ASRock Beebox N3000
Asrock's Beebox is among the best low-budget mini PCs we've seen but we can't sugar coat the performance of a dual-core Braswell SoC and there's simply no way the Beebox is 4K ready. The N3000's results were comparable to desktop Braswell boards thanks to the Beebox's dual-channel memory and at best it can handle high bitrate 1080p Blu-ray content.

I've been playing with PC components and building my own PCs for nearly as long as I can remember. Sifting back through my posts on several forums, I find one post in particular, back before NVidia's NForce3 chipset was made public. I had envisioned a...

ASRock Beebox is a small form factor PC with a volume of a mere 0.6 litres that is powered by an Intel Braswell processor. We're looking at an N3000 which runs on a dual core CPU with passive cooling and this makes the Beebox name seem a bit silly as a...

At the price point of the ASRock Beebox, you can't expect it to replace your main computer, but it will offer excellent value and solid performance as an HTPC, streaming box, wireless access point, digital signage, or even a low use desktop all without making any noise.

The ASRock BeeBox N3000 is an interesting take on the Intel NUC platform. Favouring silent operation over maximum speed, the compact mini PC employs a low-end Intel Celeron processor that is passively cooled but limited in terms of performance...

Let's analyze the ASRock Beebox, an ultra-compact PC kit, with an Intel Celeron N3000 CPU, two sockets for DDR3L memory modules, one 2.5-inch bay for a hard disk drive or SSD, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, and four USB 3.0 ports, with one of them using...

The Beebox N3000-NUC series starts at $140, and a ready-to-go build without the OS is just $220. This is very good value for the money. In comparison to other fanless mini-PCs, there is almost no pricing premium. However, we get all the performance to power ratio advantages that come along with 14nm silicon. ASRock has also managed to put in plenty of premium features without driving up the price.

This particular unit costs a lot more than the competitors that we'd tested earlier and this fact underlines the performance increment. The price-to-performance argument needs to be re-evaluated considering the street price to paint a better...

Como podéis ver en nuestra review el ASRock Beebox nos ha gustado, esta claro que el SoC Intel N3000 tiene ciertas limitaciones de potencia pero para usarlo como HTPC o miniPC de escritorio tenemos suficiente si no queremos hacer cosas extremas. El...
