Small computers.
Serious power.
A tower's performance in something that hides behind your monitor. Ryzen and Intel mini PCs built for work, home labs, and living rooms — from $149.
Built to be picked
Every model is bench-tested before it ships.
TechUp Nano N100
Palm-sized desktop that sips 6 watts and never spins a loud fan.
TechUp Core 5
Six Zen cores in a lunchbox. The everyday workhorse.
TechUp Core 7 Pro
32GB and eight cores. Compiles, renders, and still fits in a backpack.
TechUp Vision Ultra
Built-in NPU for on-device AI. Runs local models without a GPU tower.
TechUp Apex 9
Ryzen 9 flagship. Desktop performance with a 1.5-litre footprint.
A tower takes up a desk.
This takes up a coaster.
Modern mobile silicon closed the gap. An eight-core Ryzen in a 1.2-litre chassis now handles the work a 30-litre tower did three years ago — at a fraction of the power draw and none of the noise.
- 90% less volume. 1.2 litres against a 30-litre mid-tower.
- Up to 80% less power. 11W at idle instead of 60W or more.
- Genuinely quiet. Under 28dB under load. You stop noticing it.
- Still upgradable. SO-DIMM slots and M.2 bays, not soldered dead ends.
What buyers say
“Replaced a full tower running my Plex server and three VMs. It sits behind the TV and I genuinely cannot hear it.”
“Bought six Nanos for our reception kiosks. Set one up, cloned the drive, done in an afternoon. Zero failures in eight months.”
“The Apex 9 compiles our Rust workspace faster than the laptop it replaced, and it does it without sounding like a hairdryer.”
