ASUS Mini PCs PN64 and PN52 unveiled

The two new ASUS Mini PCs PN64 and PN52 focus on strong performance in the particularly small 1-liter PC segment. Here, the manufacturer combines a compact layout with a thermal design that ensures stability for the latest AMD and Intel processors.

Measuring just 120 x 130 x 55.5 mm, each mini PC model can support up to four displays and has extensive connectivity options. In addition, the small PCs are equipped with built-in two-way AI noise cancellation, ensuring clear online voice communication between the user and their conversation partner.

Intel or AMD are the choice

The PN64 mini PC is powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core processor and DDR5 4800 RAM. It supports up to four displays, has five USB ports and a configurable port for docks and storage devices. For added flexibility, it is designed to allow easy access to hard drive and memory modules for easy upgrades.

The ASUS Mini PC PN52, on the other hand, is powered by the latest AMD Ryzen H-series processor with integrated AMD Radeon graphics. It features two M.2 2280 SSDs and a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive. On the connectivity side, the PN52 features two HDMI ports and seven USB ports, including a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port that supports DisplayPort 1.4 and a 120-watt power supply.

ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Gaming Router

The ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is the world’s first quad-band WiFi 6E gaming router. In terms of bands, this provides one 2.4 GHz, two 5 GHz and one 6 GHz band with 160 MHz channels in the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, respectively.

It is equipped with a Broadcom WiFi chipset and next-generation CPU to improve maximum network throughput by 18 percent. With ASUS RF technology and other exclusive ASUS technologies, RangeBoost Plus leverages several updated features that improve WiFi signal range and overall coverage by up to 38 percent.

Use as backhaul possible

A lot is also offered in terms of connectivity. Two 10 Gbps ports, one 2.5 Gbps WAN port and four 1 Gbps LAN ports are available. The quad-band capabilities of the Rapture GT-AXE16000 also give users more choices when connecting to an AiMesh system. For users with WiFi 6E devices, one of the 5-GHz bands can be used as a dedicated backhaul to the central router, leaving the other three bands free for device connections.

Additionally, the 6 GHz band can be used as a backhaul when used with another WiFi 6E router. This provides clean and fast transmission between two routers for an optimized mesh experience.
