Value Ultra 5 Small Business PC

Intel Core Ultra 5 Business Computer – Built in the UK

The Value Ultra 5 Small Business PC is a value Intel Core Ultra 5 business computer for small offices, home businesses and everyday office work.

This Intel Core Ultra 5 business computer gives a small business, home office or reception desk the essentials and leaves out the extras many buyers never use. It is built around the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 processor on an MSI PRO H810M-B Micro-ATX motherboard, with DDR5 memory, an NVMe system drive and wired 2.5GbE networking. There is no optical drive and no built-in Wi-Fi, which keeps the specification focused on the job. If you need either, you can choose them in the configurator. Because the PC is built to order, you can change parts to match your own requirements.

The Value Ultra 5 Small Business PC is built on an Intel Core Ultra 5 225 processor with 10 cores and 10 threads and integrated Intel graphics. It has 8GB of DDR5 5600MHz memory and a 256GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD. It runs Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit (genuine, pre-installed) and is covered by a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Intel Core Ultra 5 225 processor

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 has 10 cores, made up of 6 performance cores and 4 efficient cores, and 10 threads. The performance cores run at a 3.3GHz base clock and reach a maximum turbo of 4.9GHz. The processor has 20MB of L3 cache and fits the LGA1851 socket on the MSI PRO H810M-B board, which uses the Intel H810 chipset. This is plenty for the work most offices actually do, such as email, web applications, documents, spreadsheets, accounts packages and video calls, with several windows open at once. The processor includes integrated graphics, so no separate graphics card is needed. It is cooled by the Intel standard CPU air cooler.

DDR5 memory and NVMe storage

The default build has one 8GB DDR5 5600MHz memory module, which suits office software and browser-based tools. The motherboard has two DIMM slots, one of them free, and supports up to 128GB in total. That leaves a clear route to more memory if your workload grows, or you can raise the memory in the configurator before you order.

The system drive is a 256GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD rated at 3000MB/s read and 1300MB/s write. It holds Windows and your applications and gives quick start-up and fast application launches compared with a traditional hard drive. The single M.2 slot is used by this drive. The board also has four SATA 6Gb/s ports, none in use, and the case has mounts for one 3.5in and two 2.5in drives. That gives you room to add a larger data drive for documents and backups.

Integrated graphics for office displays

Graphics come from the processor, which keeps the build simple and well suited to office use. The motherboard provides one DisplayPort 1.4 output and one HDMI 2.1 output, so you can connect two monitors for a spreadsheet on one screen and email or a video call on the other. This PC is designed for office and home business use. It is not intended for 3D, video editing or other graphics-heavy work.

Contour LP-2001 mini tower case and cooling

The PC is housed in the black Contour LP-2001 mini tower. It has a solid steel body and measures 365mm deep, 170mm wide and 345mm high, so it fits under most desks or on a shelf. Cooling is handled by the Intel standard air cooler on the processor and a pre-installed 80mm rear fan. Power comes from a Contour 300W ATX power supply. It is a straightforward, practical chassis with front ports within easy reach.

Wired networking, USB and audio

The Realtek 2.5GbE LAN port gives a fast, stable wired connection for shared files, cloud services and video calls. Wi-Fi is not built in, and the PC works over a wired network only unless you add wireless in the configurator. At the rear there are 2 USB Type-A 5Gbps ports and 4 USB 2.0 ports. The front panel has 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, a headphone jack and a microphone jack for headsets. Audio is High Definition 7.1 from the Realtek ALC897 codec.
