This mini PC has two 10Gb Ethernet LAN ports, a fingerprint reader, and can even connect to an external GPU – so remind me again why we need a full desktop PC?

Lenovo’s unknown Lecoo brand launches exciting mini PC which begs only one question to mind — when will it sell these outside of China?

One of the most ambitious Chinese mini PC vendors has paired a Ryzen 9800X3D CPU with a Pro RTX 5000 Ada MXM GPU – and the results are mindblowing

No, Dell didn’t launch an Alienware mini PC – but this Ryzen AI Max+ 395-powered PC looks a lot like one and it can even read SD 4.0 cards

This is probably the fastest PC under $1000 right now – Geekom A9 Max can drive four 8K monitors, runs an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX370 APU and has Windows 11 Pro

This is probably the most powerful ultraportable money can buy – 999g laptop has Core Ultra 9 285H CPU, OLED display and I’d be surprised if it sells for more than $1000

Would you buy a 500g laptop with a 7-inch display? $500 GPD MicroPC 2 netbook will appeal to makers and geeks, but I fear the rest of us won’t see the appeal

Powerful memory, fast storage, and versatile connectivity
This mini PC supports up to 96GB of dual-channel DDR5 RAM and offers storage via two M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD slots.

Connectivity options include HDMI 2.1, USB4, multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, RJ45 Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and an SD card reader.
The chassis features an ultra-slim design with a mode toggle button for flexible operation.
This makes it suitable for workspaces with limited room, while still delivering desktop-level performance.

The absence of a built-in display or keyboard allows users to select peripherals that fit their needs.
Technically, this device is a laptop stripped of its battery, display, and keyboard.
Yet, it still delivers full Core i9 performance, making it both a portable option and a capable workstation for professional or gaming applications.

The absence of a battery means that this device is powered directly via an AC power connection using an external power adapter, similar to a desktop PC.
However, this can be highly inconvenient for people without a stable power supply.
The price information for the G7 Pro remains unknown at the time of writing.
This will be important in determining whether users can afford to purchase it along with a separate keyboard and monitor, otherwise, a laptop might be a more convenient option.
In addition to the G7 Pro, Minisforum also presented three additional systems at IFA 2025.
The G1 Pro, powered by Ryzen 9 8945HX and an RTX 5060 desktop GPU, targets gamers who prefer a console-style mini PC.
The MS-S1 MAX is positioned as an AI workstation supporting up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory and USB4 v2.
The NS Pro focuses on NAS use cases, with AMD Strix Point processors and high-speed storage connectivity.
