The is a time capsule. It represents an era when Intel was complacent (7th gen dual-cores) but OEMs were experimenting with premium features on mid-tier devices.
This is perhaps the most common application for the V720. Automotive engineers are obsessed with making cabins quieter. When a car prototype has an annoying rattle or a wind whistle at 60 mph, finding the source is a nightmare.
Predictive maintenance is a huge industry. Machines often make specific noises before they fail. A bearing starts to grind, or a steam valve begins to hiss. The V720 can be mounted in a factory setting to scan complex machinery. It can identify the exact location of a high-frequency leak or a failing motor amidst a noisy floor, preventing costly breakdowns.
This isn't a gadget for recording podcasts. The PC V720 is a heavy-duty diagnostic tool used across various high-stakes industries.
