Temperature levels are of a real concern
No analogue mic/line input
Slow USB3.0 write performance
Loud fan as a result of the high temperatures under load
The Gigabyte Brix Pro's graphics certainly aren't as sharp and crisp as my Dell Alienware 18 but then again the price isn't as sharp either. Under duress, the Gigabyte Brix Pro runs hot and smelly, although I didn't encounter any problems in the short te...

PricingUnlike a laptop or pre-built desktop system, the Brix Pro comes in a barebones format as mentioned previously. This therefore means that in addition to the base system itself, you will need to select a storage medium – be it a SATA SSD or HDD or a...

As has been the case with most micro PCs, Gigabyte's Brix Pro is a sign of things to come. At some point in the not-too-distant future, high-performance PCs with bags of CPU speed and laudable game-playing ability will be delivered in small, table-top pa...

After purchasing and installing the RAM and M.2 storage module, we installed Windows 10 from a USB stick. This process only took around 10 minutes, which is about right even for much faster desktops. The Gigabyte website lists all the drivers, BIOS, and s...
The BRIX Pro is an audaciously powerful mini PC, the likes of which we've never seen. Gigabyte deserves credit simply for having the gumption to squeeze an i7-4770R into such a petite form. The CPU is an absolute beast, a high frequency quad core chip wit...
Extremely compact for a desktop computer, Highperformance CPU, Enough 3D performance for casual gaming, Supports one mSATA SSD plus a 2.5” storage device, Comes with a good WiFi and Bluetooth interface, Weak points, Expensive, Lowend audio interface, Need
The Gigabyte BRIX Pro proved to be an excellent option for the user who wants an extremely compact desktop PC, but still needs a high performance machine.

Gigabyte has taken a gamble by manufacturing such a high end compact mini PC solution, bringing desktop performance to such a small form factor is a great achievement. The processing power is more than plenty with the Intel Haswell i7-4770R CPU; it ma...
Great performance for such a tiny machine, Stylish, subdued design, Good servicability
Very noisy under load, Pushing the limits of its thermal solution
A Note On Power Consumption and Acoustics:In terms of performance, we can't help but be impressed with what Intel has been able to achieve with their latest fully integrated processor architecture, especially with respect to graphics and multimedia perfor...
There's no question Intel has created an exciting new category of PCs with the NUC. The tiny systems push the envelope of what's possible in a small-form-factor PC, and they do so with potent processors that can deliver very compelling performance. In th...

Fan noise, Full potential let down by cooling solution, BIOS GUI
The $650 Gigabyte Brix Pro GB-BXi7-4770R is innovative, powerful, and well featured -- but it is not cool. Despite the obvious engineering achievement displayed by this little HTPC, it is let down by the cooling solution. The HSF is clearly capable of ke...
