Asus will be first to release mini PCs with AMD Ryzen 4000 Renoir APUs this summer

[Redaktion]

The upcoming Asus PN50 mini PCs will offer four APU options:  Ryzen 3 4300U, Ryzen 5 4500U, Ryzen 7 4700U, and Ryzen 7 4800U. As always, these are barebones models so users still need to provide RAM and storage. That said, the included motherboard offers support for up to 64 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and an M.2 slot along with a 2.5-inch bay for storage.

Wi-Fi 6 AX200 is Intel's.  Is this an AMD reference design?

Don't think so, Inet claims there is a separate Wi-Fi 6 card included.

Would seriously consider one of these.
It would be perfect if the maximum TDP could be configured through BIOS (10 to 25 Watt as far as I know).

That way the user can decide whether to have a completely silent (passive cooling) mode with 10 Watt, up to high performance with 25W with the fans revved up.

I don't understand why mini PCs typically lack rear audio outputs. It's like nobody is using speakers any more. Sure, there are USB DACs/ external sound cards, but that IMHO goes against the whole mini PC concept (it's another box lying there). That's more for people wanting proper speakers. There are speakers that connect to USB, but it seriously limits your options if you simply want some computer speakers.

What's keeping you from using the front audio output? Visual ugliness?

I don't like the bond between ASUS and AMD , it's get everything to delayed , because the exclusive

I wish there were more USB-C ports behind. At least two total, to connect and feed (energy and data) two monitors, and preferably three -- the third to connect and feed (energy and data) several portable hard drives.
