The VM2 is powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor. This processor was designed specifically for industrial and embedded applications (as compared to the Atom N270 and N450 that were used in millions of netbooks), and is still used in a large number of industrial and vertical market tablets and other mobile computers.
The ability to run certain applications often determines the purchase decision of vehicle-mount computers. Since some of that software was written for Windows CE and some for standard Windows, LXE designed the Thor to be able to run both Windows CE 6.0 or Windows Embedded Standard 2009. Depending on the choice of operating system, Thor devices may be equipped with 1GB of RAM and 1GB of Flash (for Windows CE), or with 2GB of DDR2 RAM and 4 or 8GB of Flash (for Windows Embedded).
The Thor VM2, introduced by Honeywell in January 2013, is a compact vehicle-mount computer with a 9.7-inch XGA touch display and a number of multi-function keys. Depending on the intended application, the Intel Atom-powered Thor can be operated with either Windows Embedded Standard 2009 or with Windows CE 6.0. The VM2, which Honeywell calls a "tenth generation vehicle-mount computer," is a close cousin to the company's Thor VM1, but without an integrated keyboard and with a larger display.
