ORICO, usually known for its storage and connectivity solutions, is officially entering the PC market with its first laptop design, the Obook 15 AI Laptop. For this initial design, the company has chosen AMD's Ryzen 7 6800H SoC, an eight-core, 16-thread mobile processor that can boost up to 4.7 GHz. The integrated Radeon 680M graphics handle visuals, and memory configurations include options of 12 GB or 24 GB running at 6,400 MT/s. Buyers can select up to a 1 TB NVMe SSD, and a second M.2 slot allows for storage expansion up to 4 TB. While not running the latest SoCs from AMD, the system wants to be a competitive solution price-wise. Obook 15 runs on Windows 11 out of the box and features a cooling system with selectable Eco, Normal, and Performance modes for fan profiles.

The Obook 15 boasts a 15.6-inch IPS display with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, an anti-glare finish, 170-degree viewing angles, and wide-frequency dimming. It includes Wi-Fi 6, a 54.29 Wh battery, and a bundled 100 W charger. Additional features include a 180-degree hinge, a physical webcam shutter, a full-size keyboard with a number pad, and a wide selection of ports. ORICO lists US prices starting at $689.99 for the version with 12 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. A 12 GB/512 GB version is priced at $749.99, while the top configuration with 24 GB of memory and 1 TB of storage costs $899.99. The Obook 15 is now available in the United States and the Philippines, targeting students, office users, and content creators with its attractive price points, especially for this day and age, amid memory and storage shortages.

Weighing only 1.4 kg and measuring just 16.65 mm thin, the laptop features a refined matte metal top cover that offers a premium look and feel while remaining easy to carry for users on the go.

GMKtec today announced the official launch of the NucBox K16, a high-performance mini PC designed for power users, creators, and enthusiasts seeking desktop-class performance in a compact form factor. Powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor and equipped with high-speed LPDDR5X memory, PCIe 4.0 storage, and an OCuLink expansion interface, the NucBox K16 delivers exceptional computing capability in a sleek CNC-machined aluminium chassis.

Powerful AMD Ryzen Performance
At the heart of the NucBox K16 is the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, built on the Zen 3+ architecture with 8 cores and 16 threads, boosting up to 4.75 GHz on a power-efficient 6 nm process. Paired with AMD Radeon 680M integrated graphics featuring 12 compute units running at up to 2200 MHz, the system is well-suited for productivity, content creation, light gaming, and multitasking workloads.

GMKtec has introduced the NucBox M7 Ultra compact Mini PC, the system is powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3+ processor built on TSMC's 6 nm process, paired with Radeon 680M graphics featuring 12 CUs running at 2200 MHz. The NucBox M7 Ultra supports up to 64 GB of DDR5-4800 memory and includes PCIe 4.0 M.2 storage with up to 16 TB of total expansion (2× M.2 2280). Display output options include HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0 and dual USB4 supporting up to 8K resolution across four screens. Connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports.

Front I/O includes two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a 3.5 mm combo jack, USB4, and an OCulink connector. The rear panel adds two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, DP, USB4, dual LAN, and a security lock slot. The system ships with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and also supports Linux distributions such as Ubuntu. The GMKtec NucBox M7 Ultra is available globally starting at $309.99 for the base model (no DDR, SSD or OS), with configurations up to 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD priced at $429.99. Early buyers before November 9 will receive a free USB Hub expansion dock.

Beelink has officially released the EQR7 mini PC, which was previously limited to China, for global markets, and it pitches the mini PC as a quiet workstation PC for office use, although it should be more than capable of some light gaming workloads, as well. The EQR7 is only available with 32 GB of soldered LPDDR5 RAM in dual channel and a 1 TB 2280 M.2 SSD, but it can be had from Beelink directly with an AMD Ryzen 7 7735U for $339 or AMD Ryzen 5 7535U for $329. It is also available on Amazon, albeit at a slightly higher price. While RAM is soldered, the EQR7 has dual 2280 M.2 slots for expandable storage. Those AMD APUs mean that the EQR7 is available with up to an AMD Radeon 680M, which is more than capable of casual gaming, even if it is showing its age.

Despite the small form factor, measuring in at just 126 mm × 126 mm and 44.2 mm tall, the Beelink EQR7 features decent connectivity, with dual gigabit Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. The physical ports include a front-mounted USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-A port, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and a 3.5 mm combo audio jack. On the rear, there are dual HDMI 2.0 ports, dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and a solitary USB 2.0 port, alongside the aforementioned Ethernet ports and an AC power input. That AC power input also conveniently connects directly to the wall, with no power adapter necessary. There are no USB4 ports, so gamers can forget about connecting an eGPU for additional performance, but the EQR7 isn't really marketed as a gaming mini PC, to begin with. Beelink says that the MCS2.0 cooling system and the "silent" internal fan allow the EQR7 to operate at 32 dB, but it's unclear whether that is under load or at idle, so this claim should be taken with a grain of salt.

There is hardly a scarcity of mini PCs available on the market. These pocket-friendly computers have an ever-expanding fan base, and now it appears that brands are pulling all sorts of tricks to make their offerings stand out from the rest. Chaatrey is a well-known player in the mini PC segment, and has announced the AMD-powered AN3P mini PC. The product does have quite an interesting feature, which we will get to later.

At its core, the AN3P mini PC is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS APU with eight Zen 3+ cores and sixteen threads. Despite having already blown out two birthday candles, the Ryzen 7 7735HS continues to be quite a performant chip in 2025, trading blows with the Intel Core 5 120U in synthetic benchmarks. In terms of memory and storage, the AN3P can be equipped with up to 32 GB of memory, and up to 1 TB of solid-state storage. Both the memory and storage are user-accessible and can be upgraded down the road, which surely is a must-have for many people.

GEEKOM, the Green Mini PC Global Leader, is going to release a new model named the A6 on January 17th, 2025. This mini PC is already available for pre-order on GEEKOM's official website. Priced at $449, it may just be the new best mini PC under $500.

According to the official information, the GEEKOM A6 mini PC employs a well-ventilated aluminium chassis which measures only 0.47 liter, but it packs enormous power under the hood, thanks to the perfect combination of a beefy processor, high-bandwidth DDR5 RAM, and a fast PCIe Gen 4 SSD.
