The new Aqua range of marine PCs from Digital Yacht bring affordable low power computing to every boat. All models utilise the latest generation of Intel processors and a highly efficient DC power supply to offer exceptionally low power consumption (from just 15W) as well as fast computing capabilities. Whilst fully customisable, four basic models fit the majority of marine requirements.
Aqua PC (Standard)
Aqua PC Standard is designed as a general purpose, great value on board PC. It’s fitted with two NMEA ports, a 160GB ruggedised hard drive fitted in an anti vibration enclosure, 1 GB of RAM and a CD/DVD drive. Standard connections include three USB ports, a VGA and DVI port allowing the system to drive up to two compatible LCD monitors and all the standard system connectors for keyboard, audio and network.
Utilising an exceptionally low power Intel Atom N270 processor, the Aqua Standard PC is completely fanless and consumes just 1.5A. Offering Netbook type performance, it is ideal for general purpose computing; Office applications, E-Mail, Web Browsing, watching DVDs, playing music, etc. and is powerful enough to run all of the popular Navigational Software packages.
For users wishing to run the latest and most sophisticated navigational software (3D charting, weather routing, bathy generation, etc) or who want instant redraw and panning, then the Aqua Pro PC whould be considered, but for the majority of users, the Aqua Standard PC offers the perfect compromise between current consumption and computing performance.
