Cincoze CV-211C is a family of 21.5-inch modular slim panel PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra 3/5/7 Meteor Lake-PS SoC (P2302 Series), Core i3-1215UE or Core-i5-1245UE Alder Lake processor (P2202 Series), Core i3-8145UE or Core i5-8365UE Whiskey Lake SoC (P2102 Series), or Core i3-6100U or Core i5-6300U Skylake processor (P2002 Series).
All are advertised as new models, despite some being powered by Skylake processors released in 2015. They share similar key features such as up to a 21.5-inch TFT panel with 1920×1080 resolution, VGA output, dual Ethernet, three to four USB 3.2 ports, and more. We’ll focus on the Cincoze CV-211C P2302 Series in this article.

The company provides support for Windows 11, Windows 10 (LTSC), and Linux through Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS. While the CV-221C panel PCs may be new, it’s quite clear that the fanless embedded box PCs, which are part of the design, have been released over the year, and we wrote about the Alder Lake-P-based Cincoze P2202 Series in December 2023. 21.5-inch panels were available at the time, and the main difference I can see with the new CV-221C panels is their slim bezel.
Those panel PCs are modular in several ways. First, the panel itself and the computer are separate and connected through the CDS interface. So you can mix a specific panel with a size from 10-inch to 21.5-inch with a computer that matches your cost and feature requirements. Additionally, the embedded box PC features CFM (Control Function Module) interfaces to add features such as IGN or PoE expansion, besides several M.2 sockets, plus two slots found in the P2302E.
Cincoze didn’t provide pricing information for the new slim panel PCs, but they appear to be available now. More information about the full CV-200/P2000 Series can be found on the product page.
