Hmm... it also looks like it has at least 1 M.2 slot. Between the HS for the B320 chipset and the CPU socket there's a pair of screw holes that say HOLE_NGFF1 and HOLE_NGFF2, and the slot looks WAY bigger than the 2230 or 1216 formfactor you see Wi-Fi modules in...
There's clearly one m.2 slot in the corner (blocked by CPU VRMs, so short, for WiFi) and one between the CPU socket and chipset heatsink with far more clearance.
Yes! I've been waiting for this forever! Most OEMs have given up on thin itx. Can only find one not so good h310t from Asus. I was hoping an am4 thin itx would show up eventually. I'm holding out for a Zen+ or Zen 2 based apu though. IIRC 2200g and 2400g are still Zen (original) with a few minor tweaks? Do they at least feature the better boost clocks of zen+?
I mean, it was released almost a year ago now. It's essentially Zen revision 1.1 (so doesn't have the problems from the first Ryzen) plus Vega. There are tweaks to both Zen and Vega for it.
However as I recall there were troubles enabling certain portions of this on Linux so I don't know how effective it is in production. Certainly initial power usage was high, so be sure to update your motherboard firmware if you get one.
I feel that fan is missing a tunel, so airflow will be forced,one way instead of running all over the place, but that's case/fan issue, board itself if a nice thing to have. the case have vesa mount ? with size like this I feel that someone should make heatpipes and use case as heatspreader :)
Kind of bummed there is no usb 3.1 or thunderbolt on it. Then you could start out with an APU and if you needed more power in the future you could plug in an external gpu.

This plus a Ryzen 2400G would make for a nice tiny system.bolkhov - Tuesday, January 22, 2019 - link
Ian, what thin-ITX case was it in?Looks similar to Lian LI PC-Q05, but even smaller and with different layout of controls.

The other two next to it that already have the mount and screw inserted also say HOLE_NGFF3 and HOLE_NGFF4.Valantar - Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - link

No M.2?indigo6alpha - Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - link
There's a M.2 slot right next to RAM slotsstanleyipkiss - Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - link
My bad. Didn't see it in the article.Ej24 - Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - link

Wow, VGA? Displayport please - you can run two screens off one port and convert to VGA/HDMI if needed with a cable.eurico - Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - link
Second that, no Displayport makes it a no-go!nathanddrews - Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - link
VGA port means this could be perfect for an arcade machine...eva02langley - Wednesday, January 23, 2019 - link
VGA... no HDMI 2.0... or displayport? We are in 2019 for the love of God...Useless... I use my 2400G at 2160p and play at 720p.

It does have an HDMI between the power port and VGA. According to the reddit thread linked in the article it's v 2.0.artk2219 - Thursday, January 24, 2019 - link

Where can I find this to buy it?seito10 - Tuesday, July 14, 2020 - link
Hi. What's the max memory speed for this if ill have 16gbs? Also it's a sodimm so would that impact compatibility? And what power supply shall we use?
