Like the Winmate version, the American Industrial Systems device will ship with Microsoft's Windows Embedded Standard 7. A preinstalled OS image -- in a 120-day evaluation version optimized for digital signage usage -- is included along with a recovery DVD, AIS says.
According to AIS, the DSK-i5XPC uses Intel's Core i5-520M, one of the embedded-specific CPUs launched by the chipmaker in January. The CPU has a base clock speed of 2.4GHz and Turbo Boost speed of 2.93GHz, dual cores, and a 35-Watt TDP. It's teamed here, as intended, with Intel's QM57 Express chipset.
AIS says the DSK-i5XPC has 4GB of DDR3 memory, supplied via two SODIMM sockets, plus a 2.5-inch SATA hard disk drive of unspecified capacity. Intel-supplied components also provide gigabit Ethernet and 802.11a/b/g/n wireless networking, the latter via a Mini PCI Express module (WiMax is orderable, the company says).
The DSK-i5XPC's front panel (pictured above) includes audio jacks (mic in, line in, line out) and two USB 2.0 ports, says AIS. The rear panel (also above), meanwhile, has two more USB 2.0 ports, the gigabit Ethernet port, and four video outputs: DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI, and VGA. (The company does not cite potential resolutions nor how many of these outputs may be used at once.)
Features and specifications listed by AIS for the DSK-i5XPC include:

AIS did not release pricing or availability information for the DSK-i5XPC, but the device appears to be available now. More information may be found on the company's website, here.
