ASRock Mars 4000U could be the world’s thinnest AMD Ryzen 4000 mini PC

We’ve already written about AMD Ryzen 7 4800 mini PC‘s such as ASROCK 4×4 BOX-4800, but if you’d like something slimmer with the processor, nothing beats the company’s Mars 4000U series mini PCs with a 26mm height.

Despite its slim body, the mini PC packs up a lot of processing power and features, with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 4800 processor, up to 64GB RAM, support for a 2.5-inch SATA drive and M.2 NVMe/SATA SSD, as well as HDMI and VGA video outputs and more.

The mini PC ships with a VESA mount and a stand to allow the device to be attached behind a monitor or vertically respectively. The company only mentions Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit operating system and browsing the product page only shows Windows 10 drivers and the BIOS, plus a user manual. So that means Linux support would have to be tested.

ASRock has not provided pricing and availability information. Additional information can be found on the product page where the company also mentions FP6D4-P1 motherboard with a wider choice of AMD Ryzen 4000U processors, but sadly no photos. I could still find an installation guide video that shows the motherboard, and how to install memory and storage to the mini PC.
