Compact 12th Gen i5 mini PC

This Intel NUC 12 Pro barebone arrives with a Core i5-1240P processor, 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory and a 512 GB NVMe SSD already installed. The 12-core hybrid CPU combines four performance cores reaching 4.4 GHz with eight efficient cores at 3.3 GHz. Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics drive up to 8K output through two HDMI 2.1 ports and a Mini DisplayPort. Windows 11 Pro is pre-loaded for immediate deployment.

Space-constrained offices and mobile professionals

The 35 W TDP and VESA mounting bracket suit wall-mounted signage, thin-client fleets or portable workstations that move between desks. Buyers who need discrete GPU performance, more than 64 GB of RAM or additional 2.5-inch drive bays should consider larger chassis designs. The single 2.5 GbE port and dual Thunderbolt 4 connections cover most modern peripheral chains without extra adapters.

512 GB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe boot drive

The primary M.2 2280 key-M slot hosts a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD that determines boot speed and application responsiveness. A second M.2 2242 key-B slot accepts a PCIe 3.0 x1 or SATA device for storage expansion. Confirm that your workload fits within the 512 GB capacity before ordering, as the installed drive is not user-swappable without re-imaging the OS.

Questions about this item

Does the i5-1240P mini PC need any extra parts before it will boot?

The barebone unit arrives without RAM, an NVMe SSD or an operating system; you must add DDR4-3200 SODIMMs up to 64 GB, a PCIe Gen 4 M.2 2280 drive and install Windows or Linux yourself.

Will my older USB 3.0 and HDMI 2.0 peripherals work with the Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1 ports?

Yes — Thunderbolt 4 ports accept USB 3.0 devices at their native speed, and the two HDMI 2.1 outputs drive legacy HDMI 2.0 monitors at 4K 60 Hz without adapters.

How can I confirm the dual-channel memory is active after I install two SODIMMs?

Open Task Manager → Performance → Memory and verify “Slots used: 2 of 2” and a speed of 3200 MHz; the BIOS also reports dual-channel mode on the main screen.
