Look and feel

The exterior could hardly be more plain, apart from a few letterings in silver/white, the case is completely black.

Front

Rear

On the front, from left to right, we have an HDD activity LED, combo AUX, 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen1 (data only) and 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 in the usual Type-A form factor.

If we turn the mini-PC around once, it goes very neatly again with the I/O: 2x HDMI 2.1 and 1x Displayport 1.4 take care of the image output, but are still complemented by the USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C in the small central recess.

And that’s not all, another USB 3.2 Gen2, 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 and a 2.5GbE Ethernet port round off the whole. Considerable number of connectivity options for such a compact system, right?

Besides all the inputs and outputs for air on both sides and on the back, we also find another opening on the bottom. There are also the two threads for the mounting bracket and the four rubber feet in the corners to admire.
