However, he has two not entirely insignificant disadvantages:
The fan is relatively quiet, but vglw. high frequency. One always hears him even in idle mode. The slot for the hard drive is not disengaged and the housing shields hardly a pure 2.5 "-HDD increases the volume considerably. Compared to the usual tower PCs it is still quiet, but clearly audible, for example, as a Mac mini. underload it is quite noisy.
And when the GPU I would even call it a false concept. Installed is a Intel HD5000. Running with a default clock of 600 MHz, but can dynamically overclock to up to 950 MHz. The problem is that it will not hold the Minute 950 MHz under load and down clocked very fast. Presumably, the cooling is in the small housing simply too difficult. This makes the end that the GPU is best in games as fast as a Intel HD 4000, purely subjective, I would even say that it is from time to time below the level of this GPU. At least run games at the same settings and the same resolution with me sometimes worse than on a comparable device with HD4000.
The CPU is strangely unaffected, holding her higher clock by long. I have over the power settings ever tried to throttle the CPU and let the GPU running at full power (for games that would better combination), but that has not helped, the GPU also clocks down there the same. Maybe you can in the (very good) UEFI with lower and higher overclocking and fan speeds to keep 950 MHz for a long time, I've not tried it yet, I generally the machine is now a bit too loud.
Who wants to play older games on it, so can not expect the usual level of Intel HD5000. Something like Fallout 3 with medium detail and 1366x768 with about 20-35fps but is in it.
And important: it is not a power plug here, only the power supply with connecting cable to the computer. One needs a cloverleaf plug cable. Oh, the HDMI connector is mini-HDMI cable and there is no case. So best equal right cable also order.
