Overview

A builder who already owns memory and an SSD gets a compact Ryzen mini PC to assemble. The OCuLink port links an external graphics card, while dual USB4 and dual fast wired network ports handle peripherals and network links.

Expansion is the reason to consider it: the fast processor, an external graphics link, dual USB4 and dual wired networking make a flexible base for a custom mini PC or small lab machine. The limitation is the extra shopping and setup, since memory, an SSD and an operating system all have to be added before it works.

Who it's for

A home lab, a compact gaming setup with an external graphics card, or a small server project where the owner is comfortable fitting parts. First-time computer buyers should choose a complete system, as nothing here includes memory, storage or Windows.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • OCuLink for external graphics
  • Dual USB4 ports
  • Dual wired network ports
  • Large memory ceiling
Cons
  • No RAM, SSD or OS included
  • Dimensions not listed
  • Only two USB ports in total

Performance notes

Speed depends on what the buyer installs, since memory capacity, memory speed and the SSD are not supplied. The eight-core processor and integrated Radeon graphics handle everyday and light gaming work, and the OCuLink port allows an external graphics card to take over heavy graphics. Cooling design is not described in the listing.
