ASRock launches iBOX fanless mini PCs with Intel Panther Lake CPUs

ASRock is refreshing its iBOX fanless mini PC lineup with two models powered by Intel’s Panther Lake Core Ultra Series 300 processor. The case design is unchanged from the previous Core Ultra Series 200 models launched in early 2026 and features aluminium housing with heat dissipation fins on top and on the sides. It measures 20 x 17.6 x 5.36 cm (7.87 x 6.95 x 2.11 inches) and weighs 3 kg (6.6 lbs).

Processor options include the Core Ultra X7 385H model with 4P, 8E and 4 LPE cores, as well as a more affordable Core Ultra 5 325 with only 4P and 4LPE cores. The faster model supports up to 128 GB of DDR5-7200 RAM, while the slower one is limited to DDR5-6400. On the storage side, both versions support NVMe SSD via M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 X4 plus M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 slots.

Port selection is quite decked. The front panel features a Thunderbolt 4 connector with DP 2.1 output, 1x USB-A 3 10 Gbps, 1x USB-C 3 20 Gbps (DP 1.4a mode) and 2x USB 2.0, plus a combo audio jack (Realtek ALC256). Users can also choose a customizable older port like serial or VGA. Back panel comes with 2x additional USB-A 3 10 Gbps ports, 2x HDMI 2.1 video outs and 2x 2.5 Gbps NICs. Wireless connectivity is not offered by default, but users can add a Wi-Fi card on the M.2 2230 PCIe x1 expression slot.
