The long-term availability of embedded panel PCs is an important factor for customers who rely on long-term and stable solutions. Unlike consumer PCs, which are often only available for a short time, embedded systems are generally developed for use in industrial applications and therefore have a longer service life. Many manufacturers of embedded panel PCs therefore offer long-term availability guarantees for their products, which can vary depending on the manufacturer and model. These warranties can be as long as 10 years or longer, depending on how long the components are available and how long the product remains in production. In addition, some manufacturers also offer replacement parts and repair services for their products to further extend their life.
