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 IV

We can secure it to the drive with the four supplied screws:

In order to keep the drive fixed on the chassis, we will use three additional black screws:

Next, we will mount the 4GB Samsung DDR3L module, which we have also used with the other systems as comparison:

The last component (which is optional to be installed in order to have a fully-functional system) is the optical drive; an extra metallic bracket is offered for it, along with three additional screws:

First two, smaller screws get the bracket fixed onto the drive:

The last one gets the assembly secure onto the chassis:

After re-assembling the chassis with the two lateral panels, we will have to attach the dock so optimal ventilation will be achieved:

On the bottom area of the dock, we will get to see a large sticker, four small rubber feet and the central portion where the mounting screw gets installed; previous revisions were carrying the exact same design:

The product fully assembled should look like this:
