies of the components used generate minimal heat, therefore additional fans are not required. The energy you save will soon be reflected in your electricity bills in the medium to long term.

Anti-theft protection

The Kensington Lock forms part of the anti-theft system. As with many other Notebooks, this Mini-PC can also be safely locked, ensuring long-term enjoyment from your Shuttle product.

Inbuilt stereo speakers

Two powerful speakers are elegantly integrated into the design and deliver astonishingly good sound quality. And when more power is needed, you can attach external speakers via audio jacks.

Suitable for Linux operating systems

This model was successfully tested with openSUSE Linux by Novell. All machine functions worked without problem immediately after installation.

Connections without all those annoying cables

Data is transferred by WLAN completely without cables. Accessing the Internet and local network resources (e.g. printers) is now child's play when within range of an access point/hotspot.

Solid base

Folded 180° vertically, the chrome anti-slip pedestal can be used as a carrying handle. A particularly clever solution from Shuttle's engineers.

Keeping in touch

The revolutionary touchscreen allows this Mini-PC to be controlled without the use of mouse or keyboard. Touching the screen with a finger or stylus takes the place of the mouse. And with a virtual keyboard, entries can be made directly on the screen.

Securely attached

The practical VESA mounting surface on the back of the device enables it to be attached to monitor arms or wall mounts. The VESA format is standardised, making it suitable for most mounts.

Integrated Webcam

The inbuilt Webcam enables problem-free video telephony and video conferencing in high-quality megapixel format.

Fan-less external power supply

A highly effective external power supply provides the Shuttle Mini-PC with its energy. And since it works without a fan, it is completely noise-free.

Communication in the fast lane

The integrated gigabit LAN chipset opens up completely new possibilities for communication with no restriction on the speed of data transfer. Say goodbye to information bottlenecks, whether in the company network or for home Internet access.

Always-on Jumper

This machine is provided with a hardware solution to keep it permanently switched on (e.g. after a power outage). If you remove the jumper documented in the manual, the PC then starts as soon as the power supply is restored.

The fastest connection to external peripheral devices available to date

The USB 3.0 connectors of this model allow for data transfer of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s). This enables external devices such as USB hard disks to be connected and run at nearly the same speed as their internal siblings. USB 3.0 is downward compatible so that also devices of previous USB generations can be hooked up.

Just 2.5" HDDs

An extremely compact PC housing offers less space for drives, that's why this Mini-PC uses slimline 2.5-inch hard disks. The advantage of this is that there's less noise, less heat generated and reduced power consumption. However small hard disks in a small housing does not have to mean less memory. Modern 2.5" HDDs are every bit as good as their 3.5" brothers.

You can rely on SSD

This is where an energy-saving "Solid State Drive" should be used. This drive technology guarantees extremely short access times, the highest data transmission rates and considerably lower energy consumption compared to conventional hard disks. SSDs have no mechanical components at all, are therefore subject to less wear and tear and consequently benefit from a longer service life.

HDMI interface

Goodbye cable spaghetti! Modern flat-screen TVs and large-format TFT screens can be connected to this Mini-PC with just a single thin cable. Often the audio output is also transferred in brilliant quality via the HDMI cable.

Intel chipset inside

Play it safe with the reliable chipsets from the world's largest chip manufacturer. Intel chipsets have proven themselves over many years, have been presented with awards by the trade press and offer the best possible degree of compatibility.

The interface for the fastest of memory media

Internal drives to be used inside this Mini-PC can transfer data at a speed of up to 6 Gbit/s. Hard drives thus run significantly faster and brand-new media technologies such as SSDs can use their full potential. Be sure to look for SATA 6 Gbit/s.
