ASRock N3150 Braswell Motherboard Round-up Review

Packaging, A Closer Look & Layout Analysis – N3150B-ITX

Plain and simple packaging, with the key features printed along the middle.

All the usual bit, such as installation manual, driver CD, I/O shield and 2x SATA 6 cables.

Getting a look over the board, this lacks some features that were included on the N3150-ITX, such as dropping two SATA 6 ports and the mini PCIe slot.

Looking at the I/O, this resembles more of an early 2000 motherboard thanks to the Parallel, D-Sub and COM ports. It’s nice to see a company think of the past with customers who are likely stuck with aging technology. We have 2x PS/2 ports, 1x Parallel, 1x D-Sub, 1x COM, 1x HDMI port, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0, 1x Gigabit LAN and 3x audio jacks.

Moving to the bottom of the board, we can see that it has cut back on the features, most likely to save costs.

Here it follows a similar design to the N3150-ITX.
