ASRock, in partnership with Topfeel, has recently introduced six new product lines of mini-PCs targeting different market segments. The lineup includes the DeskMix, DeskMff, DeskNAS, DeskMic, DeskAIO, and DeskMax series.
The DeskMix and DeskMax series are aimed at workstation users, while the DeskMic and DeskMff are designed for mainstream consumers. The DeskAIO targets the HCI (human-computer interaction) crowd, and the DeskNAS focuses on network-attached storage enthusiasts.
The mini-PCs are available with both Intel and AMD processors and come in base configurations and barebones presentations, allowing consumers to customize the devices according to their specific requirements.
