Mini PC barebone Shuttle XPC slim DS50U3 Intel i3-1315U HDMI DP VGA

The Shuttle XPC slim DS50U3 is a fanless mini PC barebone in a 1.3-litre metal chassis, equipped with an integrated Intel i3-1315U (12th/13th gen architecture) ULV processor. The compact system supports UHD/4K output and offers three video connectors (HDMI, DisplayPort and D-Sub/VGA). Inside there is space for two DDR5 SO-DIMM modules, one 2.5" drive and two M.2-2280 SSDs, while an optional WWN04 accessory enables fitting an LTE/5G modem in the second M.2 slot. The passive cooling design allows silent, low-maintenance operation and suitability for continuous 24/7 use.

Advantages

The DS50U3 combines a small footprint and robust metal housing with support for up to 64 GB DDR5 memory and modern storage options (2.5" and M.2). Multiple video outputs enable simultaneous connection of UHD/4K displays plus legacy VGA screens. Dual LAN interfaces (1x 2.5Gbit and 1x 1Gbit) and an optional cellular module expand networking flexibility. Fanless passive cooling reduces noise and maintenance and ensures energy-efficient, continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Digital signage and video walls
• Point-of-sale (POS) and kiosk systems
• Thin client and office PCs
• Multimedia playback and content distribution
• Industrial or embedded applications requiring reliable 24/7 operation
