MINISFORUM GK50 Windows10 Mini PC
Highlights
The Minisforum GK50 features an Intel Pentium N5030 chip with 4 cores running from 1.1 to 3.1 GHz with 4 MB of cache memory and above all a low TDP. Only 6 watts, which allows it to be integrated into a totally passive solution. The processor is covered by a metal heatsink which alone ensures the thermal exchanges necessary for its cooling.
With this Pentium at the 750 MHz graphics frequency in Intel UHD 605, the Minisforum GK50 offers a nice array of classic uses. It is accompanied by 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM, a soldered, non-expandable module, and 128 or 256GB of SATA 3.0 M.2 2280 base storage. A 2.5″ SATA 3.0 expansion bay accommodates additional storage.
In addition to being fanless, the mini machine offers two Gigabit Ethernet ports to drive two separate networks. This is a popular use for users of this type of fanless solution, as it allows for example to build a complete, low-cost and inaudible network monitoring and administration system. The rest of the connectivity come to 3 USB 3.0 Type-A ports on the front, a MicroSDXC card reader and 3.5 mm audio headphone and microphone jacks on the side. An HDMI 2.0 port allows to drive an UltraHD TV for a possible use as a home media player. A DisplayPort offers a second video output for a more traditional use as a MiniPC in single or dual screen.
