Sapphire showed us its Brazos 2.0 motherboard based on AMD's E2-1800 APU with Radeon HD 7340 graphics. The Pure Mini E2-1800 uses SO-DIMMs (8GB max) and features both a mini-PCIe and a full PCIe x16 slot.

Any likelihood of you getting a sample for review? This seems (from initial impressions) to be a perfect upgrade to my aging ion+atom setup.etamin - Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - link
I'm not familiar with Atom and Brazos boxes, how does one go about finding a cooler for them?that chip is clearly not in a socket.mevans336 - Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - link
The manufacturer will include a heatsink, most likely passively cooled, on the shipping product.Einy0 - Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - link
I like that there is one, but at the same time it is close to the APU. I was hoping for more passively cooled boards in this power profile. At 18Watts a large passive heatsink should do the job easy.
