The Asus MKT02 is a mounting kit that attaches a mini PC to the back of a compatible Asus monitor, keeping the desk tidy and saving space. It is an accessory rather than a computer, so it has no processor, memory or storage of its own. If you are looking for a compact computer to pair with a monitor, the Thinvent Treo Mini PC line is a closer match, with a choice of Intel and AMD processors, up to 64 GB of RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage.
