I believe the t176 was launched back in 2018. I couldn't locate any formal announcement but the Atom CPU used in it was launched Q1 2016 and reached EOL in June 2022. I also found an online review of it from Jan 2019 .
It is available as the t176L (Linux) and t176W (Windows) versions.

The embedded operating system is either Linux (t176L) or Windows (t176W). My example is the Linux version.
The t176 runs off 12V and has a 4.8mm/1.7mm coax plug. The supplied PSU is a 12V 3A unit.
The CPU fitted to the t176 is an Intel Braswell Quad Core 1.04GHz (Turbo 2.0G). (a.k.a. Intel Atom X5-E8000).

On opening it up it was a pleasant surprise to find that, unlike the t180, the t176 could be expanded.

Maybe I was hasty with my use of readily. I haven't seen one of these modules before and Google failed to find anything that matched the numbers printed on it.
RAM: The RAM is a single socketed SO-DIMM (DDR3L 1600). As per the datasheet the one fitted was 2GB. I substituted a DDR3L 8GB SO-DIMM I had to hand and this worked.
