  • Alienware Aurora R16 (2023)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Every video output on this tower comes from the graphics card — the motherboard back panel has none at all, so a typical RTX 40-series build gives you three DisplayPort 1.4a and one HDMI 2.1. The rear audio stack is unusually generous for 2023: optical TOSLINK, coaxial S/PDIF and a full six-jack analog surround array.…

  • Apple iMac 24-inch (M3, 2023)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    This 24-inch all-in-one runs on Apple’s M3 chip and keeps its port selection deliberately minimal — every data port is USB-C, and there’s no HDMI. The four-port model offers two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports (40 Gb/s, video-capable) plus two USB 3 ports (10 Gb/s, data only); the two-port model drops the USB 3 pair.…

  • Apple iMac 24-inch (M4, 2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Apple’s M4 all-in-one features two Thunderbolt 4 and two USB 3 ports, all using USB-C connectors, mounted on the rear of the display stand for a clean desk setup. Every USB-C port supports DisplayPort output, enabling up to two external displays alongside the built-in 24-inch 4.5K Retina screen. Gigabit Ethernet is uniquely integrated into the…

  • Apple Mac mini (M2 Pro, 2023)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    The M2 Pro version of Apple’s mini doubles the Thunderbolt count to four (USB-C) and upgrades the display port to true HDMI 2.1, capable of 4K@240Hz or 8K@60Hz — a real gain over the base model’s HDMI 2.0. Two USB-A ports run at USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gb/s), and the Gigabit Ethernet jack can be…

  • Apple Mac mini (M2, 2023)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Apple’s compact M2 desktop punches well above its size for connectivity, but the rear I/O is modest: two Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C) handle high-speed peripherals and a 6K display, while the HDMI port is only HDMI 2.0 — capped at 4K@60Hz, so no 4K@120Hz from HDMI here. Two USB-A ports run at USB 3.2 Gen…

  • Apple Mac Mini (M4 Pro, 2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    The M4 Pro variant of Apple’s redesigned Mac Mini upgrades to three Thunderbolt 5 ports on the rear, tripling bandwidth to 120 Gb/s compared to the standard M4 model’s Thunderbolt 4. Two front USB-C ports at 10 Gb/s handle peripherals and quick file transfers alongside a headphone jack. HDMI 2.1 drives a display up to…

  • Apple Mac Mini (M4, 2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Apple’s completely redesigned Mac Mini drops USB-A entirely in favor of an all-USB-C layout with three Thunderbolt 4 ports on the rear and two USB-C ports on the front. HDMI 2.1 on the back supports displays up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 240Hz without any adapter needed. A front-facing headphone jack with high-impedance…

  • Apple Mac Pro (M2 Ultra, 2023)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Apple’s tower workstation offers six Thunderbolt 4 ports split between two on top for quick access and four on the rear, each delivering up to 40 Gb/s for high-bandwidth peripherals and displays. Dual HDMI 2.1 outputs can each drive an 8K display at 60Hz or a 4K display at up to 240Hz. Two 10 Gigabit…

  • Apple Mac Studio (M2 Max/Ultra, 2023)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    This compact pro desktop puts most of its connectivity on the rear: four Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A, HDMI 2.1, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The front adds an SDXC UHS-II card reader and two USB-C ports — and here’s the catch buyers miss: on the M2 Max those front ports run at USB 3.2 Gen…

  • Apple Mac Studio (M3 Ultra, 2025)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Apple’s 2025 Mac Studio with M3 Ultra is the most port-dense Mac shipping, anchored by six Thunderbolt 5 ports rated up to 120Gb/s — two on the front, four on the back. The rear panel adds two USB-A (5Gb/s) ports, a single HDMI 2.1 output, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet jack, and a 3.5 mm headphone…

  • Apple Mac Studio (M4 Max, 2025)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Apple’s compact desktop powerhouse packs four Thunderbolt 5 ports on the rear delivering up to 120 Gb/s bandwidth each, triple the speed of Thunderbolt 4. Two front USB-C ports handle quick peripheral connections at 10 Gb/s alongside an SDXC UHS-II card slot for fast media imports. HDMI 2.1 on the rear drives a display up…

