The PB64 accommodates up to three storage drives, including two PCIe Gen 4 SSDs, alongside DDR5-6400MHz memory for improved speed and responsiveness. It also supports up to four simultaneous displays through dual DisplayPort connectors, USB4 Type-C, and a configurable output that can be customized as DisplayPort, HDMI, or VGA.
The entire unit is quite small, measuring at just 175 x 175 x 44.2mm, making it fit seamlessly into offices, retail environments, and healthcare facilities. The system is available in black and white finishes and includes a modular optical drive, VESA mounting compatibility, and a bundled stand for flexible placement.

Wireless capabilities are powered by Intel WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, ensuring faster, more reliable connections. WiFi 7 supports up to 16 devices for smoother conferencing and data transfers, while Bluetooth 5.4 maintains stable peripheral connections. Security measures include a Kensington lock slot and an intrusion alert that notifies administrators if the chassis has been accessed.
Built to withstand demanding conditions, the PB64 meets US MIL-STD-810H military-grade standards, ensuring resilience against temperature, humidity, and vibration. Designed for 24/7 operation, it also integrates ASUS’s IT management tools to streamline system monitoring and reduce maintenance efforts.
