The board officially support Windows 10 64-bit, but Linux distributions should be supported although if you decided to install a Linux operating system don’t expect support from GIGABYTE:
Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors’ website or 3rd party website.
The board ships with the driver disc, a user’s manual, one COMA/B port cable
one audio cable, two SATA cables, one SATA power cable, one USB cable, and one heatsink.
I could not find pricing anywhere at this stage, although it’s listed on a German reseller but without price info. The board targets the industry and the embedded space, so it won’t be as cheap as a consumer board.
More details, including the user’s manual, BIOS and Windows drivers, can be found on the product page.

Such boards typically cost about $200-300.
For a price indication, got to mouser.com, and search for N3350.
So far the cheapest board in that size/speed range is the Odroid H2 (J4105 2.5GHz). Most bang for the buck.
The larger brother is listed in Germany for 149€: https://geizhals.de/gigabyte-ga-sbcap3350-a1702866.html?show_description=1
But there is only one shop!
> But there is only one shop!
The GA-SBCAP3350 is from 2017 and at this shop there’s just one single remaining unit available…
Gigabyte’s embedded division makes a lot of things like this, just not available to the general public.
They also have a wide range of various ARM based boards, again, not available to the general public.
