New NAS and NAS PRO series geared toward home and SMB users
In this third round of Computex coverage, we bring you up to speed on 19 more of our meetings, covering displays, motherboards, tablets, keyboards, mice, cases, power supplies, storage, audio, and power supplies. As you can see, we were quite busy.

Synology has its DS412+ and Thecus has its N4800. Both are four-bay NAS servers equipped with Intel’s Atom D2700 processor. But does Intel's latest low-power platform help these appliances outperform their predecessors, which were armed with Atom D525?
