Unique Features

The 650 truly has some unique features not hitherto seen on an integrated touch screen computer before. These features allow for a great deal of versatility in how the 650 can be configured and used. A quick list of unique features is as follows:

Intel’s Desktop Processor Socket LGA 775

By using the new generation of Intel’s green processors and chipsets, a very wide range of processors can be used in the 650 system. From a Celeron single core processor running fan less at 1 GHz to a 2.667GHz Core 2 Duo with 1GHz FSB and 4MB cache, the performance range is truly unique.

Most POS computers use Intel’s Mobile processor and chipset to keep heat and power down. This is fine but the performance is lower and the cost is higher for Mobile processor solutions. By taking advantage of J2 company’s and partners’ vast experience with notebook, desktop, and POS computer designs, we are able to combine features of all three for an optimal POS system design. The result is a POS system that can utilize a desktop chipset that draws very little power and generates a low amount of heat, similar to mobile chipsets and processors.

Notebook quality components are used in the processor, chipset, and power supply circuit, which allow greatly for reduced heat generation and minimal power usage. Additionally, the 650 takes full advantage of the low power features built into the Intel processor and chipset to further reduce heat.

Hot Swappable RAID/ Dual Hard Drives

The 650 is the first integrated POS system on the market to offer a hot swappable RAID feature. The two internal 2.5 inch SATA hard drives can be configured as a RAID array which gives true fault tolerance to the hard drive subsystem. This has not been available on an integrated POS device before!

Green Mode / Fan less Operation

By changing one setting in the BIOS, the 650 can be configured to function as a fan-less POS system. In this mode the standard 1.6GHz processor and chipset run in a reduced power mode which means that the two fans are off and the 650 is convection cooled. The system performance in green mode is greater than other fan-less POS systems on the market, with the 650 benchmarking near the same performance as a 1.3GHz Celeron M processor based system. This patent pending feature is unique to J2.
