Hanzsung Embedded Barebone i5-8265U m. NT - Embedded PC/Single Board Computer

When a standard desktop is too bulky and a typical NUC lacks the connectivity for industrial tasks, the HANZSUNG Embedded Barebone i5-8265U steps in. This fanless mini PC pairs an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8265U with dual Gigabit Ethernet and legacy serial ports, making it a natural fit for digital signage, thin-client rollouts, or always-on kiosk systems. The barebone design lets integrators choose their own DDR4 memory, M.2 or 2.5-inch storage, and optional Wi-Fi module, so every deployment can be tailored without paying for unused hardware.

Highlights

• Intel Core i5-8265U, 4 cores / 8 threads, up to 3.9 GHz turbo
• Fanless, sealed chassis for silent, dust-resistant operation
• Dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet for reliable wired networking
• 2x RS232 COM ports for legacy industrial peripherals
• Supports up to 64 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM across two slots
• Dual storage: M.2 2280 NVMe/SATA SSD + 2.5" SATA bay
• HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2 for dual 4K-capable displays
• Wide 12V–19V DC input for flexible power integration

In daily use

The i5-8265U delivers ample performance for multitasking, light virtualization, and 4K video playback while staying within a low 15 W TDP. Because the chassis has no moving parts, there is no fan noise or dust buildup, which is essential in medical carts, factory floors, or quiet office environments. Dual LAN ports allow the system to serve as a compact router, firewall, or failover gateway, while the two COM ports keep older barcode scanners, receipt printers, or CNC controllers in service without USB adapters.