  • ASRock DeskMini X600 (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    ASRock’s AM5 barebone mini PC keeps things classic with a triple-display rear panel: HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K@120Hz), DisplayPort 1.4 and even a legacy VGA (D-Sub) output for older monitors and projectors. Connectivity is built around USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gb/s) — a front USB-C and three USB-A ports — plus a single 2.5Gb Ethernet…

  • ASUS NUC 14 Performance (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    ASUS’s high-end NUC pairs a Core Ultra 9 185H with a desktop RTX 4070 in a 2.4-litre chassis — five 4K displays from one mini PC. Rear I/O leads with one HDMI 2.1 FRL, two DisplayPort 1.4a, and a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C with DisplayPort 2.1 alt mode. Six USB-A 10Gbps ports plus two USB-A 2.0…

  • ASUS NUC 14 Pro (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Packed into a sub-1-liter chassis, this mini PC delivers dual Thunderbolt 4 ports on the rear for 40Gbps data and driving up to four displays simultaneously. Two HDMI 2.1 outputs add further display flexibility, supporting 4K@60Hz each with built-in CEC control. The front panel offers three USB ports including a 20Gbps USB-C for quick external…

  • ASUS NUC 14 Pro+ (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    ASUS’s larger-chassis Pro variant pairs Intel Core Ultra H-series CPUs (up to the 65W Ultra 9 185H) with the same dual Thunderbolt 4 + dual HDMI 2.1 quad-display rear cluster as the standard NUC 14 Pro. The front panel adds a 20Gbps USB Type-C and two 10Gbps USB-A ports for fast external SSD work. There…

  • ASUS NUC 15 Pro (2025)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Two Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back are the headline here: each carries DisplayPort 2.1 alongside USB4 data, and together with the two HDMI 2.1 outputs they drive up to four 4K displays from a chassis smaller than a paperback. The HDMI ports are TMDS-limited to 4K@60Hz, so the Thunderbolt ports are where high-refresh panels…

  • ASUS ROG NUC 970 (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    A gaming mini PC built around a laptop RTX 4070 and Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, the ROG NUC 970 splits its display outputs: the discrete GPU drives one HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a, while a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port (DisplayPort 2.1 via the integrated Intel Arc graphics) handles a fourth. The front has…

  • ASUS ROG Strix G16CH (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    This mid-tower gaming desktop delivers 10 USB ports across its front and rear panels, including two front USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 connectors for VR headsets and peripherals. The discrete NVIDIA GPU provides two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 output for multi-monitor gaming at up to 4K@120Hz. Three rear 3.5mm audio jacks support 7.1-channel surround…

  • Beelink GTi14 Ultra (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Beelink’s Intel Core Ultra 9 185H flagship mini PC mixes one Thunderbolt 4 port with a front USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 and five USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gb/s) ports — generous expansion for a 1-litre box. Video comes from HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a, while dual 2.5Gb Ethernet jacks and Wi-Fi 7 cover networking. A…

  • Beelink SER5 (2023)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    A triple-display mini PC in a compact chassis — DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, and a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode can drive three 4K monitors simultaneously. The 2.5G Ethernet jack is a standout at this price class, delivering meaningful NAS throughput over a 2.5G switch. USB-C runs at USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps)…

  • Beelink SER8 (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 8845HS, this mini PC offers three independent display outputs through three different connectors: one HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4, and one full-featured USB4 port (40 Gb/s) that also carries DisplayPort Alt Mode — together good for triple 4K144 output. A second USB-C port runs at 10 Gb/s for data. Two…

  • Beelink SER9 (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 mini PC drives three displays at once: HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 both do 4K@120Hz, and the single rear USB-C adds a third via DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode. That USB-C port is USB4 at 40Gbps, not Thunderbolt — Beelink’s own spec sheet stamps it “TBT3”, which only means it…

  • Corsair One i500 (2024)

    Dell · Desktop · 2023

    Corsair’s compact dual-AIO gaming desktop pairs a Core i9-14900K with an RTX 4090 in a 12-litre chassis. Front I/O is straightforward: two USB-A 5Gbps, one USB-C 10Gbps and a 3.5mm combo jack. The rear motherboard panel adds four USB-A 2.0 and three USB-A 10Gbps ports plus a USB-C 20Gbps connector, with 2.5G Ethernet and full…
