Their creativity in these board designs is fun to watch. They have managed to pack so much into that board area, given a little stretch outside the standards. It's a shame Mini-ATX never really caught on.
It must be an interesting culture over there to allow these sorts of designs to get to the retail market outside of their chassis, in comparison to, e.g., SuperMicro WIO designs that don't really fit anything but SM chassis.
I love them specifically for their server motherboards. Very innovative designs with a variety of chipset support and form factors. Well built, reliable, featureful, and relatively inexpensive. They're eating into Supermicro's dominance in the market.
I'm not sure that's right. Does ASRock have any product in the miniPC market? All I see are brands like Beelink and Minisforum, and they shove Ryzen5/7/9 and Core i5/i7/i9 in boxes similar to raspberry pis.
