The Asus ExpertCenter PN42 is smaller than a conventional desktop and about the size of a mobile phone. The compact size of the PN42 saves workspace, which can be particularly useful in smaller work environments or areas with limited space. The compact size of the mini-PC makes it perfect for transport, which can be helpful if you need to switch between different workstations.
