Using Intel’s T5450 or T5550 Core 2 Duo processors providing 1.6GHz and 1.8GHz speeds coupled with up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, the power of the APC-3×17 needs good thermal management which is provided by the use of a heat pipe, which channels heat to the rear of the device, which acts as a large heat sink.

The APC-3×17 has a VGA port for an external monitor, three serial ports, four USB ports, and two PS/2 connectors for a keyboard and a mouse. Microphone-in, line-in, and line-out audio jacks are also provided.

The RoHS-compliant APC-3×17 has a front bezel that meets the IP65 standard for resistance to dust and liquids and has an operating temperature range of 0 to 50 deg.C
