MAINGEAR Solo 21 All-In-One PC – New Looks and Hardware!

By

MAINGEAR announced a redesigned version of the Solo 21 all-in-one PC. The MAINGEAR Solo 21 builds upon MAINGEARs pedigree of upgradeability, no bloatware, and excellent service and support that they are known for. The original Solo 21 used the Intel H61 chipset with the Intel 2nd Generation Core i7/i5/i3 ‘Sandy Bridge’ processors. The new and updated version uses the Intel Q77 chipset along with the Intel 3rd Generation Core i7/i5/i3 ‘Ivy Bridge’ processor series. The Maingear Solo 21 also has a fresh new look. The predecessor had an easel-like stand that looked cheap, but now there is an L-shaped stand that is reminiscent of Apple’s iMac. The MAINGEAR Solo 21 certainly looks better and is more powerful thanks to the hardware improvements!
