Engadget - While we had an inkling that Gigabyte would be fitting its latest miniature BRIX PCs with Haswell processors, we were pleasantly surprised to learn it had also built a tiny gaming computer with Iris Pro graphics on board. Indeed, the BRIX pocket gaming PC has similar internals to the recently announced Gigabyte BRIX II -- it has an HDMI port, Ethernet, four USB 3.0 slots, Bluetooth 4.0, a Mini display port, built-in WiFi and a headset jack -- but with the added benefit of Intel's latest integrated graphics and the choice of red, yellow or black aluminum housing.
A number of manufacturers have chosen to ride the Intel NUC bandwagon, and though the form factor hasn't proven as revolutionary as the chip giant would have hoped, Gigabyte has seen considerable success with its own line of Brix mini-PCs.
Intel isn't the only one to give its mini PCs a Skylake refresh at CES 2016. Gigabyte also announced that its Brix miniature desktops will now ship with Intel's sixth generation Skylake processors, giving them improved processing and graphics performance.
We covered items from the embedded, mobile and Mini-PC segment showcased at CES 2015. However, one lineup seemed absent from many headlines: GIGABYTE and their BRIX. So what's going on with the BRIX and what can we expect for 2015? Daniel Moran shares some info - and if you're a fan of the lineup you might have missed a rather nice release since Blizzcon.
That's 1 tiny Gaming PC.
