In-CarPC Hardware
As standard we offer a total of 9 different types of vehicle PC, ranging from an incredibly small Pico PC with a Via C7 1.0 GHz processor, up to a slightly bigger but still very compact Mini system with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz processor. We build all our PCs ourselves at our Bristol offices, which gives us complete control over the hardware we use, and allows us to rapidly produce bespoke computers for customers that have special requirements.
All our computers are designed specifically for use in a vehicle, and accept 12V or 24V directly from the battery or fuse box, without requiring an inverter or any additional power supplies. Featuring intelligent internal automotive power supplies, our PCs can turn themselves on and off automatically with the vehicle ignition, and do not reboot when the vehicle's engine is cranked during starting.
All our PCs apart from the Pico systems also feature an auxiliary power output socket that provides a regulated 12V power source (up to 1.5A) for accessories such as LCD displays. As standard we preinstall either Windows XP Professional (with Service Pack 3), or Windows Vista Business (with Service Pack 1).
We can supply our PCs either on their own for you or your company to install (click here for prices), or as part of a fully installed vehicle computer system (click here for a quote).
Our nine standard models are divided into two families, Mini and Pico:
In-CarPC Mini Vehicle Computers
Our Mini vehicle PCs are similar in size to a typical 6-CD changer unit, and as such are very easy to install into almost any vehicle. Designed specifically for the harsh environment of a vehicle, and housed in a tough aluminium enclosure, our Mini systems are highly reliable and are offered in an extensive range of configurations.
As standard we offer our Mini systems with a choice of two processor types - the highly efficient Via C7, or, for applications where more processing power is required, the critically acclaimed Intel Core 2 Duo.

In-CarPC Pico Vehicle Computers
Using the smallest motherboard manufactured today, our Pico vehicle PCs are designed for applications where space is in very short supply. Measuring a mere 13 x 13.5 x 6.5 cm, they can be installed into the smallest of spaces.
