Asus makes it easier to upgrade business desktops by offering the ExpertCenter PB64 mini PC with tool-less access and modular connectivity. Buyers who need flexible storage or extra memory can swap parts without opening a sealed chassis. This design reduces downtime for IT teams and lets users tailor the machine to specific workloads.

Tool-less chassis and modular I/O define its practical value for enterprise deployments

The system ships with Core Ultra 7 265 or Core Ultra 5 variants (245, 235, 225). We measure the chassis at 175 x 175 x 44.2 millimeters, which fits standard VESA mounts or desktop stands. The compact form factor allows placement in tight office spaces without sacrificing expandability.
