The HEIGAOLA F9C is a small fanless computer with a set of metal fins on the top of the system for passive heat dissipation, support for up to two displays, and four 2.5 Gb Ethernet ports.
Powered by an Intel N100 Alder Lake-N processor, the system should be able to support Windows or most GNU/Linux distributions, and the Ethernet ports could come in handy if you plan to set the computer up for use as a server, firewall, or for other networking applications. As spotted by the folks at AndroidPC.es, the HEIGOLA F9C is now available from Amazon for $260.
For that price you get a model with 8GB of DDR4-3200 memory and a 128GB SSD, but both should be user-upgradeable: the computer has one SODIMM slot for memory and one M.2 2280 slot for PCIe NVMe storage.
Other features include support for WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2 and a set of ports that includes:
- 1 x HDMI 2.1
- 1 x USB 3.1 Type-C (for video or data)
- 2 x USB 3.0 Type-A
- 2 x USB 2.0 Type-A
- 1 x 3.5mm audio
- 1 x microSD card reader (supports cards up to 512GB)
- 1 x COM port
- 1 x USB-C port (for 12V DC power input only)
The system measures 171 x 112 x 31mm (6.7″ x 4.3″ x 1.2″).
HEIGAOLA also has several models with a similar chassis but different memory, storage, and port configurations. For example, there’s a $220 model with 16GB of RAM, 256GB of eMMC storage, and only two 2.5 GbE LAN ports, and another dual LAN model with 512GB of eMMC storage that sells for $240.
