Built around AMD's 500MHz Geode LX800 processor and CS5536 companion chip, Axiomtek's GOT-5100TL is obviously not designed to be a computing powerhouse. But, the company says, the device is compact, runs fanlessly, and is up to the job of running Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Embedded, or Windows CE.

The GOT-5100TL has a 10.4-inch touchscreen display that has a maximum resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. The system is said to comply with the NEMA 4 and IP65 standards for resistance to dust and liquids. It measures just 1.75 inches thick, and may be mounted on a desktop stand, on the wall, or via VESA-compatible brackets, according to Axiomtek.

Axiomtek says the GOT-5100TL can accept a maximum of 1GB DDR memory, installed in a single SO-DIMM slot. For persistent storage, there's room internally for both a 2.5-inch HDD and a CompactFlash card, the latter accessible via a slot on the left side of the unit.

The GOT-5100TL is also said to provide a Mini PCI expansion slot, capable of accepting an optional wireless networking card. It appears that accessing either the Mini PCI slot or the HDD bay on the device requires undoing six screws on the back of the GOT-5100TL; not too onerous a burden for what would probably be a one-time operation.
