ASUS has announced the ExpertCenter PB64 mini-PC designed for business, healthcare, and retail environments, featuring Arrow Lake-based Intel Core Ultra desktop processors, support for up to three storage drives – including two M.2 SSDs and one 2.5-inch SATA SSD/HDD – and up to 64GB of DDR5-6400MHz CSODIMM memory.

The ASUS ExpertCenter PB64 can power up to four displays through two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, a USB4 Type-C port, and an additional configurable port that can be optioned with DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1 TMDS, or legacy VGA connectors (it can also be optioned with COM ports or a second 2.5GbE LAN port). The remainder of the I/O includes six USB-A ports in an assortment of bandwidths, along with a second USB-C port rated for 10Gbps speed and comes with 100W USB Power Delivery support. There’s also Intel Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 onboard for wireless connectivity.
Since this is a mini-PC designed for commercial environments, it comes with security features like Kensington lock slot and an intrusion alert system that notifies administrators if the chassis has been opened since the last startup. It’s also part of the ASUS Corporate Stable Model (CSM) program that includes a stable supply roadmap with a 36-month availability guarantee and end-of-life notice to help minimize downtime during fleet refreshes.
The system is available in both black and white finishes, with dimensions measuring 175 x 175 x 44.2 mm, small enough to support VESA mounting and includes a bundled stand for flexible installation as well. Its tool-less design allows for straightforward upgrades of memory and storage components. ASUS says the availability of ExpertCenter PB64 in Malaysia will be announced at a later date.
Pokdepinion: Reminds me of Framework Laptop’s approach for that optional port.
