ASRock N3150 Braswell Motherboard Round-up Review

Packaging, A Closer Look & Layout Analysis – N3150-ITX
The box follows the usual design for some of the lower market motherboard products from ASRock, plain and simple with the key features printed along the middle.
Accessories are very simple, installation manual, driver CD, I/O shield and 2x SATA 6 cables.
The first detailed look at the N3150-ITX leaves good impressions, with 4x SATA 6 powers, USB 3.0 header and a Mini PCIe slot for a wireless card.
For such as basic option, ASRock have really thrown in the outputs here, 2x USB 2.0, 1x PS/2 port, 1x DVI, 1x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, 4x USB 3.0, 1x Gigabit LAN and HD audio.
With ITX becoming more common in the consumer market, its a shame that a PCIe x16 slot wasn’t implemented on this board for additional discrete graphics.
All of the power that this motherboard requires is drawn from a 24-pin ATX connector. Along the side of the heatsink, we see the first SODIMM slot.
Nothing interesting along the top of the board apart from the peculiar placed second SODIMM slot.
