Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DL20N6 Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2021-12-20

The DL20N series from Shuttle is an impressive jump in performance versus the older DL10J, while the choice to have installed a Pentium N6005 4-core SKU while retaining the 10W TDP is great! The whole system is passively cooled, so it is virtually noiseless if we do install only SSDs as storage devices.

To have the system in an operational state, we have installed two 4GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM modules from Crucial, but also an Intel 760P Series 128GB SSD:

The RAM installation could be done in just a few seconds:

After installing the operating system, our Intel test SSD got broken and we needed to replace it with an Silicon Power A60 512GB NVMe SSD:
