Shuttle Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of multi-form-factor
solutions such as the world-famous XPC Mini-PC-Barebones, will be
unveiling at this year’s CeBIT in Hanover a new, ultra-compact PC
platform which, at just 3.3 cm wide, is already HD-compatible.
The
Shuttle Barebone XS35 is a Mini-PC in the 1-litre class which, thanks
to its shape and the standardised VESA mounting interface, can be
easily fitted behind flat panel displays and therefore does not take up
any space. Intel’s Atom D510 Dual Core Processor (2x 1.66 GHz) and the
NM10 Express Chipset serve as the energy-saving hardware platform. A
high-performance NVIDIA GT218 (ION2) graphics card provides streaming
3D and video playback. The HDMI connector allows for excellent sound
and picture quality and connects the device to modern flat panel
displays and large televisions easily.
Other practical
connectors include 5x USB, VGA, LAN and Audio. Housed in the small case
are a multi-format card reader, a 2.5" hard disk and an optical
slimline drive. For added security, it can also be protected against
theft using a Kensington lock. The XS35 is passively cooled and
therefore practically noiseless – ideal for home use, too.
This innovation will also be on display at this year’s CeBIT. The Shuttle trade fair stand is located in Hall 17, Stand G68.
The
new Shuttle Barebone XS35 will be available in stores in the second
quarter of 2010. The recommended retail price has not yet been fixed.
