BIOSTAR is offering the N3150NH motherboard with the on-board Intel N3150 1.6G Quad-core processor, using a Mini-ATX form factor with a size of 17x17cm, builders are able to make creative designs for many different uses that fit into small enclosures.

The N3150NH boards comes with the Intel Celeron N3150 1.6G Quad-core processor with turbo boost up to 2.08G already installed and it supports up to 8GB Memory for DDR3L-1600 OR 16GB Memory for DDR3L-1066. With the integrated GPU, watching HD content and playing games is no sweat. Expansion includes 1 PCI-E 2.0 slot. Indeed, the N3150NH board is ready for building all kinds of multimedia systems with its HDMI and analog VGA-out, and high definition audio with the Realtek ALC662 6 Channel HD Audio chip.



LAN networking is covered by the Realtek RTL8111H - 10/100/1000 controller and being a BIOSTAR board it has the Smart Speed LAN feature. SmartSpeedLAN is a free software application which monitors and manages your PC's network behavior. With user-friendly GUI, it allows you to select and prioritize different types of network traffic, including gaming, media streaming, communications or web surfing. You can also set any specific applications, choosing to prioritize or block accordingly. SmartSpeedLAN can feature automatic management options that use adaptive networking intelligence to ensure that you are getting the best online experience possible.

Hooking up content from hard drives or other USB devices is no problem with 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 3.0 header and 4 USB 2.0 ports.

The X.D.C (eXtreme Durable Capacitors) is quality solid capacitors to help make sure the board remains rock solid and stable. These are low ESR and high ripple conductive solid state capacitors that provide a stable power supply to the CPU. The life span can also be more than 6.25 times that of ordinary liquid caps.

Not only that, this board features "Moistureproof" PCB design. That means that you can setup an outside kiosk or signage and even in rural or coastal areas with high humidity the board will be robust.

The boards feature the latest BIOSTAR technologies such as BIOS Flasher and BIOS Online Update for easy updating and restoration of the BIOS, as well as BIO-Remote2 for remote control of the system via Android and Apple devices.

BIO-Remote2 Technology gives users a better Home Theater environment. Users who own either Android or Apple mobile devices are able to access and control the PC remotely. You're smart device can become an intelligent and functional remote control. Moreover, BIO-Remote2 also includes both the function of mouse pad and power point presentation modes.

The N3150NH also features the Charger Booster function. It is a high powered charging solution for Apple or Android devices such as iPad, iPhone and Android phones and tablets. Charger Booster Technology is able to boost the charging time to be more efficiency and faster once any mobile device is connected to the motherboard. With Charger Booster technology, you are able to charge your devices up to 42 % faster.

The N3150NH fully meets the requirements for systems running under the Windows 7 and Windows 8 and 8.1.

Lastly, the N3150NH features ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection where the board is protected from accidental electricity charges from user's touching areas of the board or when devices are connected or disconnected.

The N3150NH will have an MSRP of $69 USD.

Especially since these CPUs support PCIe 2.0 x4 - perfect for a RAID or video card.

Or a 4-port gigabit card if it's going to be a gateway. I would have expected an open-ended x4 slot. :(

The Pentium N3700 is the higher clocked Quad core in this series (http://ark.intel.com/products/87261/Intel-Pentium-Processor-N3700-2M-Cache-up-to-2_40-GHz) , and as usual Asrock is making the best versions of these boards (http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/N3150-ITX/), (http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/N3700-ITX/, but nobody is selling this one yet). The benefit of these CPUs compared to previous Bay Trail CPUs is the lower TDP (6 watts instead of 10), better connectivity (Display Port 1.1a, 3 x monitor support, more USB 3.0 & 2.0, SATA3 x 4), better on board graphics, and lower temps. Yes, the CPU and graphics clocks are lower, but performance should be the same or better, because of improvements to the architecture on a 14 nm process.
These make a great low-cost Dektop, HTPC, or home server systems for less than $300, and have no problems playing high-resolution video and audio (my Asrock Q1900-ITX works perfectly for this).

The N3700 has 16 EUs in the iGPU while the N3150 has 12, at least it isn't only a higher clock

Also J1900 eh :D?
