...
"IBM Anyplace Kiosk solutions are designed for style and engineered for performance, enabling you to run self-service applications in virtually any environment. Created to help withstand the rigors of unattended use, the new models of the IBM Anyplace Kiosk family feature an all-new, space-saving form factor, IR touchscreen, multiple peripheral, and third-party enclosure options.
