    I was over the moon until...

    I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure what to do with it, so I'm going to send it back to the service department and hope that the repair won't be too bad. I've been using it for a while now, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it again, but I'm sure I'll be able to. The first feedback from the Asus hotline is very worrying. Badly noted information, false email address, unsuitable instructions for restarting, .... In short, 3 calls instead of 1 and a lot of time wasted for nothing.

    perfect for me

    I've been using it for a long time now, but it's a good idea to keep it in mind. it's a good idea to keep it in mind. it's a good idea to keep it in mind.
    It's not for gaming... so I won't comment on that.
    I've added 2 ssds, the m2 500gb and a normal 500gb as well. for me 1tb is more than enough. added 16gb of ram (2x8).
    I've installed w10 without any problem (very fast).
    I'm planning to do a double boot with kubuntu.
    I've been using it for a while now, but it's not too bad.
    It's a good idea to have a little box.
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same device as the one I'm using now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the same device as the one I'm using now. I had doubts when I received it, because in the doc they explain how to install it. So I had doubts... but the wifi and bluetooth are there, when you open the box, the module is already installed... so nothing to add for that...

    Quick

    I needed a small machine to mount behind a TV, I had a ssd sata in stock and I always bought amd. My choice was this nuc. With 8gb of ram, it's more than enough for the usual tasks: surfing, music and video. I installed win10 pro without any problem. At boot, machine operational in 6 seconds. Very good.

    asus pn50 AMD

    Works perfectly well.
    easy installation of memory, hard drive and SSD.
    small box, maybe too small.

    I've installed Linux manjaro without any problem, all the hardware is recognized, even the graphics card works without any problem.
    I'm not sure if it's a 5.8 or 5.9 kernel.
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to install a kernel with a 5.4 or 5.6 kernel, but I'm sure it's a good idea to install the graphics driver. No need to touch the kernel.

    The fan is a bit noisy, but the box does not heat up too much if you don't play big games.
    the case of the mini pc is entirely plastic.

    Getting started

    Apparent quality of the product.
    However, I can't start the PN50
    I'm not getting any HDMI signal output on my Asus monitor.
    I think it's due to a lack of knowledge on my part, but I can't find out which one.
    I'm not sure which one it is, but I can't find it. If not, should I buy them? What is the reference?
    Sincerely

    Very good machine

    Incredible how barebones have evolved, no more Shuttle 15 years ago! This mini-pc has all the features of a big one in a very small footprint. It is super quiet and powerful enough to do office work without any problem. The integrated graphics card allows you to display 2k on a screen without any problems (not tested on more).
    However, if you're thinking of playing Cyberpunk on it, don't bother, it's not made for that!

    -I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use it on a computer, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use it on a computer. Mine came with a display port, which is what I wanted!

    Discreet mini PC

    the pluses :
    - cpu amd
    - well equipped with video output
    - silent
    - perfectly recognized under linux , 20.04 or 20.10 ubuntu for example
    - 2 memory slots, ssd nvme or sata, easy compatibility
    - sata 2.5 slot

    the - :
    -The 2.5" hard drive access is not that easy, to access it you have to unscrew the 4 screws on the bottom of the case and unbolt on one side, once the drive is in place, the sata port was hard to fit, we had to find the right angle. I had to find the right angle. So no, it's not a quick access to the hard drive, because to slide it back in I have to unplug everything.
    -I'm not sure if it's the same as the one I've been using for the past few years, but I'm sure it's the same as the one I've been using for the past few years.
    -I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the system again, but I'm not sure.

    I like this mini pc which replaced an aging nuc. sober, efficient for media, net. easy assembly, only regret the replacement and use of the data disk not so easy.

    Very good machine, good design, good value for money, good delivery.

    A small downside, which is not about the machine itself, but about the operation with Linux.
    It is not very easy (euphemism) to find and install the drivers for:
    - Wifi, Intel chip
    - Video AMD ATI Radeon

    Top optimization

    Ultra compact size, good connectivity, easy RAM/SSD accessibility.
    Mounted in a first configuration with 8GB of RAM and 250 M.2 SSD, boot in 8sec, no slowdown, manages 4k without any problem: double multimedia use on 4k TV screen + 2nd screen for office use.
    Nothing to complain about for the moment!

    some shortcomings

    I'm not sure why the SSD is limited to 1TB and especially the M2 SSD is limited to 512GB!!!??????
    Also, I don't understand why the SSD is limited to 1TB and especially the SSD M2 to 512GB!!!???
    Finally I wanted to use this computer in Linux: Lost, there are no graphics drivers for this processor
