The Asus ExpertCenter PN54 is a mini PC that measures 130 x 130 x 34mm (5.1″ x 5.1″ x 1.3″) and features support for up to an AMD Ryzen 7 350 "Krackan Point" processor.

First unveiled during CES in January, the ExpertCenter PN54 is now available for purchase for $589 and up from B&H and a few other retailers.

That starting price is for a barebones model with a Ryzen 5 340 chip, but you can also pay $110 more for a Ryzen 7 350 model that should deliver stronger CPU and graphics performance.

Ryzen AI 300 "Krackan Point" Cores / Threads Freq Cache GPU NPU TDP AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 8 (4 x Zen 5 + 4 x Zen 5c) / 16 Up to 5 GHz 24MB Radeon 860M (8 x RDNA 3.5 cores @ up to 3 GHz) 50 TOPS 15 – 54W AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 6 (3 Zen 5 + 3 Zen 5c) / 12 Up to 4.8 GHz 22MB Radeon 840M (4 x RDNA 3.5 cores @ up to 2.9 GHz) 50 TOPS 15 – 54W

Both versions feature two SODIMM slots for DDR5 memory, a nM.2 2280 slot for PCIe 4.0 x4 storage, a wireless card with support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and a set of ports that includes:

1 x USB4 Type-C (40 Gbps w/DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode and 100W USB Power Delivery)

1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbps)

3 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gbps)

1 x USB 2.0 Type-A (480 Mbps)

1 x HDMI 2.1

2 x DisplayPort 1.4

2 x 2.5 GbE Ethernet

1 x 3.mm audio combo

1 x DC power jack (120W 19V/6.32A power adapter included)

Asus includes helpful labels by each USB port, making it clear which support 40 Gbps or 10 Gbps speeds. The Ethernet ports are also labeled as "2.5G." While all other ports are marked, the labels aren't all quite so descriptive. I can't really blame the company for not wanting to mention how slow a USB 2.0 port is by 2025 standards, but it's not totally surprising to see the company include that port – it's a decent option for connecting a mouse, keyboard, game controller, printer, or other devices that don't necessarily need higher-speed connections.

Like a growing number of mini PCs with mobile chips powerful enough to qualify as Copilot+ PCs, the ExpertCenter PN54 has a dedicated Copilot button as well as a power button. Both are positioned on the front of the computer, and there's a fingerprint reader on top.

The mini PC also has a pair of stereo 2W speakers built in, along with a digital microphone, allowing for hands-free interactions with the computer, although these could also come in handy when making voice-only calls on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams, I suppose.
