The mini computer will replace the bulky Desktop

 

Intel launches the nuc solution, which has a complete set of solutions in a small 4x4 box.

The reason for the decline of desktops is that people do not need much flexibility, and a few slots are rarely used. Why must we configure heavy interfaces and power circuits?

However, I don't think intel's nuc solution is perfect because it is based on a fan-less design that compromises space too much to meet users' expectations for performance. I think the ideal mini-computer solution should be as follows:

1. Streamline the power supply and replace the huge power supply of the desktop with a simple power adapter module. Because the power supply is reduced, the power of the entire machine must not be too high. However, as a mini pc, rather than a mobile device, you do not need to use a complex power supply in the internal model.

2. Highly integrated cpu, which does not support plug-ins such as independent video cards and sound cards. The only thing that can be replaced is the cpu itself, memory, and hard disk (using a mini hard drive or solid state drive.

3. Support for fans.

4. Simplified interfaces: Only HDMI, USB, and audio output interfaces are retained as compensation, and wireless interfaces such as Bluetooth and wifi are added. Wireless connection is preferred for all external devices.

On the whole, it is similar to the xbox one smil feeling, transforming the image of the desktop host into a household appliance device image similar to a dvd player. The Passive Heat Dissipation solution can support cpu with medium performance to meet users' performance requirements.

Specific solutions are as follows:

The motherboard is customized to use the standard cpu interface and standard fan cooling. The cost of the motherboard is about $400.

Cpu: AMD A8-5500, 65 w, 800 yuan

Memory: Kingston 4 GB DDR3 1600 $200

Hard drive: Samsung SSD 830 Series sata iii (MZ-7PC064D/CN) 500 $

Chassis: 100 ￥

Power Supply: 50￥

The power consumption of the entire machine cannot exceed 100 watts.

Total price: 2050 ￥
