Compact Size and Aesthetic
ASUS ExpertCenter PN42 is smaller than traditional desktop, and the size of it is similar to phone.
The compact size of PN42 save your workspace which can be particularly useful in smaller workspaces or areas where space is limited. The compact size of a Mini PC also makes it easier to transport. This can be useful if you need to move it between different workspaces.
Fanless Chassis
The fanless design of ExpertCenter PN42 runs almost silently and helps reduce dust ingress into the heatsink, making it perfect for industrial use. The elegant ribbed, vented design of the chassis enhances cooling, and a dedicated heatsink helps cool the SSD and WiFi module. The robust build quality of PN42 ensures durability and reliability, making it an excellent computing platform even in the most demanding of environments.
Ultrafast WiFi 6 / WiFi 6E
The WiFi 6 module in ExpertCenter PN42 facilitates seamless streaming of high-res videos, fewer connection drops, and multiple connections without impeding network speeds. WiFi 6E is an extended version of WiFi 6 that supports the 6 GHz band to allow more devices to connect simultaneously, without congestion or interference. WiFi 6E also offers improved security to guard against unauthorized access and malware attacks.
Crystal-Clear Communication
The AI noise-cancelation feature leverages artificial intelligence to eliminate background noise for both input and output audio to ensure crystal-clear communication, even in noisy environments. ExpertCenter PN42 supports popular communication platforms including Microsoft Teams, Skype, Slack, and Zoom.
RGB Power Button
The RGB power button acts as a visual indicator for system status and flashes when boot-up issues are encountered.
Comprehensive Connectivity
PN42 has seven USB Type-A to connect lots of device and supports dual 2.5G LAN to distinguish between two internal networks. To mention configurable port, it comes with DP, HDMI, Type-C with DP, COM, or VGA*, for monitor or legacy devices, like barcode scanners and receipt printers. PN42 Series can fit a wide-range of usages, including Signage, Point-Of-Sale system, KIOSK and intelligent vending machine.
