The rear panel includes four Intel I226-V 2.5 gigabit Ethernet ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a Type-C USB port for Power Delivery. On the left panel are a Type-C USB port and a microSD card slot. The front panel has a power button and two USB 3.1 ports. As an actively cooled mini PC, the R1 uses either an Intel Jasper Lake Pentium Silver mobile N6005 processor (as in the review unit) which has 4 cores and 4 threads and can boost to 3.3GHz together with Intel UHD Graphics, or it is available with a Celeron 5105 processor. The iKOOLCORE R1 physically consists of a 75 x 75 x 48mm (2.95 x 2.95 x 1.89 inches) square metal case which has a removable plastic top. IKOOLCORE R1 overview Overview of hardware The rest of the specifications are aligned to the physical device with the possible exception of the data-only Type-C USB port (see below): Technically ‘EC’ refers to an ‘EC declaration of conformity’ which is not a certificate, however, the ‘EC declaration of conformity’ is called a ‘CE statement’ or ‘CE certificate’ which is why you often see this abbreviated as ‘CE’. Of note are the ‘EC, FCC, RoHS’ certifications indicating both European conformity and approval for use in the US. IKOOLCORE list the R1 specifications on their website as: I approached iKOOLCORE who kindly provided an R1 for review and I’ve looked at performance running both Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 and dabbled with using hypervisors on this mini PC through Proxmox virtual environment. When I first saw the iKOOLCORE R1 I was fascinated that a mini PC of similar size to the smallest fully functional ones available (think Chuwi LarkBox, GMK NucBox or ECS LIVA Q Series) could be equipped with four 2.5 gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE) ports.
