Akasa Announces Newton A50 Fanless NUC Case for ASUS PN50/PN51 Motherboards
Akasa, have released the latest model of their small form factor fanless cases, introducing the Newton A50! The newest Newton is ultra-compact, with dimensions of just 169 x 115.5 x 68.5 mm (1.3L). The case supports ASUS PN50 and PN51 motherboards, which are equipped with the latest Ryzen 4000 mobile processors and 5000 mobile processors (respectively) for the best performance in its size category.
The small but mighty design makes the case perfect for small areas, or minimalist desktop setups. The sleek, futuristic panels combined with this ultra-compact shape means the case can be used in a wide range of ways; either a discreet addition to a desk, for smaller desktop setups, or hidden away for a clean, truly silent aesthetic. To fully take advantage of the silence, the use of SSDs is essential for the noiseless experience - the cases have enough space for one M.2 SSD and one 2.5" SSD/HDD.
Akasa's Newton A50's shadowy brushed aluminium effect is minimalist and keeps a low profile, providing excellent cooling for the PN50/PN51 motherboards; these can be installed quickly and easily, and operational within half an hour. The case fully supports the wide array of ports on the compatible boards, making it easier than ever to stay connected. Additional accessories are also available for purchase; Akasa's pigtail cables (A-ATC01-GR) and antennae (A-ATN01-BK) are the perfect companions to boost the wireless connection of your PC.
AMD's Ryzen 5000 series of mobile processors make their way to the forefront of compact computing power; with the integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics, the set-up can be used for home, office, edge computing and light gaming applications. The boards can also support one 8K or four 4K displays, which allows the system to be used for digital signage and set-ups with multiple displays The Newton A50 is rated for up to a 25 W TDP, with a solid aluminium core contacting the major key hot zones on the AMD motherboard - specifically the APU on the processor chip, and the motherboard's VRMs.
Pricing & Availability
The Newton A50 is now available to purchase with a starting price of £88/€92.

However, this kind of defeats the advantage of the PN50/PN51 and puts the footprint in line with an mITX passive system.
