Asus PN52-BB5000X1TD-NL R5-5600H Mini PC (Barebone)

The Asus PN52-BB5000X1TD-NL is a barebone mini PC that packs the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H — a 6-core, 12-thread mobile processor — into an impressively compact enclosure. As a barebone system, it ships with the processor, WiFi 6E wireless module, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 120W power adapter already installed, while leaving the choice of DDR4 memory (up to 64GB across two SO-DIMM slots), storage (M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3x4 or 2.5-inch SATA), and operating system entirely up to the buyer. This flexibility makes it an attractive option for users who want to repurpose existing components or tailor the build to a specific use case.

Despite its small size, the PN52 offers a rich set of connectivity options. The rear panel features two HDMI 2.1 ports, a configurable DisplayPort, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Type-A ports, and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet jack, while the front provides additional USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and an audio combo jack. A Kensington lock slot on the side adds physical security. VESA mount compatibility means the entire unit can be hidden behind a monitor for a clean desk setup. With hardware TPM 2.0 support and compatibility with both Windows 10 and Windows 11, the PN52 is well-suited for home offices, digital signage, point-of-sale systems, or any environment where space is at a premium but capable processing power is still required. Asus backs the unit with a 3-year warranty.
