Foxconn Netbox nT-A3500 Barebone Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2011-08-11

The nT-A3500 is a perfect machine for instant messaging or other social networking applications, browsing or for playing older games at smaller resolutions; also, we can use the machine as a media center and it is also shipped with a VESA mount inside the package and necessary screws.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

The newest Netbox model from Foxconn, code name nT-A3500 features an AMD Fusion platform with the E-350 CPU and AMD Radeon HD 6310 integrated graphics; the product is packaged inside a smaller and better organized cardboard box compared to the nT330i model we looked upon in 2010; the frontal side of the box shows us a photo of the two color variants the barebone can come in:

The bundle consists of a small manual, a CD with drivers, some screws, magnetic feet, 4 circular adhesive feet, the WiFi Antenna, a dock which is the same shape as the one found with the previous model, one power lead, the power adapter and a DVI-I to VGA adapter:

 

 

 

The screws that are supplied as extra can be used with the supplied VESA mount:

 

 

 

The power adapter is smaller this time and is rated on the output 19V, 3.42A:

 

 

 

Inside the small manual, we are shown the main components of the product and how to set it up; however, the removal of the top cover and installation of the necessary extra components is not found here (on the older manual, these instructions were found inside a separate document):

 

 

 

Here are the steps we need to follow for removing the top cover:
