The BOXER-6617-ASL is nearly identical to the BOXER-6617-ADN, but the new fanless industrial box PC features Intel Atom x7000RE “Amston Lake”  CPUs with a 10-year life cycle, while the ADN variant is offered with a choice of Alder Lake-N processors instead.

AAEON provides support for Windows 10 and 11 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11 Pro, and Ubuntu 22.04 (Linux). Target applications include autonomous mobile robots (AMR), smart cities, CNC devices, and other use cases that may benefit from the long-term support, wide DC input range, wide temperature range, and/or a large number of COM ports.

The AAEON BOXER-6617-ASL embedded PC is not sold online for now, but for reference, the BOXER-6617-ADN embedded computer can be purchased for $566 (Processor N50, barebone model without memory and storage).  More information can be found on the press release and the product page.
