A new range of mini PCs was announced, the ASRock Mars series. These new compact PCs are aimed at users with limited space needs who want a computer that takes up little space.

The new series of ASRock Mars mini-PCs is announced

The ASRock Mars Series comes in three models, each with a different processor: the Intel Core i5-8265U (4C8T, Turbo 3.9GHz), the Intel Core i3-8145U (2C4T, Turbo 3.9GHz) and the Intel Celeron 4205U (2C2T, 1.8GHz). All models come with a "built-in proprietary fan" that makes less than 24dB of noise when the PC is idle, making it a compact and quiet PC, where it fits.

The chassis measures about 191mm x 150mm x 26mm (Width x Depth x Height). There is an SD card reader, 1 USB 3.2 Gen1 Type C port, 2 USB 3.2 Gen1 Type A ports and 2 USB 2.0 ports on the front panel. On the back are 1x D-Sub (1920 × 1080) co-design with HDMI, 1x HDMI (4K @ 30Hz) co-design with DisplayPort, 2x USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports, 1x RJ45 Gigabit LAN, and 2x connectors audio, one for the microphone and one for playback devices.

Inside we have a 1x M.2 slot for Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, and 2 RAM slots for a maximum of 32GB of 2400MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM memory for the Intel Core models and 2133MHz for the Celeron model.

Both the Intel i5 and i3 models come with an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 and SATA 6Gb, while the Celeron model comes with an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen2 x4 and SATA 6Gb. There's also a 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb SSD / HDD bay in all three models.

The chassis is VESA mount compliant, so it can be installed on the back of a VESA mount compliant monitor.
