Chinese PC makers have begun selling a mini PC that looks a lot like a Mac Studio, but it’s even smaller than Apple’s little powerhouse. Meanwhile, it offers far more options for customization: the FN60G features an LGA1700 socket with support for 12th, 13th, and 14th-gen Intel Core processors and optional support for discrete graphics.

You can pick up a barebones SZBOX FN60G for about $650 from AliExpress if you want to bring your own memory, storage, operating system and MXM graphics card. Or if you’d prefer to buy a fully configured system, Topton is also selling fully configured systems for $965 and up, complete with CPU, graphics, memory, and storage.

Topton’s starting price is for a model with an Intel Core i5-12400F processor, AMD Radeon RX 6600M graphics with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, 32GB of DDR RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

You can also pay more for models with up to an Intel Core i9-14900KF processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB graphics, 64GB of RAM and 4TB of storage. The most powerful configuration costs more than $2,000, but there are plenty of configurations available in the $1100 to $2000 range.

The little computer has an aluminum body that measures measures 168 x 168 x 92mm (6.6″ x 6.6″ x 3.6″) and a motherboard with an Intel LGA1700 socket that supports 12th through 14th-gen Intel Core processors with up to a 100 watt TDP.

According to the product pages, the system features two SODIMM slots for DDR5 memory and two M.2 2280 slots for up to 8TB of total PCIe 4.0 solid state storage. And according to the official spec sheet, the system supports one of four different discrete GPUs:

  • NVIDIA RTX 4060 (8GB)
  • AMD Radeon RX 6600M (8GB)
  • Intel Arc A380 (4G)
  • AMD Radeon RX 550 (4GB)

So far only the RTX 4060 and Radeon RX 6600M GPU options appear to be available for purchase. But since the computer uses an MXM graphics card, it’s possible that you may be able to bring your own GPU.

The computer features a cooling system with a fan and 8 heat pipes (four for the CPU and 4 for a GPU), over 4000 tiny holes in the chassis to allow for air intake and exhaust, a 2.5L interior volume, and a 330W power supply.

Ports include:

  • 2 x HDMI
  • 2 x DisplayPort
  • 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C (20 Gbps w/DisplayPort Alt Mode)
  • 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
  • 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
  • 2 x USB 2.0 Type0A
  • 2 x 2.5 GbE Ethernet
  • 1 x SD card reader
  • 1 x 3.5mm audio

Updates: As DB points out in the comments, the FN60G appears to be identical to the FEVB FN60G that launched in China in December, 2023 with prices starting at 2,599 CNY(about $366) for a barebones model or 2,999 CNY ($422) for versions with discrete graphics.

An earlier version of this article stated that the discrete GPU was soldered to the mainboard and therefore not user-configurable, but that is not the case. Thank you Dan for bringing this to our attention. You can get a look at the MXM GPU card and other internal components of the FN60G in a post by mentalsojin2 at the Small Form Factor PC subreddit.

    1. Looks like you’re right! This was unclear at the time the article was first published, but now that some folks have gotten their hands on the computer and shared some pictures of it’s insides, it seems like the GPU is user-replaceable. I’ve updated the article to reflect that.

    1. Yep, probably coming off the exact same assembly line too – they only change the brand name and model.

      In fact, the second picture shows the FEVM logo on top.

  4. The 4000 cooling holes boast is funny. Heck, if they drilled even smaller holes, they could upgrade this to a massive 5000 holes! LOOL 😂

  6. Looks like the graphics card is a proprietary form factor that you can only get when you buy the computer. The idea that you can put your own in might be a translation error.
