Gigabyte Brix looks like a winner

Just been told by gigabyte that they are launching them in June. Hmmm, might just get the nuc in that case.

Not that long to wait though now though really. Did they give any indication of pricing?

Very unlikely don't you think. The Core i3-3227U one of the 4 cpu's used in the Brix alone costs 225 $

And Gigabyte will not sell with a loss, no company would. Prices will probably be in the neighborhood of the Intel NUC or even a bit higher.

Specs etc added to Gigabyte site now.

The only thing the specs say are different from the three versions seems to be the CPU. Also all the mention for GPU is " Intel Graphics". Hopefully they release more info on the GPU...

Seems a little dumb to release this now with haswell just around the corner.

Haswell is more than one CPU SKU, and if history is anything to go by they won't all launch at the same time. How far away are the Haswell equivalents of the mobile parts used in these units? It could be many months.
