Where Does a Mini PC Make Sense?
In a recent piece, we looked at how modern mini PCs like the ASUS PN50 compare to laptops, but with the power and capabilities of such devices, it’s worth considering how and where a Mini PC makes sense in your business.
Offering incredible power in small formats able to be installed virtually anywhere, is there a viable application for your business, and if so, where is it? Let’s look at where the Mini PC belongs, and how it can transform your business.

Replacing Large Desktop Systems
Most day-to-day work doesn’t require the power draw and physical space demanded by traditional tower PCs. Data entry, web browsing, emails, and so on draw little energy and demand very little performance, so why is your business still opting for full towers to drive such tasks? Small form-factor systems like the ASUS PN50 fulfil such needs without the same space requirements, delivering high performance across a variety of tasks expected by systems in the office, with incredible power efficiency. It’s time your business swapped out dated, bulky desktop systems for modern mini PCs that save space, time, and money on energy costs.Energy-Efficient Operations
Have a system or configuration in place where energy efficiency is vital? Perhaps you have a system that’s required to run twenty-four hours a day, calculating operations, managing IT infrastructure, or acting as a permanent office email server, for example? Larger systems make little sense when it comes to such needs; the power they draw and the space they take up mean lower operational effectiveness over longer periods. Mini PCs offer no such drawbacks, able to be hidden away, out of sight, but with the knowledge that their efficiency means significantly lower power costs, even if run persistently.Where Space is Critical
Naturally, small form-factor systems are desired for their size. But until recently, such small systems haven’t been able to provide quite the level of performance needed by heavier workloads, or operations that span more than one system. Modern systems like the ASUS PN50 however, offering up to 8-core, 16-thread processors, are perfect micro powerhouses, ideal for installing within embedded systems such as kiosks, gaming and gambling systems, and digital signage displays. The ASUS PN50 can output to an 8K, 60Hz display, or can drive up to four 4K resolution displays, making it ideal for such applications.Where Versatility is Key
When it comes to creating systems like the ASUS PN50 mini PC, ASUS takes every care to design a system that meets multiple demands. Powered by the latest hardware, the PN50 also includes features like an IR receiver for remote control usage, Wi-Fi 6 support, dual-array microphones for convenient voice control, a range of I/O for multiple displays, and more. If your business has unique requirements, that’s not a problem; the ASUS PN50 has configurable ports, meaning you’re able to choose your own combination, making the system suitable for any conceivable display scenario1. The definition of the workstation computer is evolving. Where once it meant a large, bulky desktop tower, now smaller systems with incredible power efficiencies are taking the lead.
