DFRobot’s LattePanda Iota squeezes full‑blown x86 capability into a board that measures just 88 × 70 × 19 mm. Equipped with an Intel N1500 quad‑core processor, 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM and 64 GB eMMC, it runs Windows 10/11 or Ubuntu. Its 51 W PoE capability means installation can skip separate power adapters.

Included accessories cover cooling, power resilience and connectivity: an active aluminum cooler, a Smart UPS HAT supporting three 18650 cells, a 51 W PoE++ HAT that delivers power and gigabit Ethernet over a single cable, an M.2 4G LTE board, an M‑Key slot for NVMe storage, and an Intel AX210 Wi‑Fi 6E card. Together they expand the Iota beyond typical hobby SBCs.

At a bundle price of $278.50 before batteries or a 4G module, the Iota lands between a high‑end Raspberry Pi and a mini‑PC, offering native Windows support that many ARM boards lack. For kiosk deployments, remote monitoring or compact home‑lab servers, the platform delivers enough horsepower and modularity to replace larger boxes without sacrificing software compatibility.
