Product Overview

The MicroTouch M1-156IC-AA2 is a 15.6-inch Android-powered commercial touch computer designed for retail, hospitality, interactive business applications and integrated touchscreen deployments.

Unlike the M1-156DT touch-monitor models, the M1-156IC-AA2 is a complete Android touch computer with its own processor, memory, storage, operating system and network connectivity.

The current M1-156IC platform is built around the MediaTek Genio 700 / MT8390 processor with Mali-G57 MC3 graphics, 8GB system memory and 64GB eMMC storage.

Its 15.6-inch Full HD display combines 1920 × 1080 resolution, projected capacitive touch, up to 10 simultaneous touch points, optical bonding and etched anti-glare glass.

Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 / 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.2 with BLE, while wired networking is provided through Gigabit Ethernet.

The platform also provides HDMI, USB-C, USB Type-A, audio connectivity and four dedicated USB-C peripheral connections for compatible MicroTouch accessories.

An important ordering distinction is:

M1-156IC-AA2 = Without Stand

Android 13 GMS

The current MicroTouch specification identifies:

Android 13 GMS

for the M1-156IC platform.

MicroTouch also documents the platform as:

Upgradable to Android 15 GMS

Operating-system upgrade availability, deployment method and application compatibility should be verified before planning a production upgrade.

Google Mobile Services

The GMS configuration provides access to applicable Google Mobile Services within the supported Android environment.

Businesses deploying proprietary, managed or kiosk applications should verify:

surface treatment.

The etched surface helps reduce distracting reflections under commercial ambient lighting.

It does not make the display immune to glare or automatically suitable for outdoor direct-sunlight installations.

7H Surface Hardness

The touch surface uses:

7H hardness durable glass

to provide additional resistance to ordinary commercial wear.

This is a surface-hardness specification and does not mean the display is unbreakable.

Display Brightness
