So hang on, is the standard spec single-channel only? Or is this a totally spurious comparison??
Potential marketing spin aside, the design looks decent (not the gold one) and it's good to see USB-C continuing to gain momentum.

Love the editing at 1:57!
Looks alright, but it'll be the price that's the deciding factor when it comes to systems like this
Wait for the review but I have a simple view - if it has a fan then it is not suitable as an HTPC
That I disagree with.Originally Posted by cjs150
If its a quiet as the active fan in the NUCS used on some of the intel models then they are extremely quiet and even under a severe load on my unit at work, the unit is inaudible
Just because it has a fan, doesn't mean it is noisy or even audible.
The most recent HTPC I built is substantially quieter then a Sky STB.

True, but the Akasa fanless cases do make amazing HTPC's, built one myself last year and still amazed at how well it performs.That I disagree with.

The picture looks like 3x iMacs are the monitors... couldn't they find something a little less like the competition but still "sexy" for the shots!
The gold is awful but otherwise a nice looking box, it's a shame everyone can't manage dual channel RAM, even if 2 slots are there too many manufacturers just stick one DIMM in. I have a Dell laptop in front of me with just that issue. Probably because it's cheaper bulk buy 8GB modules, have 1 in the base model, 2 in the upgraded model... cost shavings.

I think we can agree to disagree, I have a NUC, the fan was clearly audible in the quiet parts of movies, like mjgr33n I put the NUC in a fanless case (tranquil) and it is pretty close to perfect as an HTPC - (at least until w10 drops windows media centre)
Whatever it can or cant do it doesn't escape the fact its extremely ugly!
When will PC based manufacturers learn when it comes to aesthetics.
It looks like somebodies little keep safe tin from the 1950s
The video comparison is bunk. See how the video he points to running from the BeeBox has a reflection in the table? See how the other video doesn't?
Vampire videos are also known as added in post.
Its great that we've hit the era of these little boxes can have more than 2gb of ram.
Still although this is a feature rich little box, its probably worth waiting until china get their hands on Atom x7, before things really kick off.
