Shuttle XPC X50V2 all-in-one updated: Atom D510 & fanless

It's been a while since Shuttle outed their XPC X50 Barebones all-in-one, and so it's about time that they updated it.  Rather than rework the case and change the color, the new Shuttle X50V2 Barebone has Intel's latest Atom D510 processor, paired with the NM10 Express Chipset, but also gets completely passive cooling and halved power consumption.

That should make for a cheaper, quieter system, and thanks to some new ports the X50V2 is a more flexible one too.  Shuttle have added one parallel and two serial interfaces on the back, perhaps not much interest to mainstream consumers but helpful if you're looking to use the all-in-one for installations.

Otherwise there's still a 15.6-inch touchscreen – running at 1366 x 768 resolution – and room for a 2.5-inch HDD/SDD; they've increased the maximum supported RAM to 4GB, too.  Ports include audio in/out, 10/100 ethernet, VGA, four USB 2.0 and an internal mini PCIe slot for a WiFi card.  Shuttle are selling the XPC X50V2 Barebone now, in black or white, for €353 pre-tax ($484), and will offer pre-configured versions at some point in the near future.

Press Release:

Version 2.0: All-in-One-PC from Shuttle gets a huge makeover

Power consumption reduced by almost 50% / fanless design means low

maintenance

Shuttle Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of

multi-form-factor solutions such as the world-famous XPC Mini-PC

Barebones, is announcing the sales launch of a new All-in-One-PC. The

second version of the X50 promises impressive, improved features and

additional functions.

Almost one year after its successful introduction, the X50V2 Barebone

is now being launched and will also be offered in future as a complete

system, with a choice of Windows 7 or Linux.

Lower energy consumption is just one of the many advantages of the

successor to the original. For the X50V2 Barebone, Shuttle has chosen

the new Intel Atom platform with D510 Dual Core Processor (2x 1.66

GHz) and NM10 Express Chipset. The new version of the X50V2 is, for

the first time, completely passively cooled and therefore extremely

quiet. The energy consumption of the only 3.6 cm wide PC has also been

reduced by around 50 % at the same time. The size of the supported RAM

has been increased to 4 GB. New features include one parallel and two

serial interfaces on the back of the X50V2, which make it considerably

more attractive for special applications. The practical webcam,

integrated stereo loudspeakers, WLAN (N), card reader and stand, which

can be turned into a carrying handle, are also available with it. The

standardised VESA mounting interface allows it to be fitted to monitor

arms and wall mounts for freely suspended use of the device.

The new Shuttle X50V2 Barebone is available in black or white and is

on sale now. Shuttle's recommended retail price is 353 euros (without

VAT).
