AirTop uses Natural Airflow Technology (NAF) for cooling, which is completely fanless and ideal for the studio. Other small PCs struggle with heat, while AirTop's silent cooling allows for max CPU speeds of 5GHz.
AirTop weighs less than 10kg and fits easily into a backpack. Great for remote sessions and collabs.
Premium materials with no moving parts. Functions even in very cold or hot environments.
Every AirTop is thoroughly tested and backed by a 5 year parts + labor warranty.
Small footprint that elegantly fits in just about any room or studio space.

How much does AirTop cost?
This depends on what options you select. A top-tier configuration for audio work, with the fastest processor, 2TB of M2 storage, and 128GB of RAM will cost less than $3,500 - and less than other custom-built DAWs with the same specs.
Is Impact Soundworks manufacturing AirTop?
No. We have partnered with CompuLab, an industry leader in fanless mini-computers since 2007. CompuLab assembles, tests, ships, and services every AirTop.
What kind of support do you offer?
AirTop is backed by a 5 year service and labor warranty. Customer support for the unit is provided directly by CompuLab's software & hardware engineers.
Can I upgrade AirTop myself?
The system's memory (RAM) and hard drives are very easily user-upgradeable with no special tools needed. The GPU can in some cases be added or replaced, depending on your configuration. The CPU and motherboard cannot be upgraded due to the proprietary cooling system.
What operating systems are available?
You can order AirTop with Windows 10 Pro, Linux, or no OS. We highly recommend the Windows option, as we provide an optimized installation specifically for audio and video creation.
