Equipped by Intel’s fourth generation Core i5-4200U ‘Haswell’ processor, which runs at 1.8 GHz (2.7 GHz with Turbo Boost) it offers strong performance, and silent operation. The CPU features an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 graphics system. The mini PC’s heatsink and sleek aluminum case work in tandem to maintain cooling efficiency, and as a result of its fan-less design, the machine is dust-proof and virtually noiseless. Cooling efficiency is further enhanced thanks to the F300’s fully corrugated surface.
The F300 comes standard with several I/O ports to cater to various customer needs. With two DisplayPort 1.2 ports, the mini PC supports two ultra-HD mosaic screens with a maximum resolution of 3200 x 2000 pixels. The two DP ports also support 5.1-channel surround sound audio, can deliver stereoscopic 3D (to supported display devices), and can output content at HD (720p) and Full HD (1080p) resolutions.
The DisplayPorts can also be used to connect multiple monitors in a daisy chain, which makes the F300 ideal for use in high-level digital signage systems. HDMI 1.4 is also supported with a converter to output 720p, 1080p, and 2160p with 5.1-channel digital surround audio, thus allowing the F300 to be connected to large Ultra HDTV screens.
The onboard IR module can be used to control the entertainment system via a remote control, which is sold separately. The machine also offers three connector cables to make 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity available. Standard network connectivity is provided via a gigabit Ethernet port, while WiFi support can be added to the system via its mini PCI-E ports. The system also has four USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports and there are two serial ports to connect legacy devices.
