Most systems are locked down and rigid. Our Byte Mk III is different. It’s small, powerful, and made for users who want control over their hardware. Whether it’s running as a home server, powering a media setup, or just handling everyday tasks on Linux, the Byte Mk III gets the job done without getting in the way.

The Byte stands out from most mini PCs by running coreboot and EDK II as open-source firmware with full UEFI compatibility. It comes with a 1-year warranty, allowing upgrades, repairs, or OS changes without affecting coverage. Firmware updates for the BIOS, embedded controller, and SSD are simple and fast, which keeps the byte secure and up to date with minimal effort.

With a compact design measuring just 13 cm, it fits neatly on a desk, behind a monitor, or in a travel bag.

Some of the key features are outlined below:

Intel N355, 8-core processor, up to 3.9GHz

Up to 32GB RAM (3200MHz) and up to 12TB storage

Built-in fan: configured to stay silent or stay cool

11 ports including 2.5GbE, full HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C

Compact footprint: just 127 x 127 x 43mm

VESA mountable - bracket included

Expandable storage with a second 2.5" SATA SSD

At the heart of the Byte is open-source firmware powered by coreboot and EDK II, giving you:

Secure Boot with measured boot flow

Lightning-fast startup (0.76s POST)

5 years of updates via the LVFS

Advanced firmware control with BIOS-like configuration

Each Byte comes with the Linux distribution of your choice, pre-installed and fully configured. Whether using Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Zorin, or a more specialised distro, the Byte is designed to provide reliable performance.

The Byte Mk III is more than just a mini PC, it is a compact, open, and high-performance platform, thoughtfully engineered to evolve with your needs. Order now.
