With the DS10 range, Shuttle presents four slim and fanless barebones PCs with a robust steel chassis and a variety of connection options.
The four available processors can handle different requirements from the energy-saving dual-core Intel Celeron through to the powerful i7 quad-core model.
Being the successor to the DS77 series, the DS10U, DS10U3, DS10U5 and DS10U7 models are now being added to the product range of 1.3-litre PCs.
DS10U: Celeron 4205U (2 MB cache, 1.80 GHz, 2 cores, 2 threads), Intel UHD Graphics 610, 4× USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s)
DS10U3: Core i3-8145U (4 MB cache, up to 3.90 GHz, 2 cores, 4 threads), Intel UHD Graphics 620, 4× USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s)
DS10U5: Core i5-8265U (6 MB cache, up to 3.90 GHz, 4 cores, 8 threads), Intel UHD Graphics 620, 4× USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s)
DS10U7: Core i7-8565U (8 MB cache, up to 4.60 GHz, 4 cores, 8 threads), Intel UHD Graphics 620, 4× USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s)
Key features are their two 4K-capable monitor connections, WLAN-ac with 5 GHz, Bluetooth and external antennas, as is the ability to operate continuously 24/7.
All DS10 models do away with any fans, hence they are exceptionally low-noise. At the same time, they are very low-maintenance, because the passive cooling means less dust gets inside.
The case measures 20 × 16.5 × 3.95 cm (LWH) and provides space for one 2.5-inch drive, that can be a hard disk or an SSD, as well as two SO-DIMM slots are present which can accommodate a total of up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory. Plus, there is one M.2-2280 slot available for fast NVMe drives. The second M.2 slot is already equipped with a WLAN/Bluetooth module.
An HDMI 2.0a and a DisplayPort 1.2 connection enable the fluent playback of 4K Ultra-HD content with 60 images per second; an analogue VGA output is also available. Compared to the DS77 range, the audio ports can now be found on the front. The COM ports have moved to the back and created space for two more USB ports. From the DS10U3, four ports with USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) are in fact available. The finishing touches are 2× Intel Gigabit Ethernet, a card reader, audio and a port for an external power button which can be used to start the device remotely (e.g. if a fixed installation is difficult to access).
“Compactness and robustness, coupled with a variety of connection options, once again make the DS10 range ideal for professional applications such as digital signage, POI/POS, control and of course office use,” explains Tom Seiffert, Head of Marketing and PR at Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH.
The recommended retail price from Shuttle for the DS10U is £252.00, the DS10U3 sells for £472.00, the DS10U5 has a price tag of £586.00 and the DS10U7 costs £751.00 (all prices inc. UK VAT). All models listed here are available from specialist UK retailers:
