The planned portable bundle

The workstation. Ready to travel.

A small forensic workstation, a portable screen and the essentials for a working desk away from the office.

Existing Acorn workstation enclosure; the planned 2027 bundle may differ. — Existing Acorn enclosure shown. The proposed 2027 specification and accessories are not pictured.

This is the target for the planned bundle, not a final price or an offer to buy. Component models, VAT treatment, delivery charges and licence terms are still to be confirmed.

The planned 2027 bundle is not yet available to order. No deposit is required to request launch updates.

Proposed specification

Small footprint. Serious working room.

The working specification below is provisional. The final processor, ports, power requirements and component models will be published before orders open.

Memory: 24 GB RAM
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 or Intel Core i9
Storage: 1 TB PCIe SSD
Display: USB-C-powered portable screen
Input: Mini keyboard and mouse
Transport: Carry bag

The processor will be an AMD Ryzen 9 or Intel Core i9 configuration, not both. USB-C power and video compatibility for the screen will be checked against the final workstation. Battery operation is not promised.

Before you commit

See your workflow, not just the specification.

Choose the evidence interface and working method as well as the processor. Ask which source devices, protection method, output storage and representative workload have been checked on the proposed configuration.

Check evidence and format support ↗

Plan a hardware and workflow pilot ↗

Already own suitable hardware?

Ask about the intended software edition, licensing and hardware requirements. Software-only availability and final licence terms are still to be confirmed.

A workspace beyond the office

From the bench to the field.

Think about where the examination will happen, not just what is installed. The proposed portable kit brings the workstation, screen and input devices together.

At the laboratory bench

Plan the source connections, protection method and a separate destination before starting an acquisition.

At a client’s premises

Set up a temporary examination space around the authorised scope, available power and the systems you need to work with.

During an authorised examination

Keep source handling and destination storage clear when more than one device needs attention.

In a sheltered field workspace

A portable setup still needs suitable power, protection from the elements and a safe place to handle the source.

Generated illustrations of the proposed hardware and working settings, not photographs of deployments. Connections, source adapters, power and environmental suitability must be checked for the actual task.

About the screenshots and illustrations

Application screens are selected from the September 2026 Acorn screenshot pack. Captions distinguish native setup views, constructed training records and public-corpus results. They are not private client cases, and a displayed control does not establish that every operation was completed.

Relevant public sources include DeepBlueCLI training event logs and Plaso test data. Check the relevant source terms before redistributing an underlying dataset.

Workspace scenes and sector mascot variants are generated illustrations. They do not show actual police, judicial, military or university deployments or endorsements. The original Squirrel Forensics identity is retained.
