Just recently, Shuttle started refreshing their XPC Nano series by including the NC02U generation, which is available in multiple configurations. While the NC01U was based on the Broadwell-U processors and was available with Celeron, Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 models, the NC02U is now housing the latest generation Skylake-U CPUs (Celeron 3855U, Core i3-6100U, Core i5-6200U, Core i7-6500U). This new generation brings micro-architectural improvements but also the clocks are bumped higher versus the Broadwell-U gen. Besides the increased CPU clocks, we do also get an optimized integrated graphics with 12 execution units (HD Graphics 510) which does also feature H.265/HEVC decoding completely in hardware.

The NC02U XPC Nano does ship inside a similar packaging design as we have seen with the previous generation, which does sport the usual Shuttle box art:

For easy manipulation, a plastic handle is also included:

Users which are interested in checking out the hardware specifications right away can look at the sticker on the lateral side; here Shuttle has also placed the product serial numbers:

The first bundle components we are going to enumerate are the power supply, the power lead, one 2.5’’ HDD/SSD drive tray, two aluminum stands, mounting screws but also a set of rubber feet:

The power adapter was manufactured by Asian Power Devices Inc. and delivers on the output 19V at 3.42A:

A two-part VESA mount set is also supplied with the product:
