Both chips were clocked lower than their Bay Trail-D predecessors which helped reduce power consumption but also made the Braswell parts slower, and sacrificing performance isn't something these low-end SoCs can really afford to do. While Intel's latest desktop SoCs didn't wow us, we were impressed with the quality of the boards and now Msecore is back to show us a more complete package by implementing Braswell in its new Intel mini PC.
Underneath the msecore there are four small rubber feet and plenty of ventilation. The four screws seen above can be removed get inside the device.
The Msecore Fanless Mini PC Intel Core I5-4200u Barebone will be available in three configurations: a barebones kit, a full system with OS, and a full system without OS. The three offerings are identical at heart, including their fanless design, which makes them exceedingly quiet when in use.
For testing we have the Fanless Mini PC Intel Core I5-4200u without OS and it comes with a 128GB mSATA SSD and 4GB of DDR3 memory. The Windows 10 Home version, which we assume will be available later in the month, only features a 32GB mSATA SSD and 2GB of memory. The barebones version goes without any memory, storage or software, and will be the best choice for those wanting to customize the Beebox.
Included in the box is a 36w/12v power adapter, remote control, VESA bracket as well as the typical user guides, manual and installation CD, which is ironic given that the Beebox doesn't have an optical drive -- in fact, the surface area of the PC is smaller than a CD. Obviously you could buy a USB optical drive but we'll just download the drivers.
