About this deal

M.2 slot on the bottom cover side only supports PCIe Gen3 x2 If the SATA is connected to HDD or SSD Please note that ExpertCenter D5 Mini Tower includes two up to 1 TB M.2 SSD drives and one up to 2 TB 3.5” HDD. A second 2.5” HDD of up to 2 TB can be optionally fitted by the user, for a total HDD capacity of up to 4 TB. In our other CPU-intensive benchmark, Geekbench, the PN52 performs well enough in the multi-core tests, but again the Mac mini cuts to the front of the line with a lead of more than 3,000 points. As for the Photoshop test, the PN52 does take the lead, but several systems either couldn't be tested for compatibility reasons, or wouldn't run it. The Ryzen 7 5800H inside the Asus PN52 is a decent processor most often used in mid-to-higher-level laptops. Given these results and the fact that these type of applications would likely be the most popular use of the PN52, most users would be pleased with the performance of the system. However, the Mac mini simply seems more powerful for close to the same price, a trend we'll see continue to play out in the visual rendering arena. Graphics Tests UL’s 3DMark is a graphics test suite for Windows that contains a number of benchmarks for different GPU functions and software APIs. We run two DirectX 12 tests on all PCs: Night Raid, which is appropriate for PCs with integrated graphics (such as the ones benchmarked), and Time Spy, which is more demanding and more suitable for higher-end PCs with souped-up graphics cards and GPUs.

On these two benchmarks, the PN52 actually breezes through Time Spy, with the highest score by a few hundred points. Two of the other systems were either incompatible with this test (Mac mini) or would not run it (the NUC). The exact reverse is true of the Night Raid test, with the PN52’s score the lowest of the bunch, and Intel's NUC 11 Pro Kit on top.Please note that ExpertCenter D8 Mini Tower includes two up to 4 TB M.2 SSD drives and one up to 2 TB 3.5” HDD. A second 2.5” HDD of up to 2 TB can be optionally fitted by the user, for total HDD capacity of up to 4 TB. Terms and conditions apply. For more details, please read the full terms and published on https://www.asus.com/content/asus-offers-adobe-creative-cloud/.

Please note that ExpertCenter D8 SFF includes two up to 4 TB M.2 SSD drives and one up to 2 TB 3.5” HDD. A second 2.5” HDD of up to 2 TB can be optionally fitted by the user, for total HDD capacity of up to 4 TB. With the configuration we received, it’s possible to drive four 4K monitors, or one 8K-resolution display, though we performed our benchmarks with a single standard 4K-resolution display. Also included are Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 hardware support. Asus utilities included with the PN52 include MyAsus, which makes it easy to connect the PC and a mobile device; switch between performance and quiet fan modes; activate two-way AI noise cancellation when used with a microphone-equipped headset; and view onboard hardware diagnostics. Please note that ExpertCenter D5 SFF includes two up to 1 TB M.2 SSD drives and one up to 2 TB 3.5” HDD. A second 2.5” HDD of up to 2 TB can be optionally fitted by the user, for a total HDD capacity of up to 4 TB.

Please note that ExpertCenter D7 SFF includes two up to 2 TB M.2 SSD drives and one up to 2 TB 3.5” HDD. A second 2.5” HDD of up to 1 TB can be optionally fitted by the user, for total HDD capacity of up to 3 TB.

ASUS ExpertCenter PN52 can support up to four 4K displays via two HDMI ® ports, DisplayPort™ over USB-C ® or other user-configurable ports, without any limitation on the combination used. ASUS ExpertCenter PN52 can draw power from any USB Power Delivery-enabled display or device, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter to create a neater, uncluttered workspace.Terms and conditions apply. For more details, please read the full terms and published on https://www.asus.com/uk/content/asus-offers-adobe-creative-cloud/. The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810 testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810 testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.

ASUS ExpertCenter PN64 delivers breathtaking 8K visuals at 30 frames per second via the configurable standard DisplayPort or DisplayPort over USB-C. Experience a level of detail that’s 4X greater than 4K, or 16X that of traditional FHD output. While this roll-your-own approach appeals to some people, others will appreciate the ExpertCenter PN52’s "take-it-out-of-the-box, plug it in, and go" appeal. The PN52 we tested is just a touch larger than a typical NUC, measuring 2.3 by 4.7 by 5.1 inches (HWD) and weighing in at a feathery 2.4 pounds. The PN52 is unusual for a mini PC in that the CPU installed in our test unit was an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, a mobile CPU with integrated Radeon graphics. (Intel chips tend to dominate the mini PC world.) You can also get the PN52 with a Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 9 5900HX processor. Mobile CPU notwithstanding, we are pleasantly surprised with just how well the PN52 did on many of our benchmarks.

ASUS ExpertCenter D9 SFF D900SCES

Based on ASUS internal testings. Unless otherwise stated, all performance claims are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations. On PCMark 10, the PN52’s 6,000 score on the main benchmark and 1,535 on the storage benchmark ace out the comparison PCs, even with one (the D500) boasting a desktop CPU. This is impressive, but things look less rosy once the Mac mini is allowed to play, and when multicore processing comes to the fore (in Handbrake and Cinebench). The PN52 landed second to last in the Handbrake test at 14:27, whereas the Mac mini shoots straight to the front of the race with a time of 8:00. On Cinebench, the PN52’s score of 2,961 was last of the bunch. The Mac mini scored highly on this test once again, but is bested ultimately by the desktop CPU in the other Asus ExpertCenter. Again, rendering is generally a CPU- and core-intensive process, and the desktop chip has an intrinsic strength here. Unless otherwise stated, all performance claims are based on theoretical performance. UPS performance tested under system default brightness of 110 nits and volume at 67%, with both WiFi and Bluetooth enabled, but not connected, and playing an offline HD video. The data-protection period calculation is based on ExpertCenter A1 AiO entering hibernation mode after the initial usable period, providing an extended opportunity for power to be restored. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.
