Utilizes Intel's Thin Mini-ITX standard for the sake of multimedia

Seeing that electronics are always moving towards a thinner form factor, Gigabyte figured it may as well do something to help things along on the all-in-one segment, using a certain Intel standard as a basis.

Gigabyte has definitely been making its presence felt on the IT market lately, even if the highlights consisted of leaks about certain AMD CPUs.

Now, the company has built something palpable, namely an all-in-one system based on Intel's CPU offering.

The company even issued an official press release to mark the occasion, where it mentions each and every single element that may be considered an asset.

Apparently, the outfit developed an all-in-one (AiO) system, really a barebone, based on the Intel mini-ITX standard.

It comes with a screen diagonal of 21.5 inches, leading to a full product size of 531.05 x 392.48 x 69.35 mm.

Inside of it, there lies an H61-powered motherboard, with support for LGA 1155 central processing unit (CPUs). Also, the company threw in up to 8 GB of DDR3-1333 RAM (random access memory).

A hard disk drive is not issued as standard options by default, so users can just choose whichever they like (the 3.5-inch drive bay is ready and waiting). The same goes for the optical disk drive (a slim bay is present).

Other specifications include an mSATA connector (allows for an extra SSD to be plugged in), Gigabit Ethernet, a 4-in-1 card reader, WiFi, HDMI, a pair of USB 3.0 ports, a webcam and a TV tuner, although this last one is optional. Finally, the case is very thin and is colored in black.

The pricing of the 21.5-inch GB-AEDT barebone, as it is called, and whose touch-capable display has a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (Full HD), was not given. Everything else can, however, be read in detail on the official website (here).
