Summary:
- The PE2100N is a fanless, heavier unit (4.2 kg) rated up to 55 °C max operating temperature.
- The PE2101N is actively cooled with a fan, lighter (1.9 kg), and rated for a higher 70 °C max operating temperature.
Both share the same min operating temp of -25 °C . If you need fully silent, dust-resistant operation with no moving parts, the PE2100N's fanless design suits that; if you need operation in hotter environments (up to 70 °C) or a lighter unit, the PE2101N is the better fit. asus.com +1asus.com ↗“thermal.min_operating_temp_c=-25 °C”westwardsales.com ↗“thermal.min_operating_temp_c=-25 °C”
