Khadas recently unveiled its Mind Pro mini PC, powered by Intel's Panther Lake CPUs, alongside its modular eGPU solution, which is powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, but the brand has recently announced that the ongoing hardware shortages caused by the AI boom have resulted in the brand needing to hike prices for the entire series and delay or potentially cancel some versions of the mini PC altogether. In a recent statement regarding the pricing of the Khadas Mind Pro Pricing, Khadas references the ongoing PC hardware availability issues and says that, while it will be increasing prices for the Mind Pro, it has "chosen to keep this price adjustment as minimal as possible" by absorbing part of the price increase.

It goes on to explain that the Khadas Mind Pro with the Intel Core Ultra X7 and 64 GB of memory will see a $300 price increase, from the pre-order price of $1,999 to a new MSRP of $2,299. Additionally, the brand has had to delay the launch of the Intel Core Ultra X9 version of the mini PC with 96 GB RAM and the Core Ultra X7 model with 32 GB of memory. It cites a disproportionate increase in memory costs for the 96 GB DDR5-9600 modules used in the high-end version as the reason for the delay in the high-end model. The brand didn't exactly explain why the Mind Pro X7 with 32 GB of memory was delayed, but it did explain that the Core Ultra X7 version that remains available is the best balance between price and performance. It might also be the version that is most likely to sell the most units and where Khadas can generate enough profit to cover some of the increased memory costs. Until the pre-order period is over, the Mind Pro mini PC with the Core Ultra X7 will carry the same $500 discount from the new MSRP, coming in at $1,799 ahead of the March 27 pre-order closure.

Update Jul 30th: The Core Ultra X7-based Khadas Mind mini PC has received yet another price increase, this time bringing the price up by $300 to $2,599. At the time of writing, the only model available is the Core Ultra X7 358H version with 64 GB of memory and 2 TB of SSD storage.

Amid the flurry of CES 2026 news, Khadas, a popular mini PC maker, announced a series of updates coming to its Mind product line. Most exciting of the lot of updates is the new Intel Panther Lake-powered Khadas Mind Pro mini PC and the new Mind Graphics 2 eGPU dock. The Mind Pro Mini-PC, which is slated to launch gradually in Q1 2026, is a Mini-PC with Intel's new Panther Lake Core Ultra X7 358H or Core Ultra X9 388H CPUs and all the juicy new Intel Arc graphics that come with that. Khadas describes the Mind Pro as a modular design, suggesting that the new Mini-PC could be somewhat easily upgraded. The Mind Pro's chassis is said to come in at just 0.46 liters, and the Intel Arc graphics inside the Panther Lake CPU should deliver entry-level dGPU performance. It will also be available with up to 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 2 TB of NVMe storage. Given that it's an Intel system, the Mind Pro will also have dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, which have four PCIe 4.0 lanes for connectivity. The Mind Pro is not yet available, and pricing has not yet been confirmed.

One of the coveted use cases for Thunderbolt 4 ports on a Mini-PC is the ability to connect an eGPU for additional performance. Khadas itself provides one such eGPU, the Mind Graphics dock, which has now been updated to the Mind Graphics 2, receiving an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB upgrade in the process. The Mind Graphics 2 and the Mind Pro mini PC feature what Khadas calls the Mind Link, which enables PCIe 4.0 x8 support for improved performance when docked. The Mind Pro also sits neatly atop the Mind Graphics 2, in a dedicated recess in the chassis, when docked to the Mind Graphics 2. The Mind Graphics 2 dock is already available for $1,349. For users looking for an on-the-go solution, Khadas has also announced the xPlay portable monitor, which features a 2.8 K, 3:2 display and a 47.94 Wh battery, which Khadas says is capable of powering itself and Khadas's Mini-PCs—that said, battery life will likely be limited due to the size. The xPlay monitor also connects to the Mind mini PCs with the Mind Link port, which should make it a lot neater to carry around than a regular USB-C monitor, although it also operates over USB-C. The Mind xPlay portable display is available for $99 from Khadas.

Khadas is a relatively well-known name in realm of mini PCs, offering quite a unique approach. Unlike other mini PCs which rely on eGPUs and docks for expansion, the Khadas utilizes a base compute unit, aptly named the "Mind", which can dock with expansion units and eGPUs utilizing the 'Mind Link' interface, offering up to eight PCIe 5.0 lanes - or, in other words, a maximum bandwidth of 256 GT/s. That said, the Mind 2s was announced at CES, and is now available for purchase at a hefty price of $1,599. There exists only a single variant for now, and it is unclear as of this writing whether higher- and lower-tier variants will ever see the light of day.

That said, the Mind 2s is no slouch - the system packs the decently performant Core Ultra 7 255H Arrow Lake-H CPU paired with 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory. Clearly, the memory is not upgradeable, although the storage very much is, courtesy of the M.2 2230 slot. The ports on the Mind 2s 'brain' are far from plenty for a desktop system, featuring a single Thunderbolt 4, USB4, HDMI 2.1, and dual USB 3.2 ports. As mentioned previously, the system can be expanded using the Mind Link interface. For instance, the Khadas Mind Dock offers a plethora of additional I/O, and the Khadas Mind Graphics eGPU offers a massive boost to graphics performance. Another module, dubbed the Mind xPlay is also in the works, which will function as a portable external display for the Mind unit. The Mind 2s also features a 5.55 Wh built-in battery, allowing the system to go to sleep instead of completely dying on its user in the case of a power cut.

At CES 2025, Khadas captivated global audiences with groundbreaking product designs and innovative technologies, showcasing the immense potential of next-generation computing devices. As a technology brand dedicated to addressing diverse user needs, Khadas delivered an impressive display of cutting-edge solutions that seamlessly blend innovation with practicality.
