Great Performance for the Price, But Unreliable Ethernet8/27/2020 12:45:10 PM
Pros: Better performing than the Intel NUC8I3 and NUC10I3 systems in CPU, Video, and the Samsung EVO 970 Plus SSD performed better in this ASUS PN50 system vs. the Intel NUC systems.
Cons: The wired network connection would go down every day or so. A reboot would always bring it back up, and sometimes disabling and enabling the network adapter would do the trick. We updated the drivers, disabled allowing Windows to put it to sleep, went through BIOS settings disabling all power management, and contacted ASUS tech support without being able to resolve the issue. In the end we had to send it back as it will work for our customers, where the network connection must be continuously maintained.
Overall Review: I really like this system, with it's excellent performance and low current draw. We will be testing a replacement system. Hopefully, the wired network connectivity is a one off issue, as we would like to offer them to our clients.
Manufacturer Response:
Dear Charles,
Absolutely, the MiniPC has an excellent performance.Do understand the inconvenience this may have caused you if you are experiencing issues with the LAN device.
To resolve the issue, please ensure that Windows was installed fresh from scratch using the unit in order to avoid any driver conflict. If the BIOS, LAN and chipset driver, and Windows are up to date, please verify if the router is working properly.
If the above-mentioned troubleshooting tips were performed to no avail, we recommend sending the product in for further diagnostics and testing.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

Great design, poor quality control11/6/2020 9:23:57 AM
Pros: Looks great. Compact design. 2x USB-C ports, better ports than ASROCK AMD 4000 series system.
Cons: 1st unit had a USB-A port die within a few days. 2nd unit seems to have thermal issue, fan set to quiet but it spins to max regularly and overall the system feels less powerful.
Overall Review: Really frustrated because I WANT to use this system but it keeps having issues and it's constantly out of stock. Might be forced to keep it and do a warranty claim, which I bet will be far more annoying than return and repurchase with NEWEGG.
Manufacturer Response:
Dear Blake,
Absolutely, it is a great product. Do understand the inconvenience this may have caused you if both units did have quality issues, these are random since all ASUS products undergo intensive quality control testing and inspections, this is a random problem. Normally, ASUS provides one year warranty coverage, if product was purchased brand-new, in order to fix or repair any hardware or, part that stop working prematurely under normal usage.
Your concern about the thermal issue, it is normal for the laptop to generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle. This usually occurs while the laptop is under heavy load like gaming, WINDOWS Update and antivirus scan. It does decreases or normalizes once utilization goes down.
If you need more information or further assistance with the warranty for the product, please visit ASUS Support webpage, or call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688, and we would be more than glad to help.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

Great miniPC as HTPC, but limited11/5/2020 10:42:57 AM
Pros: - Small - Quite enough - Powerful enough for 1080P(medial playback/streaming)
Cons: - a good pair of 3200 DDR4(Crucial Ballistix 16GB (2 x 8GB) 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Laptop Memory Model BL2K8G32C16S4B) only working at 2666. It's not like they are cheap ones. - No settings in BIOS to change the memory clock. - Video memory set only to 512MB - No settings in BIOS to adjust the size of Video Memory.
Overall Review: This can be a great HTPC, tiny yet capable. But I shall see how it fares with 4k(HDR) context in both media playback and as well as streaming.
Manufacturer Response:
Dear Valued Customer,
Indeed, it is a powerful PC in a small-formfactor. We do understand your concern about the RAM not running at the rated speed and the inconvenience this may have caused you.
If the DDR4 3200 RAM sticks are not being recognized correctly, please load default settings in the BIOS after being installed in order to configure the RAM correctly. If this was performed to no avail, please update the BIOS if the PC is running with an older version.
Certainly, it will support 4K and will fare well in the said resolution, just ensure your monitor does support 4K resolution.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please visit ASUS Support webpage, or call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688, and we would be more than glad to help.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

Great little system!10/14/2020 9:41:32 AM
Pros: Good value AMD system (rare in this form factor, and right now that means support for faster memory than Intel, and more cores per Watt).
Cons: Front USB-A port is significantly slower than all the other USB ports. (In terms of transfer rate for a USB drive - both read and write were affected).
Overall Review: I plan to use this for a home server. I bought the cheapest version with the 4300U (others were out of stock anyway), paired with a fast SSD and memory. But I was curious about how it would perform as a desktop, and tried out with Ubuntu Desktop on a 4K 60Hz display. Wow! The OS is really snappy. Even some old Steam games work great (Portal 2 gets 30Hz, or 60Hz at 1080p). I mean, this definitely isn’t a “gaming rig” but it has some interesting capabilities. And for a small home server it seems very compelling.
Awesome system!10/1/2020 2:08:13 PM
Pros: It just plain works well. Put a Samsung 970 EVO as boot, a WD 2.5" HDD for data and 32GB x 2 of Crucial DIMMs; machine is fast! Updated the BIOS already without any hassles.
Cons: UEFI is the old BIOS (keyboard) style, not GUI like the PN40 or PN60 :-(
Overall Review: As an Asus & AMD fan, I was not disappointed. Much faster than the PN60 I had before this. Most definitely recommend it.

Sweet mini pc9/5/2020 8:25:25 PM
Pros: Small. Well built. 2.5" drive and nvme support. It runs pretty quiet.
Cons: Not really cons, but things to note: No rear audio out. I wish they had a fan-less version, it would make a great silent pc. Efi boot support only, no legacy support.
Overall Review: Rest of build: Old 128gb Samsung 830 pro ssd F4-3200C16D-16GRS 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 I'm using it as a media center PC running pop os with mainline kernel (5.8.x). Stock kernel in pop os 20.04 doesnt have graphics support for renoir. I wanted to buy the faster (4800u) version but it wasn't available. Turns out I didn't really need more power. Graphics works great with the hardware acceleration playing video (h264 1080p, I don't have 4k display or video to try). Works great as a client for steam remote play too. It's not silent but it is pretty quiet while playing encoded video.

Pros: Tight little project. Pretty snappy.
Cons: Can't even register the unit.(It's not on any ASUS's lists)
Overall Review: I was able to get the latest Radeon driver up and working only after I activated Win 10. So it's putting out 4k. WD Black is running at 3400Mbs. Pretty cool!
