Tiny form factor.

Dual core CPU and Intel graphics limit fun stuff such as games.

ASRock has started the type C USB 3.0 ball rolling with the Beebox N3000.

TOTAL PITA!

Windows 7 (Have to create special usb3 install media) Windows 8, Windows 10 and Linux Mint all run slower than snot on this thing. No performance at all. Regret I ever even saw this thing after the money and effort spent on it.

Small, 3 displays

Would not recognize more that 1- 2 gb sodimm at a time, would not recognize 1 -4 GB sodimm at all, either slot. (DDR3 1600, 2x2 and 1x4) screw holder to hold down msata snapped off first time I tried to install the msata card, piece of junk, card held...

Nice fanless design

Wireless seems to work but I have no idea how reliable it is. I just don't bother with wireless when I have a wired connection that works well. If you are wondering about Linux, Mint 17.3 works well. Be sure to do a fresh install of 17.3 though. If you...

Low power Fanless Plays 1080p videos flawlessly Great for a home theater box if paired with an mSata drive

Don't even consider installing a 2.5" SSD. The manufacturer advises against it, it will block airflow and make it run hotter, and if you are not careful you can pinch the cable (when closing the lid) and short out the motherboard. Runs hotter in...

One of the best fanless booksize PCs around!

I had to deduct two stars because ASRock would not respond to email support or fix their rebate website and ended up making me lose out on my rebate of $30. I would hate to have to deal with them for any tech support related issue.

When paired with a 8GB Gskill dual channel kit (F3-1600C11D-8GRSL) this makes for a little PC that can actually run some MOBAs on low settings (LOL, even HotS around 30fps). It even can semi play Guild Wars 2 on lowest settings at about 20fps in open...

-It can run pretty hot in a horizontal position. The manual recommends vertical installation, and so do I. -Even with an SSD, installation of Windows 10 is pretty slow, as are large updates like the 1511 update. -Credit card size remote control doesn't...

Updated review

The ram I initially ordered was not 1.35 volt and would run for a little while then blue screen. Once I figured that out and replaced the ram everything has worked fine.

Small, user configurable, quiet

Will only accept 1.35v memory modules

ASRock Beebox N3000/B

I ordered two of these for Christmas gifts. Both are to replace aging computers from almost a decade ago. Installed 8GB of ram and laptop HDD's I had lying around the house while waiting for mSATA SSD's to come in. Loaded a few desktop resource heavy...

Neat little computer in a small package. Perfect little web surfer (after addressed issues). Have a few roms that work flawlessly. Great computer to dip your toe into building computers or for the savy that want to try something different. Great driver...

Network Card is slow at best and plain awful even on the one that worked. Managed to get it to surf decently with the lightest browser I could find. This was from less than 10 feet through a non concrete wall where my smartphone was having no issues...

nice little, quiet box

Silent! Small! 16GB! Supports both an m-SATA and SATA device at the same time.

It's a bit tricky to get the cable to the SATA drive, nut given the size of the case, not unexpected.

2.5" Drive Installation Hints

The 2.5" cables must make an immediate 90 degree bend in order to comfortably fit and be successfully routed behind the two DDR3 sockets, but THEY WILL FIT.

The 2.5" drive option is indeed a tight fit, but the drive cables are intended to fit behind the RAM sockets, and not elsewhere. When these cables are routed behind the RAM sockets, there is enough room for the cables there, and the cables are just...

None, one the proper routing of the cables was figured out.

Little, Quiet, Familiar

well worth the effort of setting it up and playing around with it.

This little box is an awesome choice for a streaming computer that you can check your e-mail with. It works with Windows nicely (tried briefly) since its an Intel processor, and I loaded Linux Mint as well for those Open Source folks. I tried loading...

The USB driver is not the default one for windows, so you'll have to update your image before you install. In the process of loading OSs, I wanted to ensure I had the most up to date Bios. I did notice that there is a sticker on the chip saying it had...
