The fanless Alder Lake mini PC supports VESA mounting and wall mounting, and ASRock can provide DIN-rail mounting upon request. It ships with a 19V/90W power adapter, a screw package, a wall mount kit, and a bracket for M.2 2280 SSD support. The company only lists Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems for iBOX 1200 embedded BOX PCs, so it’s unclear whether Linux is properly supported.
Pricing and availability information has not been made public. Further details may be found on the product page.

So far I’ve been unsuccessful in figuring out how the acronym CNX stands for “no pricing or availability” that ends nearly every article. It’s especially frustrating there’s never any follow up when those do become public. Any clues, anyone?
Whoa, how about Completeness (or Completion) Not Xpected?

Pricing information for industrial/embedded devices is not always available, as some companies may not want to disclose it because devices can be customized, usually ordered in volume (price will vary depending on volume/requirements), and others may have different pricing depending on the region.
What’s a good way to buy such a device in a retail customer setting?
Some companies will sometimes sell samples to individuals, but usually, they’ll ask for a company email, expected volume, project schedule, and so on. So that means people should probably look for other similar devices for the consumer market.
