Shuttle's series of fanless, steel chassis Mini-PCs has been given a make-over, with the sixth generation of Intel Core processors (Skylake) to be used in five different model versions. This update also brings 4K support, ac-WLAN and M.2 slot. As with their predecessors, the five new models measure just 20 x 16.5 x 3.95 cm (DWH) and have 2x Intel Gigabit Ethernet, two serial interfaces, HDMI and DisplayPort, remote Power-ON and Always-ON jumper. New features include ac-WLAN with external antennae, support for DirectX 12 and 4K screens in all models. Up to 32 GB DDR3L memory can now be installed and the USB 3.0 ports have moved to the front panel. Each model comes supplied with a VESA mount that enables it to be attached to a suitable monitor or surface. At just 10 Watts, power consumption is just as miserly as before.

The new models in detail:

• XPC slim DS67 - Intel Celeron 3855U, up to 32 GB DDR3L memory, 802.11ac-WLAN, Bluetooth, 1x 2.5" drive, M.2 2242, card reader
• XPC slim DS67U3 - Identical to the DS67U, but with Intel Core i3-6100U processor.
• XPC slim DS67U5 - Identical to the DS67U, but with Intel Core i5-6200U processor.
• XPC slim DS67U7 - Identical to the DS67U, but with Intel Core i7-6500U processor.
• XPC slim DS68U - Identical to the DS67U, but with VGA interface instead of DisplayPorts, with larger M.2 slot for 80 mm long expansion cards and 802.11n WLAN with internal antennae.

Shuttle's recommended retail price is 226.00 EUR for the DS67U, 413.00 EUR for the DS67U3, 517.00 EUR for the DS67U5 and 681.00 EUR for the DS67U7 (all ex VAT). These models are available at retailers Europe-wide. The price and availability for the DS68U has not been announced yet.
