ASRock Q2900M Motherboard
Conclusions
Contents
The ASRock Q2900M is targeted at users who want to build a quad-core, low-consumption desktop computer, spending as little money as possible. The motherboard has only the already few features of the Pentium J2900 chip: two SATA-300 ports and one USB 3.0 port. It is a lot less than most entry-level 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 CPU TDP of only 10 W is a highlight, since it allows you to save money on the power supply, cooling, and your energy bill.
The only features we actually missed were one M.2 (or even mSATA) slot and a Mini PCI Express slot to install a Wi-Fi card.
