Another mini PC, but another one that I find more interesting as it’s not just another Atom Z8300. It’s powered by and older Haswell Celeron G1840. It has a TDP of 54W so a good 10 times that of an Atoms TDP, can clock up to 2.8Ghz and it’s socket 1150. Originally I saw this as a plain barebones mini PC. It would seem now Onda has had to bundle it with a 120GB mSata SSD (With Windows OS) RAM and CPU in order to sell it?
In theory, it can take all 1150 CPUs (Celeron G, Pentium G, Core processors). So you could even put an i5 Haswell in there if you have a spare one around from your last upgrade. But I would worry however getting a higher watt CPU in that tiny case with only asingle little fan for cooling. So the Celeron might be the best bet.
Gearbest has this complete PC package for $213.99 on special. I’ve ordered one myself to have a look at. I did like the Voyo V3 Atom X7 mini PC with SSD, but it wasn’t passively cooled and reached 85 degrees.
