Shuttle XPC Slim DS67U Barebone Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2016-09-01

The new DS67U XPC Slim barebone from Shuttle is built on a chassis we have previously seen with the DS57U series quite some time ago and besides the updated platform we do also have some welcome modifications like the M.2 slot instead of mSATA or the external Wi-Fi antennas for extended storage instead of the internal ones which are more prone to interferences. While the model we have reviewed does feature the Skylake-U Celeron 3855U processor, there are also other versions to be taken into account which do feature the Core i3-6100U, Core i5-6200U or the Core i7-6500U processors for even higher performance needs.

Product Specifications

Fanless and Silent

Passive cooling, no fan noise at all

Perfect to be used in noise-sensitive environments

Fanless, dust-free and thus virtually maintenance-free

 

Low Power Consumption

Power consumption in idle mode: 10~12 W (depends on peripherals)

Power consumption under full load: 17 W / 25.5 W (CPU / CPU+graphics)

(measured with 2x 4 GB DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMMs and 500 GB 2.5" hard disk under Windows 10 64-bit)

 

24/7 Nonstop Operation

This device is approved for 24/7 permanent operation.

Requirements:

- Free circulation of air amongst the PC must be guaranteed.

- Ventilation holes must stay clear.

- If a hard disk is installed, this must also be approved for permanent operation by its manufacturer

 

Chassis

Slim-PC (Nettop) with black chassis made of steel

Without cooling fan, passive cooling only

The bays for memory, 2.5" drive and M.2 card

can be easily accessed by removing two cover plates.

Dimensions: 200 x 165 x 39.5 mm (LWH) = 1.3 litres

Weight: 1.43 kg net and 2.13 kg gross

Two holes for Kensington Lock and numerous

threaded holes (M3) at both sides of the chassis

 

Operation Position

1) Vertical: Usually operated in vertical position with the supplied feet (DisplayPort output facing up).

2) VESA-mounted: The device can also be mounted behind an appropriate monitor using the supplied VESA mount kit.

Note: From a thermal point of view horizontal operation is permitted, however, there are no rubber feet on the device. The maximum operating temperature is 35°C then.

Operation System

This barebone system comes without operating system.

It is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Linux
