Not every job needs a 24″ screen. A ticket desk, a stock room, a nurses’ station or a wall-mounted booking point often works better with something smaller and neater. That’s where Hibertek’s two compact touch screen PCs come in: the T22 and the T20.

Hibertek T22: the compact all-rounder
The T22’s 21.5″ Full HD touchscreen hits the sweet spot between screen space and desk space. It has enough room for spreadsheets and booking systems side by side, yet it’s compact enough for a busy counter.
It’s also the only model in the range with two 2.5″ SATA drive bays plus M.2. That’s useful if you want a fast SSD for Windows and a second drive for local data, recordings or backups.
Great for: ticket offices, stock rooms, hotel front desks, admin offices and hospitality back offices.
Hibertek T20: small, light and wall-friendly
The T20 is the smallest of the family, with a 19.5″ touchscreen at 1600 x 900. That’s where it shines: on a wall, on an arm, or squeezed into a tight space where a bigger screen would be in the way. With VESA mounting it works really well wall-mounted as a booking point, meeting room panel or information station.
Great for: meeting room booking, staff clock-in points, warehouse pick stations, visitor sign-in and information points.
What both models share
- Desktop-class Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processors up to 65W, not low-power tablet chips
- a standard Thin Mini-ITX board and SO-DIMM memory, so they’re upgradable and repairable
- 10-point capacitive touch that’s quick and responsive, with multi-touch gestures
- VESA and Kensington options for mounting and security
- business options including a smart card reader, chassis intrusion, internal battery and camera curtain with anti-spy LED
- optional 2MP cameras with single or dual mics, plus 2 x 3W speakers
- a 2-in-1 stand as standard, with height-adjustable and “I” stand options.
How do they compare with budget panel PCs?
Amazon is full of 15″ to 21.5″ “industrial” panel PCs running Celeron N-series chips. For a single low-demand screen they can do the job. The T22 and T20 give you desktop Core processors, standard upgradable parts and a UK distributor who’ll image, test and support them. Over the lifetime of a business PC, that’s usually the cheaper option.
If you need a truly sealed, wipe-down unit for a wet or greasy environment, look at a sealed HiStone EPOS terminal like the HK568 instead.
