14 DAY TRIAL // Gigabyte will soon update its portfolio with a new barebone AIO computer targeting DIY-ers which was designed to be used together with Intel’s second generation Core processors, also known as Sandy Bridge.
The central piece of the Gigabyte AIO is a 21.5-inch display with an unknown resolution, if we were to guess we would say 1920x1080, which also supports touch input via a 10-point touch panel.
Looking past the screen, one would get to see the Gigabyte has installed inside its AIO barebone an H61 motherboard that supports Intel’s LGA 1155 processors.
According to Gigabyte’s specifications, users can populate this socket with Core i3 and Core i5 CPUs featuring TDPs as high as 95W, or with Core i7 processors that fit inside a 65W thermal envelope.
Up to 8GB of system memory can also be fitted inside the Gigabyte AIO thanks to a pair of SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM slots, while for storage purposes, the GB-AEDTK barebone is equipped with a single 3.5-inch hard drive bay. On the side of the unit there’s also some room for a slim optical drive.
The rest of the expansion options include two mini PCI Express slots that users have the option of pairing with an optional Bluetooth/WiFi card and/or TV tuner.
As far as connectivity goes, the GB-AEDTK barebone packs a wide series of ports including a pair of USB 3.0 ports, USB 2.0, HDMI and SPDIF out a Gigabyte Ethernet jack, as well as a multi-format card reader.
A pair of 3W speakers are also included and according to TechPowerUp, the Gigabyte barebone also comes with a built-in backup battery that gives users sometime to save or backup their work in case of a power outage.
No information regarding pricing or availability of this AIO was made public at this time.
