Jetway B420UADN1 is a compact Intel N97 fanless mini PC designed for kiosks and digital signage applications with support for up to three independent 4K displays through four display interfaces: HDMI, DisplayPort, and two USB-C with DP Alt mode.
At first, I thought we had already covered it since the Jetway B420PADN1 embedded box PC has a similar design, but it only comes with one HDMI port. The new B420UADN1 fanless mini PC also supports DDR5 SO-DIMM memory and M.2 NVMe or SATA storage, and offers two 2.5GbE ports, optional WiFi/Bluetooth support, a 3.5mm audio jack, a few USB 3.2/2.0 Type-A ports, and an RS-232/442/485 COM port for peripherals like barcode readers.

The Intel N97 digital signage player ships with a wall and VESA mount kit, a screw pack, and a 12V/5A lockable power adapter with a region-specific power cord. The company lists Windows 11 (64-bit), Windows 10 (64-bit), and Linux operating systems for the mini PC. Since the consumer variants of Windows 10 are not supported anymore, this likely means Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, or a similar Windows version with long-term support.
As noted in the specifications, two variants of the B420UADN1 are offered: the A111 with an integrated fTPM inside the N97 SoC and the A211 with a discrete TPM 2.0 (dTPM) chip on the mainboard. The former might be fine for digital signage applications and information kiosks, but systems equipped with a payment terminal or sectors requiring specific security compliance may be better served with a dTPM.
