ASUS ExpertCenter PN42 Mini PC Kit Intel N100 (Black)

The ASUS PN42-BBFN1000X1FU is a barebone mini PC kit designed for users who need desktop-class capability in a body that occupies very little desk space. It arrives with an Intel N100 quad-core processor that reaches up to 3.4 GHz, giving you enough headroom for everyday office work, web browsing, and light multitasking without the noise of a traditional tower.

Inside the fanless chassis, ASUS leaves room for you to add up to 16 GB of DDR4 memory and an NVMe PCIe SSD as large as 2 TB. The tool-free access panel lets you complete these upgrades in minutes, which is helpful for IT staff or hobbyists who prefer easy maintenance.

Connectivity is another strong suit. Two 2.5 GbE LAN ports handle wired networks that demand high throughput, while built-in Wi-Fi 6E keeps cable management simple in offices, classrooms, or home setups. Three 4K display outputs allow a triple-monitor workspace or an attention-grabbing digital signage array in retail and hospitality environments.

Because the system runs without fans, it stays quiet in libraries, meeting rooms, or studio apartments. The bundled VESA mount kit lets you tuck the unit behind a monitor or under a counter to free up even more surface area. The device also carries ENERGY Star and EPEAT Silver certifications, which help organizations meet sustainability goals and reduce electricity costs.

Whether you are building a fleet of small office workstations, upgrading point-of-sale displays, or creating a clutter-free home office, this mini PC kit offers a flexible foundation that you can tailor to your exact needs.
