ASRock D1800M Motherboard
Conclusions
Contents
The ASRock D1800M is clearly aimed at users who wants to build a desktop computer, spending as little money as possible. The motherboard has only the already few features of the Celeron J1800 chip: two SATA-300 ports and one USB 3.0 port. It is a lot less than most mainstream motherboards, but it is what you will actually need to build a super-inexpensive desktop computer with one hard disk drive. The lone USB 3.0 port allows you to use a high-speed external drive and also external devices such as digital cameras, tablets, and smartphones.
The TDP of only 10 W is another highlight, since it allows you to save money on the power supply, cooling, and your energy bill. And, if you keep in mind that the motherboard with the CPU costs only about USD 60, you will have to agree that it provides a terrific bang for the buck.
The only things we actually missed were one M.2 (or even mSATA) slot and a Mini PCI Express slot to install a Wi-Fi card.
