Tuxedo Computers has just announced its Nano Pro Gen15, a new mini PC powered by Intel's Panther Lake Core Ultra X7 358H CPU and its capable Arc B390 iGPU. The mini PC is a workstation targeting developers and home lab enthusiasts who want to run "local, secure, sovereign" LLMs, but Tuxedo also fully acknowledges that it can be used as a no-fuss mini gaming PC, thanks to Intel's graphics integrated into the Linux kernel of the pre-installed TuxedoOS. Physically, the Nano Pro Gen15 measures in at just 110 × 117.5 × 49 mm, and it features a plastic chassis, although Tuxedo has maintained a repair-friendly design, with just four screws required to access the internals, where the upgradeable RAM, storage, and wireless cards are easily accessible.

Tuxedo supplies a 120 W external power supply that connects via a barrel adaptor, but it makes no claims about the actual maximum TDP of the Intel CPU inside. Connectivity on the Nano Pro Gen15 is reasonable, if not stellar, with Wi-Fi 7 and dual 2.5 GbE for networking, alongside Bluetooth 6 for peripheral connectivity. On the back of the mini PC, there is a DC-in power port, the aforementioned 2.5 GbE ports, 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, 2× HDMI ports with HDMI 2.1 support on Windows and 2.0b support on Linux (for now). On the front of the mini PC, there is a USB4 port, 1× USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port with DP 1.4a Alt Mode, and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port alongside a 3.5 mm audio combo jack. Tuxedo says that, between the USB Type-C ports and the dedicated HDMI ports, the Nano Pro Gen15 can support up to four simultaneous displays.

The ever-growing list of mini PCs powered by AMD's Gorgon Halo APUs has just received its latest addition in the TOPC TXA2, a new workstation built around AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 APU and its powerful Radeon 8065S iGPU. The TOPC TXA2 is available in two configurations, with either 2 TB of storage for $6,399 or 4 TB of storage for $6,699 on TOPC's online store—even though the price is high, it's still a solid $900 cheaper than AMD's in-house Ryzen AI Halo Developer platform.

The TXA2 also packs 192 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory, with up to 160 GB shared with the iGPU for workstation use. Despite the 180 ×180 × 78 mm, or ~2.5 L chassis, TOPC claims that the TXA2 is capable of a 120 W TDP. It's also no slouch in the I/O department, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless networking and connectivity, and it has a healthy port selection, to boot.

Minisforum launched an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070-powered AtomMan G7 Pro mini PC in January 2026, and the brand has just announced the latest iteration in the AtomMan line-up, the AtomMan G1 Pro-89A6, which is now available with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU with 16 GB of VRAM. The G1 Pro-89A6 is built on AMD's Ryzen 9 8945HX, a mobile CPU with 16 cores and 32 threads and a maximum boost clock of 5.4 GHz. Pricing on the RX 9060 XT mini PC starts at $1,759 during the launch promotion, with the MSRP jumping to $2,199 after that ends. The only configuration available has 32 GB of DDR5-5200 memory, which is upgradeable via SODIMM slots, and a 1 TB M.2 PCIe SSD.

The chassis of the new AtomMan G1 Pro-89A6 measures in at just 3.8 L, which is made all the more impressive by the 140 W TGP of its dGPU and its built-in 350 W PSU—which means no external power brick cluttering up whatever space the mini PC ends up in. The CPU and GPU are cooled by what appear to be two separate cooling solutions, with five copper heat pipes between them and each with its own exhaust vents. The CPU is cooled by a single-fan blower-style cooler, and the GPU is cooled by a triple-fan setup. The PSU also has its own compartmentalized cooling system. Although Minisforum hasn't specified what fans it's using, it claims to be using silent fans that spin at up to 3,600 RPM.

AAEON (Stock Code: 6579) today announced the release of the UP Xtreme PTL Edge Air, a Panther Lake-powered Mini PC featuring Frore Systems' AirJet solid-state active cooling technology.

With this innovative thermal management, the Mini PC replaces conventional fan-based cooling with ultrasonic-frequency membrane vibration technology to generate high-speed pulsating airflow to provide high-capacity heat dissipation without the added height that comes with a heatsink.

After showing off its Gorgon Halo mini workstations at IFA 2026, Acemagic has officially launched the F9A mini PC as an AI workstation powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ APU with its Radeon 8065S iGPU, for 131 TOPS of AI compute and up to 192 GB of unified memory. The Ryzen AI mini PC's all-metal chassis measures in at just 158.5 x 158.5 x 81.5 mm, or 2 L volume, and pricing starts at $6,499 for 192 GB of memory and a 2 TB SSD.

