MINISFORUM, a technology pioneer dedicated to high-performance AI Mini PCs development, proudly announces that its flagship Mini Workstation, the MS-02 Ultra, has been honored with a CES 2026 Innovation Awards in the Computer Hardware & Components category. This recognition celebrates MS-02 Ultra's breakthrough in combining enterprise-grade power, expandability, and intelligent design within a compact 4.8-liter form factor.

Multi-Engine Compute Core, Effortless Control
Powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX processor with 24 cores (8P + 16E) and a built-in 13 TOPS NPU, the system delivers the perfect balance of performance and intelligent efficiency. The CPU and NPU work in harmony to accelerate AI inference, media processing, and multitasking, ensuring smooth responsiveness even under heavy workloads. With support for PCIe GPU expansion, users can scale compute power for demanding creative, engineering, and AI applications - all within a compact and responsive desktop experience.Extreme Performance, Maximum Efficiency
Powered by a CPU with up to 140 W TDP - delivering twice the performance of the previous MS-01 - and support for GPUs up to 140 W, the MS-02 Ultra achieves a combined system TDP of 240 W for uncompromised computing power. The integrated 350 W power supply ensures efficient, stable performance under sustained workloads.

Scalable Power for Every Mission
Engineered for scalability, the system supports up to 256 GB of DDR5 ECC memory to ensure speed, stability, and data integrity under demanding workloads. With multiple PCIe slots and high-speed interfaces, users can flexibly expand GPUs, storage, and peripherals to create a customized compute platform. Dual 25GbE and multi-tier LAN (10 Gb + 2.5 Gb) deliver enterprise-grade bandwidth, complemented by Wi-Fi 7 for next-generation wireless speed.

ECC memory and Intel vPro Integration Leads to Constant Reliability
Built for uninterrupted reliability, the system integrates ECC memory and Intel vPro remote management for 24/7 secure operation. Its RAID 0/1/5/10 architecture offers both high throughput and redundancy for mission-critical tasks. Backed by Intel vPro remote management, it delivers secure control and continuous uptime for enterprise and industrial environments.

"Winning the CES Innovation Award is a milestone for MINISFORUM," said MINISFORUM Chairman Roy Jiang, "It validates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of Mini computing by merging workstation power, enterprise stability, and user-friendly design into a single, compact platform."

Designed for content creators, small businesses, engineers, and tech enthusiasts, the MS-02 Ultra exemplifies how compact systems can deliver uncompromised performance, expandability, and sustainability. With this award, MINISFORUM continues its journey to redefine desktop computing for the AI-driven and hybrid-work era.

MS-02 Ultra will be available for purchase on Nov. 20th. For more information about the MS-02 Ultra and MINISFORUM's full lineup of Mini PCs, visit store.minisforum.com/.
