Fanless, IP55 frontSAM4S Forza-135 15 inch Fanless Touch Terminal, Core i3, White and Silver
The light finish of the Forza range, sealed to IP55 and built without a single vent.

Most point of sale hardware is black because most of it hides under a counter. This one does not. The Forza-135 in white and silver is for the front of a cafe, a pharmacy, a clinic reception or a boutique, anywhere the terminal is part of the room rather than equipment to be hidden. The finish is the only thing that changes: underneath it is the same machine as the black build we also stock.
That machine is a fanless 15 inch true flat terminal on an Intel Core i3-7100U, a 7th generation Kaby Lake part at 2.40GHz with 3MB of SmartCache, carrying 4GB of DDR4 and a 128GB M.2 SSD on Windows 10 IoT LTSC 64 bit. The front panel is rated IP55 against dust and water and the chassis has no ventilation hole anywhere, which is what makes that rating mean something in practice.
White hardware shows marks, so the sealing matters moreA light finish on a counter is unforgiving: every coffee splash and every smear shows. An IP55 front panel on a vent free chassis is what lets staff wipe this terminal down properly rather than dabbing around it, which is the difference between a terminal that still looks new in a year and one that does not.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IP55 protect against?
Dust and low pressure water jets, on the front panel. It is the reason this terminal belongs on a counter that gets wiped down or splashed rather than dusted. It is a resistant front, not a unit to be hosed.
Is the Core i3 worth paying for in a till?
It depends what else runs on it. For one point of sale application a Celeron copes. For a till plus browser based reporting plus a payment client, the i3-7100U and its 3MB of SmartCache hold up where a Celeron slows.
Why does fanless matter so much in hospitality?
A fan is a moving part that fails, and a vent is a hole that pulls flour, steam and cooking grease into the electronics. This chassis has neither, which is also what makes the sealed front panel worth having.
How much memory and storage does it ship with?
4GB of DDR4 and a 128GB M.2 SSD. It supports M.2 storage, so a larger drive can be specified at build.
Is it hard to service?
No. It is designed for easy assembly and maintenance, so routine work such as a storage change does not mean a full strip down.
How long is the warranty?
36 months return to base.