The mini PC features a modern ports selection, with front I/O consisting of dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a USB4 Type-C port, an SD card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio combo jack. The back of the mini PC, meanwhile, features another USB4 port, DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, dual 2.5 GbE, a USB 2.0 port, another USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, and an OCuLink port for eGPU expansion in the event that you need more power than the Radeon 8065S can put out. The 192 GB of LPDDR5X-8355 unified memory can be configured so that 160 GB is dedicated to video memory.

Combining vapor chamber cooling, vertical airflow and intelligent thermal management, V-Cooling improves thermal efficiency, sustained performance and acoustic performance in compact computers. Mini PC brand VZMORE has introduced its proprietary V-Cooling thermal architecture, bringing vapor chamber technology—commonly used in flagship smartphones, high-performance laptops and gaming consoles—to its Mini PC products. The system is designed to reduce heat buildup, performance loss and operating noise during sustained workloads.

Traditional Mini PCs often rely on single- or dual-heat-pipe cooling, which can concentrate heat around the processor and limit sustained performance. V-Cooling uses a large vapor chamber to spread heat rapidly and evenly across the cooling area. Compared with conventional dual-heat-pipe solutions, it increases heat-spreading area by approximately 40% and thermal conductivity efficiency by approximately 50%, helping reduce localized hot spots and support more stable processor performance.

The latest mini PC maker to get in on the high-powered mini PC trend is FEVM, who, to its credit, previously launched a mini PC powered by AMD's impressive Strix Halo platform, with the new FA80G packing up to both an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile into a mere 2.6 L chassis, while the FN80G swaps out the AMD Ryzen CPU for up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 270KP. What's more, the mini PC maker says that the cooling solutions in the FN80G and FA80G are capable of keeping both versions at below 85 °C on the CPU and 80 °C on the GPU while generating less than 42 dB of noise.

The new FEVM mini PCs, which measure 180 × 168 × 88 mm, both start with NVIDIA's RTX 5060 GPUs, with other configs including the desktop RTX 5060 Ti and 5080 Laptop GPUs. In the 5090 Mobile variants, the GPU is limited to 150 W, with combined CPU and GPU power topping out at 250 W. Both models ship as barebones unit, meaning buyers will need to bring their own RAM and SSDs, but the rest of the mini PC is also nothing to scoff at.

Geekom, a leading global Mini PC brand, is redefining the productivity Mini PC with the launch of the A5 2027 Edition. Designed for all-day productivity, the new A5 combines dependable performance, long-term reliability and flexible expansion in a compact form.

Powered by the 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 7730U, the A5 2027 Edition is built for real-world productivity—from running 30+ browser tabs alongside video meetings and large spreadsheets to Photoshop, 2D design and light 4K editing.

At IFA 2026 in Berlin, Germany, ASUS introduced mini PCs and laptops powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark SoC. Starting with the GR1X mini, ASUS showcased the power of the RTX Spark N1X in grey or black aluminium enclosures. These are available with up to a 6,144-core GeForce RTX "Blackwell" GPU, alongside up to 20 cores on the NVIDIA "Grace" CPU, delivering a total of 1 PetaFLOPS of FP4 compute power. The entire package can be configured with up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory, all running on the Windows 11 desktop operating system. However, ASUS will also offer less powerful configurations, such as the second N1X configuration with a slightly less powerful 18-core "Grace" CPU, a "Blackwell" GPU with 5,120 CUDA cores, and 24-32 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory. The system is cooled by a custom copper heatsink paired with two blower fans, each with 109 blades.

Acemagic is showcasing its latest computing products at IFA 2026 from September 4 to 8, located at Booth 128, Hall 6.2, Messe Berlin. The highlight of the showcase is the F9A AI mini workstation, powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor. With this launch, Acemagic becomes one of the first manufacturers globally to adopt this new platform, presenting a compact workstation designed for local AI applications and high-memory computing tasks.

The F9A PRO 495 packs the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor, high-capacity unified memory, integrated Radeon graphics, and AI acceleration capabilities into a compact chassis of approximately 2 liters (measuring 158.5 x 158.5 x 81.5 mm). This offers users with limited desk space, who also require higher computing power and memory, an alternative to traditional small-form-factor PCs.Update Sep 4th: Added hands-on photos of the Acemagic F9A mini workstation from the IFA 2026 show.

AMD's update to the Strix Halo Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is the Gorgon Halo Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495, which launched with 16 Zen 5 cores, a total of 32 threads, and AMD's Radeon 8065S iGPU. So far, Framework has been the biggest OEM to tease the new Halo APU, but it seems as though GMKtec will soon launch a new Gorgon Halo mini PC in the Evo-X5 Pro.

