5 Things to Know About the ASRock DeskMini X300

DisplayPort 1.4 is the key upgrade It replaces the older 1.2 version, enabling higher refresh rates at 4K and HDR support.

The rest of the ports are unchanged You still get HDMI 2.0, VGA, two front USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A, a front USB-C, two rear USB 3.2 Gen1, Gigabit Ethernet, and DC power.

The front USB-C is only Gen1 speed At 5Gbps, it is not the faster Gen2, which is a disappointing omission for a mid-cycle refresh.

It is a minor update, not a redesign Everything except the DisplayPort follows the same formula as the older DeskMini 310.

HDR support is now possible The DisplayPort 1.4 upgrade makes HDR output feasible, which was not available on the previous model.
