A new mini PC aims to catch some attention with powerful specifications in a compact footprint. The B21 is available for purchase in various configurations with different processors and dedicated graphics cards.
We have already reported on the Partaker B21, which is now available in updated configurations. Specifically, the mini PC can now also be ordered with 14th generation Intel processors, such as the Intel Core i7-14700F and Intel Core i9-14900F. Users can further choose between different graphics cards, as the compact computer is available with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4060 Ti or RTX 4060. Depending on the chosen model variant, 32 or 64 GB of DDR5 RAM are installed, while the SSD has between 1 and 4 TB of capacity.
The Partaker B21 measures 10.6 x 8.5 x 2.2 inches and can accommodate up to two 2.5-inch hard drives or SSDs in addition to the pre-installed M.2 2280 SSD. This allows for relatively inexpensive storage expansion. Numerous ports are available, including three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1, along with four USB 3.2 Type-A, two Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 and an optical audio output. WiFi 6E is supported for wireless network connectivity.
However, availability is still an issue at the time of writing. The Partaker B21 is listed on AliExpress for a price of around €1,300, but it can only be shipped to some select countries. As usual, customers should be aware that this direct import via Chinese marketplaces always has some risks, as warranty claims might be difficult to enforce due to the often non-existent customer service.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
