Hi,

Yes, but lets dive into a few key points. The i7 they state it has is actually only a single core from it and not the full cpu. The memory of the device is really small so unless you want a database to run on a usb, its not really optimal.

We run both edge and gateway on them however we are moving to the Beckhoff IPC for better performance. When I say this thing is slow, I mean our raspberry pi 4 with 8gb run better…

Also they run Windows 2016 LTSC not current Windows 10 IOT.

Let me know if you need any help working through the group policies on the rockwell firewall side or installation.
