Hi everyone,

Yesterday I forgot to write a post, because I received, finally, my UDOO x86 Advanced and I started playing with it.

This particular board has an Intel Celeron N3160 clocked at 1.60Ghz and can go up to 2.40Ghz. It has Intel Graphics HD 400 with 12 execution units clocked at 640Mhz, comes with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage after upgrading it in my Kickstarter Pledge.

This is how the board looks:

It has 3 USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI and 2 Mini DisplayPort connectors so you can connect 3 displays, it also has a headset jack, a Gigabit Ethernet Port, a SATA connector, and an Arduino 101. You also have a Front Panel connector so you can plug a button and Power and HDD LEDs.

So the next thing I did was to connect a Power button to it using the Front Panel connector, an old 250GB HDD, an Arctic Breeze USB fan to keep the CPU cool and of course, the HDMI, Ethernet, the Mouse and Keyboard Dongle and the Windows 10 Flash Drive to install Windows 10 to it. This board comes with no OS installed, so you have to download and install an OS:

Once Windows 10 was installed, I installed BOINC and added the World Community Grid, Collatz Conjecture, and WUProp projects to keep the CPU busy and do helpful work. You can see the performance here:

Finally, I started playing with the Arduino and wrote the very basic LED Blinking software:

So far I like this board, and I can recommend it since it is a powerful machine with a small form factor. Perfect for daily work and the Intel Celeron CPU is actually very good! It has the following instruction set:

I will be uploading my unboxing video and the Windows 10 installation video guide I made, so stay tuned for the videos!
