The SAM4S Forza-135 is a fanless 15 inch terminal built around a 7th generation Intel Core i3-7100U. That is a genuine Core i3 rather than a Celeron, running at 2.40GHz with 3MB of SmartCache, so it has headroom for POS software that has grown heavier over the years, or for a site that runs reporting on the same machine it sells from.
The front panel carries an IP55 rating against dust and water, which is the strongest sealing claim of any terminal in this range and the reason to specify it for a bakery, a bar or an outdoor service window. The display is true flat with projected capacitive touch, so there is no recess at the edge of the glass. The chassis is fanless with no ventilation holes, the design is built for easy assembly and maintenance, and it takes an M.2 SSD. It ships in black on Windows 10 IoT LTSC 64 bit with a 36 Months Return to Base warranty.
Rated against dust and low pressure water jets, the toughest sealing in this range.
A 7th generation Core i3-7100U at 2.40GHz with 3MB SmartCache, not a Celeron.
A flush glass front with no recess at the edges, so nothing collects along the bezel.
Fanless operation with no ventilation holes, which is what makes the sealing claim meaningful.
An energy efficient, low heat design, which is why it can run sealed without a fan.
Built for easy assembly and maintenance, so a swap or an upgrade is not a workshop job.
Flour, steam and spray are what an IP55 front panel and a vent free chassis are for.
A sealed front and a true flat screen stand up to wet hands and wiped counters.
A Core i3 with 3MB of cache has the headroom that Celeron based tills run out of.

The IP55 rating covers the front panel. It is built for a counter that gets wiped down, splashed and dusted with flour, which is the reason to choose it over an unsealed terminal. It is not a unit to be hosed down.
This build carries 4GB of DDR4. A single till application is comfortable in that. A browser based back office, a loyalty client and a payment application running together are not, so tell us the workload and we will advise.
It runs Windows 10 IoT LTSC 64 bit, the branch that takes security updates but not feature updates. Most point of sale vendors certify against it, but check yours before a rollout.
The front panel. IP55 means it is protected against dust and against low pressure water jets from any direction, which is why this terminal suits a bakery bench, a bar or a service window where a counter gets wiped down rather than dusted.
If your POS software is modern, cloud connected and running a browser alongside it, yes. The i3-7100U has 3MB of SmartCache and a higher sustained clock than the Celeron parts in this range, which shows up when several things run at once rather than in raw till speed.
No. It is fanless and has no ventilation holes at all, which is what makes the sealed front panel worth having. A sealed front on a vented chassis would not achieve much.
4GB of DDR4 in this build.
SAM4S designs the Forza for easy assembly and maintenance, so routine service such as a storage swap does not require a full strip down.
