A feature of the NEO 300-0dB is its passive cooling design. The device utilizes large-area cooling fins to dissipate heat generated by internal components, eliminating the need for active cooling fans. This results in silent operation, making it suitable for environments where noise reduction is important, such as offices, libraries, or home theaters. The mini PC includes two gain antennas to enhance wireless signal strength and stability. Its form factor and antenna placement give it the appearance of a router, but it functions as a fully capable computer for various computing needs. The NEO 300-0dB offers a range of connectivity features:
- Wireless Connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) for high-speed wireless networking and Bluetooth 5.2 for peripheral connections.
- Wired Networking: Equipped with a single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port for faster wired network speeds compared to standard Gigabit Ethernet.
- USB Ports: Includes two USB-A 2.0 ports for connecting peripheral devices.
- HDMI Outputs: Features two HDMI ports for multi-monitor setups or connection to high-definition displays.
- USB-C Port: Provides additional connectivity options, potentially supporting data transfer and peripheral connections.
- Audio and Expansion: Comes with a 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones or speakers and a microSD card reader for expandable storage.
The inclusion of modern connectivity options like Wi-Fi 7 and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port positions it well for high-speed networking requirements. As of now, MINIX has not announced pricing or availability details for the NEO 300-0dB.
