Tired of noisy computer fans? Maxtang offers a solution with their new SXRL-20 mini PC. This small PC is designed for completely silent operation. It features a fanless, passive cooling system. Let's explore what this compact device offers.
Maxtang SXRL-20 Mini PC: Cool and Quiet Design
The SXRL-20 immediately stands out with its svelte and thin aluminum case. This aluminum casing is not just for looks. It's key to the fanless design, quietly dissipating heat. Despite its tiny size, Maxtang has included ample ports. Connectivity is unexpectedly good:
- Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports for speedy peripherals
- One USB 2.0 port for legacy devices
- One convenient USB-C port
- Dual Ethernet ports for networking or dedicated use
- An RS232 COM port for industrial or legacy devices
- Four HDMI ports for multi-display setups
Power Under the Hood (Without the Noise)
Inside this silent box is an Intel Core i5-1235U processor. This mid-range Alder Lake processor can reach turbo modes up to 4.4 GHz with passive cooling. It handles general tasks and even some heavy loads without noise. Graphics are managed by the integrated Intel Xe G7 80 EU. It supports AV1 codec video playback and handles small graphical workloads. It's suitable for a media PC or quiet workstation, not a gaming rig.
Expandable and Adaptable Mini PC
The SXRL-20 offers significant expandability:
- Up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM for smooth multitasking
- Two M.2 2280 slots for NVMe SSDs, up to 8 TB of storage
