    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Mini PC advice

    Hi, I was thinking of buying an Asus PN59 https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/amd-pn50-4700u/, but I’m worried about even minimal fan noise, so I’m looking at a fanless pc. My desk area is limited so smaller is better. Monitor is a dell 2412 1920x1200 60hz. Uses are mainly office, a very...

    I see. I think the trade off for small and quiet is worth it for me as long as it performs the tasks I want it to do nice and effectively

    The reason is limited work space at home and fan noise. At the moment I've got a mini itx. I installed a 'quiet' fan which didn't help much and since I've put in an HDD for extra space it's worse. in fact driving me nuts. I'm open to suggestions here and could probably stretch my budget to £800...

    HI, I'm looking to get this set up. I use a basic 2d cad, I edit photos on photoshop and my son plays minecraft java edition on line with a friend. I'm fairly confident the spec will be good for my needs but just wanted to check on here. Many thanks Nick Case ASUS Ultra Small Form Factor...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST ASus mini pc advice please

    Okay, thanks for trying I’ve pasted a link here, but whether my spec will be on it I’m not sure. If not I’ll wait till there in stock so I can click ‘proceed’ then I think I can send the spec directly to the forum https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/amd-pn50-4700u/

    very useful reading.. I couldn't transfer the spec directly as the Asus pn50 is out of stock, so I'll paste it in. I don't mind waiting if it's the right machine for me. AMD Ryzen™ 7 8-Core Processor 4700U (2.0GHz, 4.1GHz Turbo) PN50 Ultra Small Form Factor (HDMI/USB-C/DP1.4, USB 3.1) RAM -...

    Hi All I'm planning on buying an Asus pn50 4700U and I'm scratching my head a little when it comes to the SSD storage. There's a 2.5" SATA 6 and an m.2 PCIe option. I'm thinking the SATA would be the boot drive and use the m.2 to store my document files, photos, etc. Would that make sense? And...
