Giada Launches Compact i200 Mini-PC

[btarunr]

Giada, a brand of Shenzhen Jiehe Technology Development, Co., Ltd, today announces the ultra compact i200 Mini-PC. Designed for thin client, digital signage, enterprise and industrial applications, the i200, with dimensions of 5.12" x 5.06" x 1.02", offers PC-level performance and full featured connectivity at low power consumption levels.

With its ability to run 24/7, the i200 is ideal for many applications in the thin client, enterprise and industrial fields. The full metal casing provides excellent heat dissipation while in operation as well as robust protection from harsh working environments.



Protection from Unscheduled Power-Offs
Since in many applications mini PCs will be placed in difficult to reach locations, Giada developed a patented hardware/software feature, JAHC, that protects against unscheduled power-offs. JAHC has four key features:

• Automatic power on when connected to power
• Automatic restart after system crash
• Scheduled power on/offs
• Ability to power on/off the system with an IR control without the OS running

mSATA and DDR3 Support
The i200 supports an mSATA III SSD which not only greatly increases the read/write performance compared to traditional mechanical hard drives, but also allows the i200 to retain its small form factor. One 1600MHz DDR3 SO-DIMM module up to 8GB is also supported.

Full Connectivity
With myriad of connections, the Giada i200 excels in a wide variety of enterprise and industrial applications. On the front of this compact PC are two USB 3.0 ports, a built-in IR sensor as well as an IR extender port. The rear of the system has a DisplayPort, a HDMI port, a Gigabit ethernet port, and two USB 3.0 jacks. There are also two interfaces for Wi-Fi/3G antennas. The side of the i200 has a legacy COM port.

Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processor Performance
Featuring Intel's 4th Generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 U Series processors, the i200 provide the performance needed while using minimal power. The i5 option has a low TDP (Thermal Design Power) of only 15W. The integrated Intel HD4400 graphics supports up to 4k video playback.

compact and small

Nice carputer!

Nothing new here. This is just a low TDP ultrabook with its screen, drive bay and keyboard/touchpad stripped.

VESA mount? As in mounting it to the back of a monitor?

Yeah, the Intel NUCs and other thin clients (Wyse, etc) have had that for years.

I'm not sure why I was confused, of course thin clients. These seem powerful enough to use for office workstations and we're still deploying slim towers. The price on these are actually a bit cheaper, might have to pick one up to test with.

I have an i5 NUC at home and absolutely love it. I use it as an HTPC and TeamSpeak server.

nice looks, nice ports layout... (meh at serial <.<), but as Parn said.... nothing new here.... maybe the IR power on.... but just that.

Automatic power on when connected to power: bios feature... meh
Automatic restart after system crash: software/hardware watchdog.... meh
Scheduled power on/offs: rtc alarm in the bios for power on, scheduled task in the os for power off.. meh
mSata mPcie m.2 or whatever.... big meh
usb3.0.... meh meh meh (i mean... kind of old news... no type-c? no 3.1? meh)

And.... no vesa mount? MEH??? if i had the money to buy one i would have definitely snapped one behind my monitor

2 network ports, and would make a good router, e.g. Sophos UTM. Missed opportunity
