Closer look
With 11,4 x 10,7 x 5,6 cm dimensions and weighing only 480 grams, the Gigabyte Brix it's very compact and light. This system is so small you'll definitely be able to place it anywhere on your desk.
Although the Gigabyte Brix is very small it features a variety of connectors on its front and rear. Checking the front we find a microSD card reader and two USB 3.0 ports while the rear features two additional USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet and an AC power jack. The remaining two sides of the cubes are smooth and apart from that there are fan grills, as well as a VGA port and audio jacks. If you are not a fan of wires or simply do not have a network cable available, the Brix also offers a WiFi 802.11ac as well as Bluetooth 4.0.
The Gigabyte Brix is based on an Intel Celeron N3000 Braswell CPU, which received passive cooling. Next to the CPU there is one SO-DIMM slot, which supports up to 8GB of DDR3 memory. As far as storage is concerned we got a SKU without SSD/HDD, but inside there is enough space for a normal 2.5" unit.
