Intel's new fanless PC



The good news: It's excellent. i5-5350U (2 cores / 4 threads up to 2.9 GHz), 8GB DDR3L 1600MHz (16GB maximum), 64GB SSD, 2 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, 6 USB ports, HMDI port, a stylish aluminum heat sink case, this is basically what the NUC should have been from the start.

The bad news: It's just an evaluation kit for now. Based on Intel's Intelligent System Extended (ISX) form factor, it's designed as an Internet of Things solution. The new system is not listed on Intel's evaluation kits page yet, but a PDF is already accessible.
