Stylish mini PC powered by the latest Intel processor delivers full-fledged computing for the home or office

ASUS today announced VivoMini UN45, a mini PC that offers desktop-like performance and full PC functionality for the home or office. ASUS VivoMini UN45 has an elegant 131 x 131 x 42mm chassis which shares the same Good Design Award-winning lines of VivoMini UN62. VivoMini UN45 operates in silence thanks to its fanless design and low-power processor. It is available with the latest quad- or dual-core Intel® Celeron® processors, and supports 4K/UHD displays. In addition, it has native M.2 support, with a PCI Express® SSD option providing data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbit/s; while 802.11ac Wi-Fi provides stronger signals and up to three times the speed of previous Wi-Fi standards. A software suite, including the ASUS-exclusive Media Streamer, Remote Go!, and ASUS Business Manager apps, makes VivoMini UN45 ideal for homes or small businesses.

Elegantly-designed for the home or office

VivoMini UN45 shares VivoMini UN62’s Good Design Award-winning chassis, with smooth rounded edges and the iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal-effect finish. The glossy Midnight Blue color scheme makes it a striking addition to any office or home. Its compact and lightweight design measures just 131 x 131 x 42mm and can be VESA-mounted on the back of a display — allowing users to create a custom all-in-one PC.

VivoMini UN45 is ideal for use as a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, digital signage, kiosk display, or as a small-office computing platform. It can be easily customized to users’ needs, and can serve as a personal PC, home entertainment center, or media library for music, movies, and games.
