Where to buy
Fanless – compact – energy efficient
The Orbsmart AW-12 is a Windows 11 Mini PC with extremely compact dimensions (13 x 13 x 4 cm). The case has a high-quality build and the passive and completely fanless cooling allows for absolutely silent operation. The power consumption is only a few watts even under full load.
Intel Gemini Lake Refresh
The Orbsmart AW-12 uses the latest Intel chip generation “Gemini Lake Refresh” with the powerful quad-core Intel™ Celeron™ J4125 processor (@2.00 GHz / burst freq: 2.70 GHz) plus 8GB DDR4 RAM RAM and the Intel™ HD Graphics 600 unit. The performance offers more than enough power reserves even for demanding office applications, web browsing or smaller games. Take the test yourself! You also have 128GB of internal storage at your disposal. This can be expanded by up to 512GB via a microSD card.
Windows™ 11 Professional
The highlight: a full Windows 11 Professional (64-bit) version is already pre-installed as the operating system. Turn any monitor or TV into a complete PC with this Windows Mini PC. All programs supported by Windows 11 such as Microsoft Office, VLC, TeamViewer, Skype & Co can be installed without any problems.
4K ULTRA HD
The Orbsmart Windows Computer supports resolutions up to 2160p (60Hz) thanks to the integrated HDMI™ 2.0 and/or DisplayPort 1.2 connector. Enjoy ultra-high definition video or pictures – no need to buy an additional computer. In addition, a third monitor can be connected via VGA.
Triple Display
In addition to HDMI and DisplayPort, a VGA port is also built into the case (VGA cable not included). This allows up to three monitors to be used simultaneously as an additional display.
2.5" HDD bay + M2.SSD
Another highlight in the Orbsmart AW-12: a 2.5″ SATA hard drive or SSD (max. 9.5 mm height) can be installed quickly and easily via the base plate. Thus, the storage space can be expanded in a space-saving way without an additional external USB hard drive or microSD card. In addition, you can use an M2. NVMe SSD slot (2280) freely available.
USB 3.1
With this mini PC box, three USB 3.1 ports are freely available. One of them is already a modern USB 3.1 Type-C port (only for data exchange & power supply). Basically, any mouse/keyboard (e.g. Orbsmart AM-2), airmouse (e.g. Orbsmart WA-1), USB stick/hard drive or DVD/BD drive can be connected without any problems.
High Connectivity
The AW-12 Mini PC Windows 11 offers high connectivity. The external WIFI antenna (dual band 2.4/5 GHz) with WLAN-ac standard offers a high range and data rates. Alternatively, the Gigabit LAN port provides a stable connection to your router or home network. Additional devices can be connected with Bluetooth 4.2.
Scope of delivery
Ready to go: the AW-12 offers a wide range of accessories. Besides an HDMI 2.0 cable, EU power supply, thermal pad (for M.2 SSD) and German manual, a mount for a TV/monitor (VESA 75×75 / 100×100) is also included.
