The Giada A51 mini PC can be a gem in the living room
Giada announced the A51 mini computer this week.
The label "home entertainment and gaming center" might seem a bit strong from the manufacturer, but the fact is that the AMD E-51 and E-450 APUs used in the A300 really have an advanced IGP. Although these graphics processors do not have explosive performance, they support all manufacturer-independent APIs (DirectCompute 5.0, OpenGL 4.2, OpenCL 1.1, OpenGL ES 2.0.), and the UVD 3.0 engine supports H.264/AVC, MPEG-2/ 4, in addition to VC-1, DivX/Xvid and Flash H.264 videos, it also handles VP8 content. Blessed with dimensions of 192 x 155 x 26 mm, the Giada A51 includes 2 GB of DDR3 system memory (expandable to 4 GB) and a 320 GB hard disk drive. The range is enriched by Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a card reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO), but the small machine also has four USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port, as well as D-Sub and HDMI output. It is very nice that the consumption remains below 30 watts and the noise emission does not exceed 26 decibels.
The Giada A51 comes with Windows 7 Home Premium. In the package, of course, you will find the adapter and power cord you need for operation, as well as an HDMI cable and a wireless controller in the box - an optional VESA monitor mount is also available. The nettop is available in black and white. The Giada A51 is now available for purchase in a German store for € 307.
