XPC nano NE10N: Compact, fanless mini PC with lots of ports and expansion options

The XPC nano NE10N is a mini PC from Shuttle that comes with the Intel N100 processor. Not a particularly powerful processor, but it is nevertheless a versatile low-power CPU suitable for various applications such as HTPC, NAS, emulation and office work. The mini PC measures 135 x 115 x 41.3 millimeters and comes with a wall/VESA mounting bracket, so it can be placed just about anywhere. As is typical for Shuttle systems, the PC is also offered as a barebone model, namely without RAM or storage. A single SO-DIMM slot is on board, supporting up to 16 GB of DDR4 RAM at 3,200 MHz. An M.2 2280 SSD can be installed and connected via PCIe Gen 3.0 or SATA.

A dedicated M.2-2230 slot allows for easy installation of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules, although there are already internal Wi-Fi antennas pre-installed. Dual display support is possible via one HDMI 2.0 port and one DisplayPort 1.4, allowing for the playback of two 4K monitors at 60 Hz. Further connectivity options include two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, one Gigabit Ethernet port and separate connections for microphone and speakers. Power is supplied via a circular connector.

The barebone model of the XPC nano NE10N starts at around €200 and is sold in various countries in Europe. A list can be found here.
