Test: Shuttle Slim-PC Barebone XS35V4 m. cpu

Konklusion

Shuttle XS35V4 er uden tvivl en alsidig maskine. Vi har endda indbygget WLAN. Det har været dejligt at arbejde med en fuldstændig lydløs PC. Jeg kan sagtens se den fungere i både kommercielle og private sammenhænge. Den lægger dog mest op til at være tiltænkt erhvervslivet. Shuttle har kreeret en pæn, stille og alsidig kontormaskine med stue PC potentiale. Nu er der sikkert mange der skriger på mere ydelse, men jeg synes ikke den er så forfærdelig vigtig med XS35V4. Så længe den kan klare diverse Office programmer og Blu-Ray afspilning.


Innovation - 4
Shuttle har tidligere været på banen med XS35GT (for fire år siden) og de har valgt at bibeholde idéen, hvilket ikke giver anledning til at give point for innovation. Men det er alle de features, såsom intern USB stik, der trækker den op på et 4 tal.

Bundle - 3
Der er hvad der skal være. Hverken mere eller mindre.

Design/Layout - 4
Designet er pæn og stiligt og det signalerer kontormaskine. Jeg havde dog gerne set en løsning, hvor man ikke skulle tage hensyn til frirum, men som sagt er det prisen at betale for blæser løst design. Dog mangler jeg nogle flere USB 3.0 porte, fremfor USB 2.0. Men alt i alt, synes jeg at designet fortjener et 4 tal.

Software/BIOS - 2
Jeg kunne ikke opdatere BIOS og det at man skal betale for backup software synes jeg ikke er godt nok. Automatisk driver installation trækker dog karakteren op på 2. Jeg havde dog gerne set at Shuttle skrev i startguiden at man skal opdatere BIOS for at kunne installere Windows 7. Det havde været rart, da oplysningerne kun ligger inde på Shuttles hjemmeside.

Ydelse - 4
Ydelsen er som den skal være, set i lyset af at det er en kompakt, prisvenlig og blæserløs PC. Karakteren for ydelsen skal ses i lyset af størrelsen og det mest sandsynlige brugsscenarie. Derfor får den karakteren 4.

Pris - 4
Jeg synes man får meget for pengene. Kompakt design, lydløs PC og alsidig brugsformål. Med en pris på 1311 kr får den karakteren 4. Du finder Shuttle XS35V4 her

UK summary

Shuttle XS35V4 is undoubtedly a versatile machine. We even have built-in WLAN. It has been a pleasure to work with a completely silent PC. I can easily see how it works in both commercial and private contexts, but it is mostly targeted toward businesses. Shuttle has created a nice, quiet and versatile office machine with livingroom PC potential. There are probably some users that scream for more performance, but I do not think it is terribly important with XS35V4 as long as it can handle various Office tools and Blu-Ray playback.


Innovation/Technology - 4
Shuttle has previously released XS35GT (four years ago) and they have chosen to retain the same idea, which does not add up points for innovation. But it has some extra features, such as internal USB connector, and we land at 4 points.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
There is what you need. Neither more nor less.

Design/Layout - 4
The design is neat and stylish and it signals "office machine". I would have liked a solution where you do not have to take into account the space surrounding XS35V4, but that is the price to pay for a fanless design. It lacks more USB 3.0 ports instead of USB 2.0. But all in all, I think the design deserves 4 points.

Software/BIOS - 2
I could not update the BIOS and the fact that you have to pay for backup software is not good enough in my opinion. Automatic driver installation, pulls the grade up to 2. I would have loved it even more if Shuttle had been kind enough to inform its end users, that you have to download a BIOS update in order to install Windows 7.This information is located on Shuttle's website only.

Performance - 4
Performance is up to the task, given that it is a compact, affordable and fanless PC. The rating for performance should be seen in the light of the form factor and the most likely use case scenario.

Price - 4
I think you get great value for your money. Compact design, silent PC and versatile usage. With a pricetag of DKK 1311, I give it 4 points.
