N100 Azulle Access available




The Azulle Access4 Alder Lake is a mini PC stick that's designed to be a portable computer solution. It's so small that you can easily take it with you wherever you go. It comes with a limited set of ports, including two USB ports, an ethernet port, and a microSD card reader. The N100-powered Access4 is available with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage or 8GB/128GB (Windows 11 or Linux) from 310$. Given the N100's power draw, we're curious to see if this miniature case can provide adequate cooling.

i7-10810U industrial PC




This HUNSN Fanless Mini PC is a small computer designed for industrial applications. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

  • Processor: 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10810U CPU. This offers good performance for everyday tasks and basic multitasking.

  • Operating System: Can be configured with either Windows 11 Pro or Ubuntu.

  • Fanless Design: It uses a passive cooling system, so it runs silently without any fans. This makes it ideal for dust-sensitive environments and for situations where quiet operation is important.

NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano case




Designed for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit which encompasses a reference carrier board and compute module. The Kit provides rich display and interface connectivity. Making it ideal to run modern AI workloads such as image classification, object detection, segmentation, and speech processing at unprecedented size and power.

Solid aluminium core coupled with hi-performance thermal compounds and pads conducts excess heat away from the key hot zones of the CPU, GPU and Voltage Power Management (VRM) regulators to the aluminium body. Keeping your system silently cool and running smoothly without thermal throttling.

The world's smallest NAS



Very much like the exciting ODROID-H4, this no-name dev board is powered by either the Intel N100, N200, or i3-N305. Cooling-wise, it makes no sense to have the heat sink at the bottom of the system, but support for four NVMe SSDs is impressive. Overall a very interesting little machine. The manufacturer's website design raises some concerns about the legitimacy of the company, though (they didn't even bother to remove Shopify's Instagram and Facebook links). Buyers beware.

512GB Quieter4C on sale




The 512GB version of the popular MeLE mini PC is now just $205.99. The Quieter 4C features 16GB of RAM, 256GB of soldered eMMC storage, a 256GB NVMe SSD, two HDMI 2.0 ports, one USB-C and three USB 3.2 ports. We're still not convinced by its "high thermal conductive engineering plastic" case but people seem to like it, and it seems to work.

The new ODROID is here




Hardkernel launches the affordable ODROID-H4 (Intel N97) ODROID-H4+ (N97, 4x SATA III) and turbocharged ODROID-H4 Ultra (Intel i3-N305, 4x SATA III). As always, the NUC-sized motherboard (120 x 120mm, 4.7 × 4.7") is packed with features including DDR5 memory and NVMe SSD support, HDMI and dual DisplayPort. We appreciate the large open-air heat sink that should handle the 12W CPUs just fine. At only $99, the ODROID-H4 is also the cheapest fanless Alder Lake-N PC on the market (keep in mind that Hardkernel ships from Korea though).

ARM-powered mini-ITX motherboard




"A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the ROCK 5 ITX coming soon and since then, samples of the Rockchip RK3588-based Radxa ROCK 5 ITX have been landing on doorsteps (or service points, screw you, UPS) of a lucky group of people and somehow I was one of those, so here’s a first look at Radxa’s latest Single Board Computer in a Mini ITX form-factor!

Over on the rear we have our DC 12V barrel jack input for power, USB-C, HDMI in, 2×2.5GbE (with PoE available), 2x USB-A 2.0, 4x USB-A 3.0, 2 HDMI outputs, 3.5mm microphone and headphone connections, and an SPDIF audio connection."
