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.

The CPU VRM is located near the heatsink:

Speaking of the heatsink, this one has not changed from the previous generation and features a single copper heatpipe:

The manufacturing date along some extra product codes are printed on a sticker:

Let’s turn the product on the other side and see what we have got:

First, we will get to see an internal USB stick for extra storage:

Via additional daughterboards, a slim optical drive can be installed on this side, but if we have also purchased one PHD2N accessory, the optical drive can be replaced with an extra HDD/SSD:

On the larger daughterboard we will be able to spot the Intel WGI211AT Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller:

Near the frontal area of the barebone we will get to see the mounting points of the optical drive:
