While the original ZimaBoard shipped with Intel Apollo Lake processors that were already more than four years old at the time that the board launched, the ZimaBoard 2 is powered by a current-gen Intel Twin Lake processor that should bring a significant boost in CPU and graphics performance. The company says users can expect a 200 percent performance boost, even though the new model runs cooler and quieter and uses less power while idle.
I thought a lot about buying the first version of this. Glad I waited. Very cool. Homelabbers: have some gear lust to start your weekend. Happy Friday!

Why wouldn’t you just buy one of the plethora of existing Mini PCs?

External PCIe seems to be their selling point. Also, why not welcome competitive form factors and options? That is, of course, if it’s competitive. No pricing in this article, but if I had to imagine they’re probably going to retail near $300, but I don’t think they’ll be competitive with sub $150 n150 machines at that price point.

My question is whether it’s competitive. Because it looks like a gimmick to me.
Plus IceWhale sold my information so I don’t trust them.
