Now it was a long time since we saw a miniPC in Stick format and today we found the small MINISFORUM S40. This is a very interesting format for some uses and more if like this it has a dual Video output, HDMI + DisplayPort, with the ability to get 4K@60fps resolutions, something rare and that makes it very attractive for example for digital signage.
The MINISFORUM S40 includes a Celeron N4000 processor with 4/64GB a basic configuration but that can move Windows 10 Pro with office programs and multimedia players if we do not need a lot of power. We also note that the small box is well gridded and that inside to facilitate cooling we see a small fan and a heatsink.
Processor, RAM and storage
The miniPC MINISFORUM S40 includes an Intel Celeron N4000 processor a dual core with a consumption of only 6W TPD and x86 cores capable of reaching 2.60Ghz in turbo mode and that includes an Intel HD Graphics 600 GPU with 12EU and a maximum speed of 650 Mhz that is capable of playing 4K@60fps video. On board we have 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 64GB of eMMc storage memory that we can expand thanks to the included microSD card reader.
