First Intel Panther Lake mini PC cooled with solid-state AirJet tech operates at less than 21 dBA — Aaeon claims its fanless Up Xtreme PTL Edge Air is also slimmer, lighter than actively-cooled rivals

Hardware manufacturer Aaeon has unveiled an edge computing system powered by Intel Panther Lake processors that utilises solid-state AirJet cooling mechanisms. The compact unit is claimed to operate under 21 decibels while achieving a thinner and lighter form factor than traditionally fan-cooled systems. The development marks an early commercial deployment of membrane-based thermal dissipation paired with Intel's latest silicon architecture.