GMKtec's official X account teased the new mini PC, which the brand says will launch at IFA Berlin 2026, on September 5. Aside from this, not much is known about the mini PC itself, however, the GMKtec Evo-X3 launched not too long ago, stacked to the gills with pro-tier ports, a beefy cooling solution with a 140 W peak TDP, and triple cooling fans. If the Evo-X5 doesn't stray too far from its predecessor, we can expect an OCuLink port, HDMI 2.1, at least one USB4 port, and 2.5 G LAN—or faster—packed into an aluminium chassis. We can also expect to see the price of the mini PC climb to the $4,000-range, especially for the top-end variant with 192 GB of RAM.

In early August, the Piston V appeared online, shrouded in mystery, but ran the gauntlet in a video by ETA Prime. Now, the Piston V has officially launched on Kickstarter at a surprisingly early bird price. The Kickstarter campaign also fully reveals the mini PC's specs and bundled accessories. The Piston V launched on Kickstarter with a super early bird price of $559, and, at the time of writing, is available starting at $590. However, the post-Kickstarter MSRP is expected to be around $799. The creators of the mini PC and its crowdfunding campaign tout the device as a hybrid mini PC and game console "in a gadget form factor," with the Bazzite/Windows dual-boot and a 4-inch touchscreen on the front adding to the HTPC experience.

As was shown in the pre-launch hands-video, the mini PC will feature the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 APU with its built-in AMD Radeon 880M iGPU, which should deliver reasonable performance for most non-AAA games. All models available in the Kickstarter come with 16 GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 500 GB PCIe Gen 4×4 M.2 SSD, but the specs are upgradeable 24, 32, 48, or 64 GB of memory and up to 4 TB of SSD storage. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the original hands-on was the presence of an OCuLink port for eGPU support.

VZMORE, a German-owned Mini PC brand focused on high-performance and quiet desktop computing, will make its public debut at ShowStoppers @ IFA 2026 in Berlin. The company will showcase four flagship products—the AX9 Max, iX9 Max, iX9 Ultra and AX9 Ultra—designed for professional productivity, content creation, local AI, graphics-intensive workloads and gaming.

Built on the AMD platform, the AX9 Max features an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor, Radeon 890M graphics and a dedicated Ryzen AI NPU delivering up to 55 TOPS.

Minisforum is apparently continuing its ongoing attempt to flood the mini PC market with as many models as possible, with the M2 Pro being the latest entry into its Intel Panther Lake-powered mini PC line-up. The Minisforum M2 Pro packs Intel's latest Core Ultra X7 358H, with its powerful Arc B390 iGPU in tow, into an aluminium chassis measuring just 195 × 195 × 47.5 mm, or 1.8 L. Minisforum claims that the Intel Core X7 Ultra CPU inside the M2 Pro can sustain TDP of up to 65 W thanks to a dual heat pipe cooling solution and a flow-through cooling design.

Minisforum seems to also be positioning the M2 Pro as something of a do-it-all machine, since it features built-in HDMI CEC, making it a solid, if somewhat expensive HTPC and living room console. The Minisforum M2 Pro also packs a 134.9 W PSU into the tiny chassis, meaning there is no need to hide a power brick behind a TV console or on a desk. The M2 Pro only comes in one variant, with the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, 32 GB of LPDDR5X-7467 memory, and a 1 TB NVMe SSD, all for an MSRP of $1,799, with a launch discount bringing that down to $1,439. At that price, it's certainly not cheap, but it also has an impressive specs and features list to back up that price, including upgradeable and expandable storage and triple USB4 ports.

ACEMAGIC, a leading brand in high-performance mini PCs, has introduced the ACEMAGIC F2A, a next-generation AI Mini PC designed to bring powerful AI computing, high-performance graphics, and desktop-class connectivity into an ultra-compact form factor.

AI Performance Designed for the Next Generation of Computing
The Intel configuration of the ACEMAGIC F2A features the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, based on Intel's Panther Lake platform. It combines 16 cores and 16 threads with an Intel AI Boost NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS, while its integrated Intel Arc B390 Graphics provides up to 122 TOPS of AI compute performance. Combined CPU, GPU, and NPU processing enables the system to reach up to 180 TOPS of total AI performance.

It was previously reported that Geekom was shipping malware in the drivers for its A7, A8, AE7, AX7 Pro, and AX8 Pro mini PCs. The drivers were initially flagged by Windows Security as a trojan that could "execute commands from an attacker," and reports on Reddit were verified by services like VirusTotal, FileScan, and MetaDefender.

Since those initial reports, however, Geekom has responded to the driver malware infection, explaining in an official statement to VideoCardz that the affected legacy LAN driver page, which was not linked in the main product page but was still publicly accessible and indexed on search engines, has since been removed entirely. The brand said in the statement that "the issue traces back to an outdated resource that we failed to remove from our older pages in time, and we are sorry for the concern and inconvenience it has caused our users and the wider community," adding that it has confirmed that the driver is confined to the now-removed legacy drivers.

