ROBUST is a compact, all-solid-state RISC OS computer built around an overclocked ARM v8 processor capable of running at up to 2.28 GHz. Encased in a sturdy aluminium NUC-style chassis, it combines high-speed components with practical design features to deliver both reliability and performance At its core, ROBUST uses a 32 GB eMMC flash drive for boot and operating firmware—offering significantly faster performance than conventional SD cards—paired with up to 240 GB of SSD storage for applications, data, or even a separate Linux installation accessible from within RISC OS .Its 4 GB of LPDDR4-3200 RAM ensures responsive multitasking and smooth operation across complex tasks Designed to run cool and quietly, ROBUST features both a heatsink and a fan attached to its most heat-generating components, along with intelligent CPU throttling to manage temperatures under load A built-in real-time clock keeps the system time accurate even when the device is offline. An innovative 1‑inch OLED display on the case provides real-time system information at a glance—everything from CPU speed and disk free space to IP address, uptime, and even quirky metrics such as "days to Christmas" The aluminium case also supports dual 4K-capable HDMI outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, optional Wi‑Fi, multiple USB ports, audio over HDMI, and front/back panel access for convenience For users seeking a blend of rugged design, high-speed computing, and system transparency, ROBUST offers a compelling single-box solution—combining efficiency, expandability, and modern connectivity in a handily sized form factor.PLEASE NOTE: This system does not use FAST technology. The SATA drive is connected to RISC OS via USB and formatted to FAT32 as standard.Technical SpecificationProcessor Speed: overclocked up to 2.28GHzMemory: 4GBSSD Storage: 240GB SATA storage for RISC OS as standardNetworking: Gigabit Ethernet port and integrated WIFI optionUSB ports: 2 rear, 1 frontAudio/Video:3.5mm Audio, audio over HDMITwin full sized HDMI portsUp to 3840x2160 HDMI graphicseMMC: 32GB for OS, boot and storageOS and Software:RISC OS 5.30 plus over 2GB of RISC OS Software as standardCase:Small aluminium NUC style case - 120mm x 90mm x 45mmActivity and Power Indicator LEDsPower switch1in OLED system info screenOptions:Commercial software pack (worth over £500) 8GB RAM (upgrade from 4GB)1TB SATA drive (upgrade from 256GB)Active coolingLinux install on the SSD
