partaker B18 barebone mini PC Xeon E-2286M 16GB 256GB

Compact Xeon Workstation

The Partaker B18 is a ready-to-run mini PC built around an Intel Xeon E-2286M eight-core processor with sixteen threads. It ships with sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a two-hundred-fifty-six-gigabyte NVMe drive, plus Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. The one-hundred-watt power supply and smart silent fan fit inside a one-point-zero-five-kilogram chassis measuring one-hundred-thirty-four by one-hundred-forty-four by sixty-four millimetres.

Upgrade From Consumer Mini PCs

This system replaces entry-level mini PCs that use low-power mobile chips when workloads demand ECC memory support, hardware virtualization features and sustained forty-five-watt thermal performance. The jump is worth it for users who run multiple virtual machines, need Intel Optane caching or require Wake-on-LAN and PXE boot for managed deployments. Buyers who only need web browsing or media playback will not benefit from the workstation-class feature set.

Build Integration

Dual M.2 Key-M slots accept NVMe or SATA drives up to two terabytes each, and a two-point-five-inch bay adds another two terabytes of storage headroom. DisplayPort one-point-two and HDMI two-point-zero each drive four-K at sixty hertz for dual-monitor setups. Two Gigabit LAN ports, USB three-point-one Type-C, four USB three-point-zero and two USB two-point-zero ports handle peripherals and networking without a dock. VESA mount and Kensington lock slot secure the unit in offices, server rooms or digital-signage installations.
