Compucon Black Pearl II is released in December 2011 and is an upgraded version of Black Pearl which was released in October 2010.  It maintains the same special features of being very small in size and using open standard components.  It maintains the same feature of having a standard VESA mounting bracket to go onto the back of a LCD screen.  The improvement is mainly in the availability of a SATA hard disk of 320GB or larger in lieu of an IC based 4GB Disk-on-Module for software and data storage.  Owing to the ample bulk storage size, Black Pearl II is capable of having the standard desktop verion of Windows 7 Professional and this is a big plus for software compatibility and project rollout. 

Compucon has done a long period of thermal tests to assure that this unit will run well in a 24x7 manner.  It is suitable for deployment for commercial or industrial applications that demand reliability.  It has a standard LAN port.
