Intel NUC 13 Rugged "Bravo Canyon" fanless Alder Lake

The Intel NUC 13 Rugged, codenamed "Bravo Canyon, is an upcoming fanless and dust-resistant mini PC powered by an Alder Lake-N processor and designed for 24/7 operation suitable for business and industrial applications, albeit just in a 0°C to 40°C or 50°C temperature range.

The rugged computer is offered with either an external or internal heatsink, supports up to 16GB DDR5 memory, comes with 64GB eMMC flash, M.2 sockets for NVMe and/or SATA SSDs, two 4Kp60 capable HDMI 2.1 ports, two 2.5GbE networking interfaces, four USB 3.2/2.0 ports, and optional support for WiFi 6, 4G LTE cellular connectivity, and an internal expansion bay.

Intel NUC 13 specifications:

Intels says the Intel NUC 13 Rugged supports Windows 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 operating systems, as well as the Intel NUC Pro Software Suite for Windows & Linux used to monitor/restart unresponsive applications and provide failover display services for digital signage deployments.

The mini PC will ship with a 65W or 90W power supply adapter with country-specific power cords, support multiple mounting options such as cable ties, direct-to-wall, 100mm VESA, keyholes, and DIN rail, and has been qualified for 24×7 sustained operation with up to 80% activity over five years.

The "Bravo Canyon" mini PCs have not been officially announced yet, and the information above comes from a catalog published on Mouser, so we don't have pricing and availability information, but FanlessTech reports they will "be priced extremely competitively". We also know the Intel NUC 13 Rugged will be sold with a three-year limited warranty, the company offer at least five-year product availability, and be available either as a kit or an SBC (single board computer).
