partaker PA-3046 desktop PC Intel Core i5-8265U 8GB DDR4 256GB SSD Windows 10 Pro

Compact industrial desktop for 24/7 deployment

The Partaker PA-3046 is a fanless mini PC built around an onboard Intel Core i5-8265U quad-core processor with a base frequency of 1.6 GHz and a maximum turbo of 3.9 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SATA SSD, pre-loaded with Windows 10 Pro and ready for Windows 11. The aluminium chassis operates on a wide 9–36 V DC input via a Phoenix connector, making it suitable for vehicle, automation and medical installations.

Suits integrators who need legacy I/O

This unit provides four Intel 1000M LAN ports, two RS-232/422/485 COM ports, VGA and HDMI for dual independent displays, plus four USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports. The single DDR4 SODIMM slot supports up to 32 GB, and expansion is handled by one M.2 M-Key 2280 slot for SATA storage and one Mini PCIe slot with an embedded SIM slot for wireless modules. Buyers who require more than two serial ports, additional display outputs or a second storage drive should consider alternative platforms.

Single DDR4 SODIMM slot limits total memory to 32 GB

The board offers exactly one DDR4 2133/2400 SODIMM socket, so the maximum installable capacity is 32 GB. This constraint determines whether the system can handle memory-intensive workloads such as large local databases or multiple virtual machines. If the application demands more memory, this platform cannot meet the requirement.
