A Closer Look - Outside

This is indeed a palm-sized PC. It is tiny and looks nice as well! The top cover features a black paintjob with Shuttle's logo at its center. We find a USB 3.0 and a USB Type-C port at the front, though the latter suffered from a small glitch in our sample. A piece of tape was in the way, so we had to dismantle the PC and clear the way, which wasn't easy since we had to completely remove the mainboard to do so. On the front-right side are the SD card slot, power button, and two LED indicators for power and HDD activity.


Both sides feature small vents and on one is the RS232 port, which can still come in handy when it comes to controlling older equipment. The other side hosts a Kensington lock.


The large sticker on the bottom mentions the model number and a number of certifications. A smaller sticker right below it depicts the unit's serial number.


The most interesting side, you will find two USB 2.0 ports, the Gigabit Ethernet port, an HDMI port, a DisplayPort, power input, and a headphone and mic-in combination jack here.
