Shuttle XPC Slim XS35V5 Pro Barebone Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2016-02-02

Shuttle XPC Slim XS35V5 Pro was designed to be fanless, quiet, reliable for a 24/7 operation and it is not focused on high performance. The N3050 Intel Celeron processor also features Intels’ 8th Gen HD Graphics which supports Full HD video encoding/decoding so the manufacturer is recommending this machine for Office work, media playback (Full HD content) but we would also like to add that the product handles well browsing too if we do not have a big number of tabs open and we do also have at least 4GB of DDR3L SODIMM memory installed inside the supplied slot. Besides the location where we can install the HDD/SSD, we also have the option to mount an internal USB Flash Drive and install and optical drive; with an additional accessory, the optical drive can be also replaced with a secondary 2.5’’ HDD/SSD.

A Closer Look Part II

On the top area the same design remains, with the ventilation grill which is meant to expel the heat:

The bottom area is also supplied with a lot of ventilation areas, through which cold air is meant to be brought in:

If we look in the frontal area, its design is similar to external DVD Writers; this product has though here additional interfaces like an USB 2.0 port and a SD card reader:

The Power button/LED along with the HDD activity LED can be also found in the vicinity:

Plenty of interfaces can be spotted on the back of the XS35V5 Pro:

-DC-IN port

-D-SUB/VGA connector

-DisplayPort connector

-2x USB 2.0 ports

-HDMI connector

-2x USB 3.0 ports

-RJ45 (Gigabit LAN) connector

-Line-out and Microphone input jacks

-Kensington lock port

A perforation for an optical connector is also available near the DC-IN port and the screw to open up the chassis is covered by an adhesive rubber circle:

Here is also a look at the back side of the panel, which exposes the plastic frame:

The first area which gets exposed is the one which contains the cooling system, HDD mounting area, memory slot but let’s get a closer look:

The frontal USB port is located on a separate PCB and linked to the main board via one cable:

We can say a similar situation is available for the card reader; nearby we will get to see the capsulated CMOS battery:

Near the frontal area of the chassis we will get to spot one Wi-Fi antenna:

The SATA Data/Power connector is available for mounting either one 2.5’’ SSD or HDD:
