14 DAY TRIAL // All-in-one motherboards aren't exactly all-in-one motherboards. Setting aside how vague the term itself is, you still can't run an operating system right off the bat.
Still, all-in-one motherboards are pretty close to being independent. They only need you to connect a power supply to it and install one or two memory modules and you're set.
You don't even need a storage device if you happen to own a Windows to Go flash drive, since those things store a bootable version of the Windows OS all on their lonesome.
Biostar has formally launched an all-in-one motherboard. A mini-ITX model to be exact, called J1800TH and built around the Bay Trail chipset from Intel.
The platform has USB 3.0 support and a fanless heatsink for cooling the CPU, which, coincidentally, also makes any tiny, embedded or POS and digital signage PC based on it completely silent.
There is no PCI Express slot, but there are two SATA ports (for storage devices). You may note the lack of regular memory slots as well. That's because the board has DDR3L-1333 memory slots instead, like those in laptops.
For those who want further spec info, the CPU is a J1800 dual-core SoC with 2.41 GHz clock and on-die, 792 GPU. Sadly, no price and shipment info is available for the Biostar J1800TH.
