Back in April, BBen showcased their “Micro computer”, an Apollo Lake mini PC in stick form factor, at the Hong Kong Global Sources Electronics Fair, which was scheduled to launch in July. With about one month delay, the company is now selling Bben MN10 PC Stick starting at $157.30 including with an unlicensed Windows 10 installation, but also offer Windows 10 Home, and Windows 10 Pro for an extra $21.39 and $30.33 respectively.
BBen MN10 HDMI TV stick specifications:
- SoC – Intel Celeron N3350 dual core processor @ 1.1 GHz / 2.4 GHz, 12 EU Intel HD graphics 500 @ 200 MHz / 650 MHz; 6W TDP
- System Memory – 3 GB DDR3
- Storage – 64 GB eMMC flash + micro SD slot up to 128 GB
- Video Output – HDMI port
- Audio – HDMI + 3.5mm headphone jack
- Connectivity – Dual band 802.11 b/g/n/ac WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0
- USB – 2x USB 3.0 ports
- Misc – Fan and ventilation holes,
- Power Supply – 12V/1.5A via power barrel
- Dimensions – 110.6 x 45.5 x 13.8 mm
- Weight – 70 grams
The specifications are somewhat similar to ECDREAM A9 PC Stick, with the same processor, mostly the same interfaces, and active cooling, but the RAM is limited to 3GB, storage is larger at 64GB, and the BBen model adds an audio jack. MN10 will feel more like an actual stick with a 45.5 mm width compared to 58 mm for ECDREAM model.
The mini PC ships with a power adapter, a HDMI cable, a user guide, and a warranty card. In case you plan to connect a USB hard drive, the company recommends a low power external hard drive (5V/1A), or to connect it via “the USB 2.0 port”, which in this case must be mean connect it via a USB 2.0 hub, and not directly to the USB 3.0 port. The product is not listed on the company website just yet, but eventually we should find it on the company’s “mini PC” page.

Does this passthrough a HDMI video input as well or just HDMI audio?
Only one HDMI there and that is for output.
The great things about Windows 10 is that if keeps an eye on what your are doing and phones home with the data to show whether or not you have been a good citizen.
There should be PC stick whatever with N4200 CPU, 8Gb RAM, 64Gb eMMC (5.1), fanless.
No, there should be PC stick with i7 7700k, 32gb ram, fanless, with 2 pcie for external GPU

I know you’re joking but I do wonder about something like an Intel Compute Card that uses Thunderbolt 3 or maybe two of them. The TB3’d be for SSDs, GPUs, wired networking, whatever.
@Tommi
Impossible for the TDP to go fanless and that form factor. Could be done if the form factor is like intel NUC.
