Elmshorn, Germany, 2015-06-02 - Up to now, absolute noiselessness
combined with compact dimensions meant sacrificing computing
performance. Whenever high performance was called for, an active
cooling system always had to be fitted. Shuttle now makes a difference
and demonstrates that fanless computers and speed are no longer
mutually exclusive.

Shuttle is adding three new models to expand its DS series in one fell
swoop. The existing DS57U is now complemented in European stores by
the DS57U3, DS57U5 and DS57U7 all with soldered Intel Core i3, Core i5
and Core i7 processors.

The four models, all in black, are based on 14 nm Broadwell
micro-architecture, featuring extremely low energy consumption and an
improved graphics unit.

With ultra-slim dimensions of 20 x 3.95 x 16.5 cm (DWH), the new
models offer room for up to 16 GB of energy-efficient 1.35 V DDR3L
memory on two SO-DIMM sockets. One 2.5" SATA drive with 6 Gbit/s can
be installed, while a mini-PCI Express slot can be fitted with an
mSATA SSD. A second mini-PCI Express slot has already a WLAN module
built in. The outside of the steel case sports two Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces with Intel controllers, 2x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0, audio ports
and a card reader. The additional two serial interfaces and remote
power-on connector ensure that the PCs can even be professionally used
when the computer itself is not directly accessible.

There is also a DisplayPort connector and an HDMI port for monitors
and TVs. As the DS57U3, DS57U5 and DS57U7 have an integrated Intel HD
Graphics 5500, complex content including 2160p (4K) can be played back
at full 60 Hz through the DisplayPort.

"After the successful launch of the DS57U in February this year, we
are now launching three more models that are currently unrivalled on
the market in terms of performance, silence and durability," states
Tom Seiffert, Head of Marketing & PR at Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH.
"Fanless PCs combined with Intel Core processors in this form will be
hard to find elsewhere."

The new models can be operated in various positions, e.g. space-saving
on the pedestal supplied, lying flat on a desk or installed on
suitable surfaces or monitors with the VESA mount provided. All models
are approved for operation at ambient temperatures of between 0 and 40
°C.

Shuttle's recommended retail prices are 402.00 EUR for the Barebone
DS57U3, 519.00 EUR for the DS57U5 and 673.00 EUR for the DS57U7 (all
ex VAT). The machines featured in this press release are available
from specialist retailers across Europe as of now. Initial shortages
of the DS57U7 may occur.

Shuttle is exhibiting at this year's COMPUTEX in Taipei (2-5 June
2015). The manufacturer would be delighted to welcome interested
visitors to its stand in the TWTC Nangang Exhibition Hall, Stand
L0832.
