HiStone Era

High-Performance Wide-Screen POS Terminal

A wide-screen commercial POS platform built for demanding Windows and Linux applications, combining current Intel Core processing, NVMe storage and extensive peripheral connectivity.

The HiStone Era is designed for commercial environments that need more processing capacity than an embedded-class POS terminal can provide. Its HK968A configuration combines Intel Core processor options, DDR4 memory and M.2 NVMe storage to support Windows-native point-of-sale software, ERP integrations, hospitality platforms and other demanding business applications.

A 15.6-inch Full HD capacitive touchscreen provides a modern wide-screen workspace, while the dual-hinge stand allows the display angle to be adjusted for different operators and counter heights. Multiple USB, serial, powered-USB, Type-C, network and cash-drawer connections allow the Era to operate as the centre of a complete checkout station.
