To make a miniature personal computer, you can't just use standard desktop hardware, something that Giada clearly understands if its newest product is any indication.

Said new product is a barebone PC, a miniature system that has only the bare minimum of hardware, hence the term “barebone.”

Called F300, it measures 260 x 175 x 35 mm / 10.23 x 6.88 x 1.37 inches and has a small motherboard inside, which holds a dual-core Intel Haswell Core i5-4200U CPU, with 1.8 GHz clock and HD 4400 graphics.

There's room for a single 2.5-inch SATA storage drive (SSD, HDD, HHD/SSHD), one SO-DIMM memory module (laptop-type RAM), six USB ports (four USB 3.0, two USB 2.0), Gigabit Ethernet and three video outputs (VGA, DVI and DisplayPort).

As is customary for these things, the case of the Giada F300 doubles as a heatsink. ETA and pricing info has yet to be released.
