Goodbye BRICK NM10, hello BRICK J1900

22.09.2016

Changes in the BRICK series are imminent: The spo-book BRICK NM10 (MS-9A29) is being discontinued (EoL). With the BRICK J1900 (MS-9A69) and the BRICK i3, for even more power, successor models of the third generation are now available.

New dimensions and connections

The product change results in modified dimensions and connections. Instead of 43 x 195 x 135 millimeters, the external dimensions of the spo-book BRICK J1900 are now 55 x 200 x 155 millimeters. This provides space for even more connections: The new model now has six COM interfaces on the front panel instead of four. The USB ports have also been expanded from four to six, one of which complies with the latest 3.0 standard. In addition to two audio connections, a DIO connection is now also available. The two LAN interfaces can optionally be expanded to four.

Even more robust

While four gigabytes of RAM was the maximum for the BRICK NM10, the BRICK J1900 can now be fitted with up to eight gigabytes. As usual, an HDD and MLC and SLC SSDs are available as mass storage devices. The temperature range increases from 0°C to 40°C to -10°C to 50°C.

Current software

The selection of operating systems is now also up to date. While the BRICK NM10 only offered Windows 7 in the 32-bit version, the spo-book BRICK J1900 is also available with Windows 10 in addition to Windows 7 64-bit. Windows Embedded and Linux are also still available. Anyone who is dependent on a 32-bit operating system for their application can also switch to the BRICK J1900 without any problems. Although spo-comm does not actively offer this variant, the appropriate drivers can be provided.

Price reduction

The spo-book BRICK NM10 is still available until the end of the year. The price of its successor, the BRICK J1900, has already been reduced. To make the changeover easier for you, we provide a free trial version at any time. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The BRICK series, which was developed together with MSI IPC and is characterized by passive cooling and multiple COM interfaces, has been in existence since 2009. The Mini PCs are mainly used in the Industrial Control and KIOSK/POS sectors.
