Foxconn, a leading manufacturer of electronics and computer components, announces the release of silent nettops from the NanoPC line. The two new models, the AT-5250 and AT-5600, are based on the Intel Atom and AMD Brazos platforms, respectively. New items consume only 15 watts in standby mode and about 24 watts under load, completely silent due to passive cooling.

Minicomputers used to attract a lot of attention due to their compactness (the size of new products is only 190 x 135 x 38 mm), low energy consumption and low price. Foxconn engineers redesigned the nettop design to use the new cooling system, and now they have acquired another advantage - the complete absence of noise, because there is not a single fan inside the case. The choice of memory and hard disk (supported by 2.5 "hard drives and 1.8" / 2.5 "SSD) is still left to the user, both models come with free slots.

To communicate with the outside world, each Foxconn Nano computer is equipped with two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, a gigabit network port, HDMI and VGA for displaying graphics, a 5-in-1 card reader, an Wi-Fi 802.11n adapter, interfaces for headphones, a microphone and line output. The package includes a VESA standard mount, with which the nettop can be mounted on the back of a monitor or TV.

Inside the Foxconn AT-5600 is an AMD Brazos E450 processor (1.65 GHz) and a Radeon HD 6320 graphics chip - this model is suitable for a home media center and will keep silence in the living room. The Foxconn AT-5250 uses an Intel Cedar View D2550 processor (1.86 GHz) with integrated Intel GMA 3650 graphics — a good choice for a server, network hard drive, or office computer.

Foxconn AT-5600 and AT-5250 will be available on the territory of the CIS in September, the estimated retail price of AT-5600 will be only $ 280, AT-5250 - $ 260.
