ASUS today announced the ExpertCenter PB64, a 1.35-litre mini PC that delivers desktop-class performance in a compact form factor, designed for business, healthcare, retail, and education environments.

Measuring 175 × 175 × 44.2 mm, the PB64 is available in black or white and ships with a bundled stand and VESA-mount support.

The system is tested to US MIL-STD-810H reliability standards. That means it can cope with harsh conditions, including extreme temperatures, altitude, and humidity, and is designed for 24/7 operation.

The chassis includes a stackable optical drive module and features a toolless design for quick memory or SSD upgrades.

Connectivity is extensive, with eight USB ports, including USB Type-C^® 3.2 Gen 1, USB Type-A Gen 1, and USB 2.0 connectivity on its front and rear panels.

There’s also a configurable port that can be set as DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, COM, or LAN.

The PB64 can power up to four displays in 4K UHD resolution, making it well-suited to industrial and commercial applications.

Wireless capability is provided by Intel WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, enabling smooth multi-device connections and stable peripheral links.

Security is covered with a Kensington lock slot and chassis intrusion alerts.
