Size matters

The Mini IT12 is designed with a plastic casing that contains metal reinforcements underneath the surface, mirroring the structure of Intel NUC devices, and contributing to its stability. The case lid is aesthetically pleasing, potentially surpassing similar models in the Intel series. Access to the Mini IT12 requires unscrewing the bottom plate using the four Philips head screws. A small screwdriver can perform this operation, with caution advised to prevent damage to the longer ribbon connector. The backplate includes an SSD sled and holds the screws in place to prevent loss.

Equipped with 16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM and a 512 GB PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD, the Mini IT12 allows for easy upgradeability. The device houses an M.2 2280 slot along with an additional M.2 2242 SATA SSD slot. The maintenance procedure necessitates the removal of four cross-head screws on the underside.

Numerous port options are located at the rear of the Mini IT12, including a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, USB 2.0, two USB4 with 40 Gbps data transfer, and 8K display support at 60 Hz. It also includes two HDMI 2.0 ports for dual display setup and an RJ45 LAN port with a 2.5 Gbps transfer rate.

The Mini IT12's size advantages reveal in the abundant ports distributed mainly at the front and back. The device includes an SD card reader on the left side and a Kensington lock on the right side. Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and a 3.5 mm audio jack are placed at the front. The device is also compatible with Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E, offering robust and speedy connectivity. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.

The Mini IT12's interior provides convenient management of SODIMMs and the included Kingston 512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. The device allows easy SSD replacement and offers the option for an additional NVMe SSD, provided it doesn't exceed 42mm in length. The backplate must be attached in a particular orientation for a secure NVMe and heat spreader connection.
