The latest entry is the MINISFORUM EliteMini UM700. It’s a 5″ x 5″ […]
Latest Chromium OS build for the GPD Pocket 1 and 2 brings hardware, software fixes for these mini-laptops
The GPD Pocket and Pocket 2 are tiny laptops small enough to fold up and slide into (some) pockets… thus the name. With 7 inch touchscreen displays and QWERTY keyboards, they’re about as small as you can get while still supporting touch-typing on a laptop. GPD ships the Pocket mini-laptops with Windows 10 software, but […]

Gigabyte BRIX mini PCs with AMD Ryzen 4000, Intel Tiger Lake chips coming soon (Updated)
Gigabyte’s BRIX line of computers are small form-factor desktops that have historically been powered by Intel processors… with a few exceptions over the years that have featured AMD chips under the hood. This year with the AMD and Intel duking it out in the power/performance/price race like never before, AMD seems to be hedging its bets. […]
AAEON introduces UP Xtreme i11 board with Intel Tiger Lake
The latest UP Board from AAEON is a mini computer mainboard that supports up to an Intel Core i7-1185G7E Tiger Lake processor with Intel Iris Xe graphics. I’m reluctant to call the UP Xtreme i11 a single board computer because not only does it lack built-in storage, but there are also dual SODIMM slots for […]
Pantera Pico PC is a 2.4 inch PC with more ports than most (crowdfunding)
There are a growing number of tiny desktop computers measuring about 2.4″ x 2.4″ x 1.6″. Most seem to be based on the same reference design as the Chuwi LarkBox, which was the first to launch, although there are some differences in processor and storage options. But the Pantera Pico PC from XDO is the […]
Meet some of the first mini PCs with Ryzen Embedded V2000 chips
This week AMD introduced its second-gen Ryzen Embedded processor lineup, promising up to a 2X performance boost over the previous-gen. While the new Ryzen Embedded V2000 chips aren’t nearly as fast as the company’s latest mainstream laptop and desktop processors, they’re designed for use in different types of computers – think thin clients, industrial and […]
The new Mac Mini with Apple M1 is a little cheaper, a lot faster
Apple’s Mac Mini desktop computers have had a rocky decade. The tiny desktop computers have had a bit of a cult following, but Apple went four years without updating the Mac Mini before releasing a new model in 2014. Now the company is giving the Mac Mini a refresh that’s at least as significant. The […]
Chuwi CoreBox Pro is a small PC with Intel Ice Lake
Chinese PC maker Chuwi plans to launch a small desktop computer next month with a 10th-gen Intel Core i3-1005G1 Ice Lake processor. The upcoming Chuwi CoreBox Pro has the same chassis as the company’s older HiGame computer, but a newer (and less powerful) processor. It goes up for sale in mid-October. Update: The Chuwi CoreBox Pro […]

Xiaomi is crowdfunding a 2.4 inch mini PC (that looks just like the other ones)
Xiaomi is the latest Chinese company to introduce a 2.4″ x 2.4″ x 1.7″ mini-desktop computer that’s small enough to carry in a pocket. The Xiaomi Youpin Ningmei Cube seems to be based on the same reference design as the Chuwi LarkBox, GMK NucBox, and similar devices like the XCY X51. Xiaomi’s version is up […]
