Sapphire EDGE-HD Mini PC Review – the smallest PC in the world

Our good friends at Cyberlink kindly supplied the software for our BluRay and conversion tests.

Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 is one of the finest solutions for the BluRay experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset. We tested with the new Extended Bluray Disc of Avatar, one of our favourite sci-fi films in recent years.

The AMD E350 systems score very well, with CPU utilisation around 5 percent less than the Intel Atom configurations.

Quite positive results with the CPU generally below the 30% threshold even during intensive sections.

  1. I cant get over the size of that, its staggeringly small.

  2. Beautiful bit of kit, reasonable pricing too. silent and low power, we all should be working toward that, not 40GB processing power.

    My electric bill this quarter was insane. 🙁 I need to go green.

  3. They should have made it with Fusion E350, its much better !maybe a revision 2 ?

  4. They really should have made the stand thinner to match the low profile shape. its by far the biggest part of the design. It looks to me (although I might be wrong) that they could have made it much thinner but kept it stable and balanced.

  5. Nice product, but ive already got an atom netbook and it drives me friggin crazy. they are such a crap CPU.

  6. This is certainly a showcase of engineering capability. its hard to get good cooling in such a case design. I love it, even though its an Atom. E350 would make much more sense for Sapphire, but obviously they were tied into the atom platform for this build.

  7. Ideal for a home server/media center. looks great.

  8. I like the fact they opted for a decent sized hard drive in it.

  9. Shocked to see Sapphire working with Intel and nvidia components in this. just checked that hell hasnt frozen over.

  10. is it silent enough to have it in the sleeping room or does only the shuttle xs fanless design work there?

  11. I think its quiet enough to have in a bedroom yes. I couldnt even hear it from 5 feet away. Id hate to say its completely silent because if you had this unit close to your head and under load during the evening then perhaps you would hear the fan.

  12. I’m sorry, does everyone seem to forget the Raspberry Pi these days?
