More processing power and space with low power consumption.
EAGLE4 S
is perfect if you want more power and storage space in your EAGLE but
you still want a compact system with low power consumption. The EAGLE4 S
can still deliver desktop class performance, with an average power
consumption of only 1A, so it can still be powered with a compact field
battery - but it delivers more than 1.6x the performance of the standard
EAGLE4 making the EAGLE4 S the model with the best price/performances
ratio among the EAGLE line.
Intel’s
8th generation i3 processor with only 15W of TDP and 4MB of cache
provides desktop class performance with low power consumption. EAGLE4 S
offers three USB 3.1 type A ports with transfer data up to 10 Gbps; one
USB type C / Thunderbolt 3 port with data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps,
as well as five USB 2.0 ports, two HDMI 2.0a ports, a Gigabit LAN port
and Wireless 802.11ac.
Thunderbolt 3 port: for high speed connectivity.
EAGLE4 S
also adds an incredibly fast and powerful Thunderbolt 3 port with USB-C
type connector allowing connections up to 40 Gbps with more
connectivity options. Compared to a standard USB port, USB-C/Thunderbolt
it adds many additional features:
- Speed: while USB 3.0 is up to 5 Gbps, theThunderbolt 3 port offers connectivity speeds up to 40 Gbps
- Power: the Thunderbolt 3 port is capable of providing up to 15 W
- Connectivity:
you can connect many devices like external drives, displays, multi port
docking stations, audio devices, etc. It allows you to connect as many
as 6 devices, daisy chained, through a single compact port. Since it has
a USB-C type connector, the cable is reversible so there is no wrong
way to connect it. If you have a standard USB-C device, you can connect
it to the Thunderbolt 3 port (in this case the maximum speed will be 10
Gbps).
Performance comparison with a miniPC.
EAGLE4
not only offers exclusive features for advanced astrophotography, but
also all the power of a real computer (superior to a Mini PC) to allow
you to use any astrophotography software. In order to test its
performance, we used the PCMark benchmark and compared EAGLE4/ EAGLE4 S /
EAGLE4 PRO with one of the many inexpensive Mini PCs on the market
(where we installed the same EAGLE4 operating system for a precise
results comparison). As you can see in the picture below, EAGLE4 offers
32% more performance than a common Mini PC with Intel Celeron N3160
processor, 4GB of RAM and SSD disk; EAGLE4 S still raises the gap by
bringing this difference to 109%; EAGLE4 PRO boosts everything to a
wonderful +153%!

Quick guide
EAGLE: Apollo 11 lunar module
The
Apollo Lunar Module (LM), originally designated the Lunar Excursion
Module (LEM), was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft built for
the US Apollo program to carry a crew of two from lunar orbit to the
surface and back. EAGLE is the name of Apollo 11 lunar module that, on
July 20, 1969, landed the first humans on the Moon, Americans Neil
Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
