The mini PC market is a global business and has seen an increase in demand. Mini PC’s are portable yet functional and are always released with cutting edge technology.
Asus is an established player in this market. With the release of PN62, the company has garnered a lot of praise from its customers and critics alike.
Now, Asus has taken its game up a notch and released its new PN62S Mini PC. The new device measures 115 x 115 x 49 mm, this is small enough to hold in our palm. The weight is around 700g too.
The best part of PN62S is that the Mini PC will come with Intel’s latest 10th Gen Processors. These new processors are significant updates to the company’s previous generations. The major take-way being Intel’s migration from its 14nm chipset to its 10nm chipset. Having a smaller processor means the CPU will consume less power and will increase battery life. The 10th gen CPUs are primarily focused to improve power efficiency devices.
Graphics performance is also improved in the 10th gen chips. Intel’s latest Iris Pro graphics allows for smooth 1080p gaming of some big games like Fortnite. It is also more efficient in 4K video editing and photo processing.
The PN62S is available with intel i3-10110U, core i5-10210U, core i7-10510U, or core i7-10710U. It can hold up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM. It comes with slide-out chassis, which should make it simple to add or upgrade an M.2 or 2.5-inch drive.
