The ASRock Z270M-ITX/ac brings the performance of Intel's latest Kaby Lake processors to even the smallest computers. Intel's continual improvements to power usage and onboard graphics capabilities can be very beneficial in small systems, where power supply capacity and room for dedicated video cards is limited. The onboard video provides one DVI and two HDMI outputs, supporting up to three active monitors at a time. Numerous other connections are supported as well: USB 2.0 & 3.0, dual gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, and analog audio jacks. It is equipped with a single PCI-Express x16 slot, capable of housing a dedicated video card or other expansion device (chassis permitting).
William George (Marketing Project Manager) Says:
This board packs a lot of features into a small size - and fairly small price tag, too. That is important for compact systems, since there is very little room to expand or add features beyond what the motherboard includes. The single PCI-Express slot is usually for a dedicated video card, at least when the chassis it is installed in is big enough, but could also be used for other devices if needed.
