Gigabyte launches new Brix Mini PCs equipped with Kaby Lake-R generation SoCs, Gigabyte will release four models, two based on a Core i5-8250U and two the Core i7-8550U, procs that are also used in laptops.

The two slim models are the GB-BRi5-8250 and GB-BRi7-8550, at only 3.5cm in height. Two H-variants are a little higher at roughly 4.7 cm high, the larger versions are a bit thicker as they have the option and room for a 2.5" HDD or SSD, the small ones only get a M.2 2280 SSD as storage option.

All models have room for two DDR4 SO-DIMM memory slots and get an Intel 802.11ac WIFI adapter next to the Gigabit Ethernet jack. The Brix'es all have an HDMI, mini display port and two USB 3.1 one of which is type-c and two USB 3.0.
