The first little desktops with Intel Tiger Lake processors are coming soon, with new Intel NUC and similarly-sized mini PCs in the works. But one of the first to be officially announced isn’t aimed at consumers at all (although I suspect it could be used as a general purpose PC). The ASRock iBOX 1100 is a […]

Zotac’s fanless Comet Lake mini PC is now available
The Zotac ZBOX CI622 nano is a small desktop computer with a 10th-gen Intel Comet Lake processor and a fanless design, which means that there are no moving parts to make noise or break down.

This case turns the NUC 10 into a fanless Comet Lake PC
Intel’s NUC line of desktop computers are small, but they’re not exactly silent — most feature fans for active cooling. The Intel “Frost Canyon” NUC 10 I reviewed recently runs quieter than most laptops, but under heavy load you can certainly hear the fan spin up. But if you’re willing to trade size for silence, […]
This fanless mini desktop supports up to a 6-core Comet Lake processor

Zotac unveils its first Ryzen-powered mini PCs
At first glance Zotac’s new ZBOX MA621 nano and ZBOX CA621 nano computers look pretty familiar — because these small desktop computers have cases that are nearly identical to those the company has used for previous-gen mini PCs. The MA621 is a small computer that looks a lot like an Intel NUC, while the CA621 is a […]

Intel “Austin Beach” NUC is a fanless, rugged, modular mini PC
It’s been nearly 7 years since Intel started selling tiny desktop computers under its NUC brand. Since then we’ve seen NUC systems designed for gaming, business use, and home use. One thing Intel hasn’t offered in the past is a fanless model, although third-party case makers have helped fill in the gap. Now the first […]