It seems as though mini PCs have never been more popular, with brands like Minisforum and Geekom releasing new models at an almost alarming rate. A new video by ETA Prime on YouTube, however, has shown off something different: an unbranded, mystery Mini-PC that only goes by the Piston V and dual-boots Bazzite and Windows right out of the box. Given that it runs Bazzite, it can boot right into a SteamOS-like view, revealing its intentions as a HTPC or living-room gaming PC.

The Piston V features a 10-core, 20-thread AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 CPU with an RDNA 3.5 AMD Radeon 880M iGPU (not the claimed RDNA 3 890M), 32 GB of DDR5-5600 memory, and a 1 TB M.2 SSD. While solid, the internals are the least interesting part of the new Mini-PC—in keeping with its apparent living-room gaming PC vibe, the Piston V also packs a circular built-in display on the front, which can be used to display static images, system stats, media UIs, and basically anything else you may need immediate access to while you're gaming or using your PC. On Linux, the mini PC already has a built-in performance monitor, which is a nice level of polish for what appears to be a niche OEM.

Lenovo has officially unveiled the ThinkCentre Neo50q Gen 7, a desktop that it calls a "Tiny PC." The ThinkCentre 50q is being marketed as a versatile SFF desktop PC based on the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs, for use in anything from personal AI to business and home use, with multitasking productivity in mind. The ThinkCentre Neo 50q is not available just yet, but it is listed as "available soon" on Lenovo's online store.

The ThinkCentre Neo 50q fits an Intel Core Ultra 7 350 CPU into an aluminium chassis that measures just 36.5 × 179 × 182.9 mm, or 1.2 L in volume. It comes with up to 32 GB of upgradeable DDR5-5600 SODIMM memory, and up to a 2 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD. The ThinkCentre 50q Gen 7 comes with built-in Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for connectivity, but it's also no slouch when it comes to physical ports, especially given its diminutive size.

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.

BOSGAME, a technology-based electronic product brand, today announced the upcoming launch of the E6 ECO, the newest addition to its Ecolite Series of Mini PCs. Scheduled for global release on August 15, 2026, the E6 ECO is designed to deliver reliable everyday computing, energy efficiency, and versatile connectivity in a compact form factor. Among its key highlights, the E6 ECO is one of the first Mini PCs to feature Intel's new Core 3 processor 304 based on the next-generation Wildcat Lake platform.

Built for home offices, students, families, remote workers, and small businesses, the E6 ECO combines responsive performance with low power consumption, making it well suited for productivity tasks, web browsing, media streaming, and daily computing needs. "The E6 ECO is proof that everyday computing doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Just fast, quiet, and ready for whatever the day brings," said James Cao, General Manager of BOSGAME.

Bosgame, a technology-based electronic product brand, has demonstrated distributed inference of the DeepSeek-V3.1 671B-parameter model on its AI MAX+ 395 7-Node Cluster. Built from seven Bosgame M5 AI Mini PCs connected through USB4 Direct Connection, the system presents a scalable approach to private AI deployment and local large language model (LLM) inference.

As AI models continue to expand in parameter size and complexity, a single AI PC may lack the memory and computing resources required for advanced workloads. While traditional AI servers can provide the necessary computing power, their high deployment costs and infrastructure complexity can limit adoption. Enterprises and developers are therefore exploring scale-out architectures that support larger models while providing greater flexibility than conventional AI server deployments.

Minisforum showed off a range of new hardware at Computex 2026 earlier this year, and one of the new products it announced there was the MS-03 workstation mini PC, a new small form factor workstation PC designed for productivity, NAS, and local AI workloads. The MS-03 is based on the Intel Panther Lake Core Ultra 9 386H, a 25 W (80 W max Turbo) mobile CPU with four P-Cores, eight E-Cores, and four LP E-Cores, and four Arc Xe3 cores, meaning it's not going to be an outstanding gaming, content creation, or rendering workstation.

One of the big draws for NAS and server use cases is undoubtedly going to be the ample storage options and networking. Not only does the MS-03 have three M.2 slots that support up to 8 TB per slot, it also includes an adaptor to support U.2 SSDs, for up to 15 TB of enterprise storage, and the full-size PCIe ×8 slot can be used for additional storage expansion. The MS-03's chassis is made of aluminium and features a slide-out motherboard tray for easy upgrades. Although the CPU is soldered, it uses DDR5-7200 SODIMMs. Minisforum says that it offers up to 128 GB of memory, but it's unclear if it will only sell as a barebones kit or as a pre-built PC as well.
