Intense PC was designed with customisation and extensibility in mind, with the design of the mini PC making the hard disk, RAM and mini-PCIe cards are all accessible through a one-screw service door at the bottom of the computer.

Other features of the CompuLab Intense PC include HDMI connection supporting 3D and up to 1920 x 1200, 2 x Gb Ethernet ports, 2 x USB 3.0 ports, 2 x USB 2.0 and a RS232 full UART via mini serial connector.

CompuLab expertise in tight integration and advanced thermal design was found to be critical during the development of Intense PC,”-“We see bringing this kind of performance into a fanless design as a major achievement. Intense PC consumes just 8W in idle, yet both CPU cores can reach 2.4 GHz when Intel® Turbo Boost kicks in – thanks in large part to the groundbreaking power management of the 2nd Generation Intel® CoreTM i7 Processor.
