ASUS has introduced a new budget-friendly desktop PC aimed at casual users, students, and office environments. While it doesn’t carry the top of the line specs of a gaming rig, the ASUS V500 Mini Tower is a compact desktop PC that is both practical and reliable. ASUS previously announced the Mini Tower PC in the Indian market, but with slightly different specs. So here’s everything you need to know about the global version.
ASUS V500 Mini Tower PC: What does it offer?
ASUS managed to pack all of the hardware of this mini tower PC in just a 24 liter chassis, which measures 34.7 x 29.6 x 15.5 cm in dimensions. It can be configured with up to an Intel Core i7-13620H CPU, a laptop grade processor. This helps keep the thermals cool since mobile chips run on lower power. So the V500 Mini Tower PC can run a lot quieter compared to traditional desktop systems (38dB under load), while saving power consumption.
All of this is particularly useful in cramped spaces like offices, as they take up less space, generate less noise, and consume less power, which in turn reduces the heat the computer generates. The base model of the V500 Mini Tower isn’t particularly powerful, although, you can configure this compact desktop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. Unlike the processor, the RTX 4060 is a desktop grade graphics card via a PCIe 4.0 x8.
Other notable features include up to 64GB of RAM and 4TB of SSD storage, 180W power supply, DisplayPort, HDMI, 1xUSB-C, 6x-USB-A ports, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4. The ASUS V500 Mini Tower PC is listed for purchase with a starting price tag of 549.99 US Dollars for the i5-13420H variant with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. The i7 variant with more memory and storage costs a couple of hundred dollars more.
