The new ASRock 4X4 BOX-5000 line of computers are compact desktops with support for up to 64GB of RAM, up to two storage devices, the ability to drive four displays, and support for up to an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U processor.
Measuring just about 4.6″ x 4.3″ x 1.9″, the little computer could easily mount to the back of a display for use as a general-purpose computer, or it could be used as a solution for digital signage, kiosks, or video conferencing, among other things.
The design appears to be nearly identical to the 4X4 BOX-4000 that launched a few years ago, as well as newer ASRock computers like the Intel-powered NUC 1100 BOXÂ and NUC 1200 BOX.
What’s different is that the BOX-5000 is available with a choice of AMD Ryzen 3 5400U, Ryzen 5 5600U, or Ryzen 7 5800U processors featuring Zen 3 CPU cores and Radeon Vega integrated graphics.
Other features include an M.2 2280 slot for PCIe x4 solid state storage, a 2.5 inch bay for a SATA 3 hard drive or SSD, two SODIMM slots for DDR4-3200 dual-channel memory, and a set of ports that includes:
- 1 x HDMI 2.0a
- 1 x DisplayPort 1.2a
- 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
- 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
- 2 x USB 2.0 Type-A
- 1 x 2.5 Gbps Ethernet
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
- 1 x 3.5mm audio
The computer has a wireless card that supports WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 and comes with a 19V/90W power adapter. Thanks to a TPM 2.0 module, the 4X4 BOX-5000 should support Windows 11, as well as Windows 10 or other operating systems.
They seldom show pix of the power supplies, but Amazon has a typical 19v 90 Watt laptop ps that is 7.3″ by 4.2″ and weighs nearly 1lb. My guess is the ps for this thing is larger than the pc itself.
