WinRar is one of the most popular archive manager programs available. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format. You can try WinRAR before buy, its trial version is available in downloads.
WinRar’s built in benchmark and hardware test can help us outline the performance offered by a system.
WinRAR's built-in benchmark registered a speed of around 3400 KB/s for our BRIX i7-4500 system. This is a decent result for a low-powered, small form factor system, but it certainly isn't comparable to many mid-range desktop configurations.
That is a spectacular looking little system, love it.
Its like their version of the Mac Mini, but more powerful and better priced. very impressive. Only thing is its a shame they didn’t ship with slightly more powerful graphics, but nothing much they can do about that in the space I suppose.
Ideal for a media centre or office machine. bit expensive though by the time you factor in the SSD etc.
Like the Sapphire EDGE, but a more practical shape for behind a TV or something.
Worth a look in the new year, when I finally get my new TV. Dont want to use my desktop with the tv to watch my MKVS!
@Ben: The Mac mini is a generation old at least, and it’s cheaper. The i5 version @ 2.5ghz dual core is comparable to the Brix ( albeit likely faster. ) If you decide to compare Apple’s i7 instead of the i5, you’d be comparing a quad core chip at a significantly higher clockspeed. For about $80 more, the Mac Mini would outperform the Brix, whether it’s multi core or single core.
The Mac Mini is right on par with the expected specs of a micro build, except it’s just a bit better for the price … maybe. The Mini is reaching its end of life, where the components in the Mini are not entirely satisfactory ( see: the slow HDD included. )
Not sure what makes you think otherwise.
is this a latest upgrade…mc.mini gigabyte…..sooo cool…can i have this 1….^_^
