SKIKK Mini 5 Black

A complete workstation in just 14 by 13 centimetres

The SKIKK Mini 5 Black runs on an Intel Core 7 150U with 10 cores and a turbo boost of up to 5.4GHz. In practice, that means Outlook, Teams, your accounting software and Chrome with a hefty stack of tabs all open at once, without any waiting around. And all of that from a compact box measuring 140 x 130 x 43.9 mm and weighing just 0.7 kilos.

As standard, you get 16GB DDR5 memory at 5600MHz and a 1TB NVMe SSD on PCIe Gen 4. Windows 11 Home comes pre-installed and licensed. Unbox it, plug it in and get to work.

Business use: the office PC you never see

Thanks to the VESA 100 x 100 mm mount, you can simply attach the Mini 5 to the back of your monitor. The result is a clutter-free desk, which you'll quickly come to appreciate at a hot desk, a reception area or a meeting room. At 30 to 34 dB, it's barely audible, even when you're on a call in a quiet room. And with the Kensington lock, it stays securely in place in public spaces too.

For IT management, it features TPM 2.0 via Intel PTT, so BitLocker and the Windows 11 requirements are taken care of right away. Working with a domain or Intune? Then choose Windows 11 Pro when you order. You can also add Office Home & Business 2024 or Microsoft 365 Business Standard to your order, so every workstation is ready to go.

Connectivity: four displays and two network ports

This is where you notice that this mini PC is built for serious work. You can drive up to four displays via HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Put your spreadsheet on one screen, your ERP on the second, Teams on the third and your email on the fourth.

• 2x Thunderbolt 4 (front and rear), for docks, fast external storage and additional displays
• 4x USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gb/s) Type-A
• 1x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and 1x Gigabit Ethernet
• Wi-Fi 6E (Intel AX211) and Bluetooth 5.4
• 6-in-1 SD card reader and audio combo jack on the front

With two network ports, it also works perfectly as a small server, a firewall or a workstation connected to two networks at once. Many other brands only offer one LAN port at this size. Here you get two, one of which runs at 2.5 Gigabit.

Working from home, studying and creative work

Working hybrid? Set up the Mini 5 at home as your permanent workstation, with a single Thunderbolt cable to your dock. Students get a quiet, energy-efficient PC that fits even on a small desk in a dorm room. Editing photos and putting together videos from your phone runs smoothly on the Intel Graphics, and the SD card reader is conveniently located on the front.

Upgradeable and future-proof

Small doesn't mean limited here. The Mini 5 has two DDR5 slots supporting up to 128GB and two M.2 2280 slots on PCIe 4.0. When ordering, you can choose 32, 48 or 64GB per module and Samsung 9100 PRO SSDs of up to 8TB per slot. Prefer Linux? Ubuntu, Zorin OS, Elementary OS and Nobara are all available in the configurator. Want to keep your processor even cooler? Opt for Noctua or Thermal Grizzly thermal paste.

Who is the Mini 5 Black for?

Are you a small or medium-sized business looking to equip several workstations at once? Or a freelancer searching for a quiet office PC with plenty of screen space? Need a compact mini PC for reception or a hot desk, or an energy-efficient home server with dual LAN? Then the Mini 5 Black is an excellent choice. SKIKK builds it to order, with service from Kampen in the Netherlands.
