Compact barebone desktop

This ASUS Mini PC barebone is a small-form-factor desktop chassis pre-fitted with an Intel Core i5 8265U processor running at 1.6 GHz. It is sold as a barebone unit, meaning memory, storage and an operating system are not included. The compact SFF design targets system integrators and hobbyists who want to build a custom low-power PC for office, signage or light media tasks.

Who this suits and who it does not

The platform suits builders comfortable sourcing and installing their own SO-DIMM memory, M.2 or 2.5-inch storage and a Windows or Linux licence. It does not suit buyers who want a ready-to-use computer with RAM, an SSD or an OS already installed, nor those needing discrete graphics performance or multiple high-wattage expansion slots.

Deciding specification: 1.6 GHz i5-8265U

The 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 8265U is the fixed processor that defines the performance ceiling and power envelope of this barebone. Its quad-core, eight-thread design with a low TDP determines whether the system can handle your intended workloads such as multi-monitor productivity, 4K video playback or fanless chassis designs. Verify that this CPU meets your single-thread and multi-thread requirements before purchasing the barebone.
