Microsoft 365 Link mini PC streams Windows 11 from the cloud in a secure ecosystem

Posted on by

Let’s be honest Windows 11 is not perfect, evolving at an agonizingly slow pace. This has pushed many power users down the Apple alley. The recently launched Mac Mini has a lot going in its favor, further creating a deep divide between the Microsoft and Apple options.

As a last-ditch effort to save the glitchy Windows 11 OS and very less options to choose from that bind the hardware and software for a seamless experience, Microsoft has introduced the Windows 365 Link mini PC strictly limited to cloud usage in a walled environment. The portable CPU is targeted towards big organizations and businesses who give a lot of weightage to security and keeping the working environment productive.

Designer: Microsoft

Targeted towards enterprise users

This is the world’s first dedicated “boot to cloud” device that runs Windows 11 OS via the Windows 365 link on the Windows 365 servers. Priced at $349 it is specifically designed to run Windows 365 Cloud PCs, and you need a Windows 365 subscription to get started. That adds another $28 to $315 per month. It’s still not clear whether the mini PC will get the extra perk of a subscription discount as a bundle, but we hope so.

The most popular option for employees is a $66 per month per user with applications including Microsoft Teams and browsers. Include the $349 hardware cost of the Windows mini PC and you’ve got a fat bill of $2,000 for a closed ecosystem with limited applications. Compare that to the $1,300 price tag for the 15-inch touchscreen Microsoft Surface Laptop powered by the Snapdragon X Elite chip and having 256GB storage. Clearly, Microsoft’s compact PC is not targeted towards individual users, and in no way competes with Apple’s powerhouse mini PC.

Security takes center stage

This 120 x 120 x 30 mm desktop PC has a fanless design, and comes with a 3.5mm audio jack, three USB-A ports, one USB-C port, an HDMI port, and a single DisplayPort output. There’s one Ethernet port, WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless connectivity. The mini PC is designed for specific requirements where workers need to be quickly rotated between workstations and securely access their files. This eliminates the hassle of configuring the user settings and saving time. Also, the PC is ideal for setups where cloud-based software and hardware integration takes precedence.

Windows 365 Link will be available for purchase in April 2025 – that’s a long way off. However, one can enroll for the preview program in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, Japan, Australia, or New Zealand. Interested users can join the program before December 15 with permission from the Microsoft account team.

EliteMini AI370: The Tiny Windows Mini-PC Built to Outperform Apple’s M4 Mac mini

Posted on by

You know how every time Apple launches a feature on the iPhone, Android people rush to point out they did it first, or they did it better? If you’re a Windows fan, this post might just be perfect for you. At the end of last month, Apple debuted the M4 Mac mini, surprising us not with just a chip upgrade, but a size downgrade too. A fraction of its original size, this newer Mac mini was tailored for Apple’s AI (or Apple Intelligence), and was designed to be a functional power-house. Not to be outdone, however… it seems like MiniForum has a Windows-based answer to the new Mac mini.

The EliteMini AI370 may be a bit of a handful name-wise, but it’s a handful when it comes to performance, ports, and portability too. Powered by AMD’s latest AI-ready Ryzen processor and the Radeon 890M, the EliteMini has 12 cores, 24 threads, and 50 TOPS of AI processing, ready to easily handle any demanding task from gaming to video editing or even working with AI models without breaking a sweat. The entire device measures just 5 inches across, making it exactly as small as the Mac mini, albeit with way more ports… and perhaps the most important feature – a front-facing power button.

Designer: MinisForum

Under the hood, the EliteMini AI370 boasts AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which makes multitasking a breeze. With 12 cores and 24 threads, this chip is engineered for the heavy workloads you’d typically assign to a full-sized desktop, handling everything from advanced editing to 3D rendering with ease. Thanks to AMD’s XDNA2 architecture, this processor includes a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), delivering up to 50 TOPS (trillion operations per second) in AI power. If you’re working with AI applications, real-time rendering, or advanced editing software, this kind of performance is a huge asset, enhancing productivity while keeping things running smoothly.

Graphics enthusiasts and gamers will appreciate the Radeon 890M integrated graphics. Unlike many compact PCs that struggle with graphical processing, the EliteMini is geared for high-quality visuals, with frame rates above 60 FPS. This makes it more than capable for gaming and intensive creative applications. Having this level of integrated GPU performance means you won’t need to invest in an external GPU—perfect if you’re tight on desk space or don’t want extra hardware cluttering your setup.

Memory and storage are equally robust in the EliteMini AI370, with 32GB of DDR5 memory clocked at a fast 7500 MHz. This speed is a lifesaver for multitasking, allowing you to work across several applications without stalling. Storage options are equally impressive, supporting up to 4TB of PCIe NVMe SSD. That’s plenty of space for large project files, software libraries, and extensive media, while the SSD’s high-speed access means you won’t be stuck waiting around for files to load. For everything else, there are ports on both the front as well as the back.

All this power and performance gets packed into a compact and accessible device, fitting neatly on any desk setup. The 5-inch form factor is easy to overlook, but don’t let its size fool you—this mini-PC holds its own. For users who need a flexible and minimal setup, the EliteMini offers a front-facing USB-C setup and headphone jack, while ports on the back include three USB 4.0, HDMI, and an Ethernet connection that’s upgradable to 10GbE. As a (probably) unintentional jab to Apple, the EliteMini puts its power button smack-dab on the front of the mini PC too, making it MUCH more accessible than the Mac mini’s awkwardly placed power button.

Of course, all these features come at a price. The EliteMini AI370 starts at an introductory $1,099, with a regular price of $1,399, reflecting the high-end components and capabilities. For comparison, Apple’s Mac Mini M4 starts at $599, but it lacks the EliteMini’s integrated AI capabilities and has fewer configuration options. For Windows users who prioritize performance and customization, the EliteMini’s added capabilities and that compact design make it a perfect alternative to the Mac mini. Besides, if you’re going to be working with AI models, you’d want a computer that’s AI ready too, no?

Powerful Mini-PC Fits Inside a Foldable Keyboard with AMD Ryzen 7 and 1TB SSD

Posted on by

Barely the size of a Mac mini, the Lunar is a 2-in-1 Foldable Keyboard that packs an entire PC into its compact design. Think of it as a laptop’s spiritual sibling – designed to fit anywhere and be carried wherever you go. All you really need is a display, be it a monitor, an iPad, or even those newfangled carry-anywhere AR glasses.

Sometimes, innovation surprises you not with flashy features, but with a simplicity that redefines an experience. The Lunar mini PC is exactly that—a folding keyboard that, when unfolded, reveals the heart of a powerful AMD Ryzen-powered computer. I’ve been following the trends in portable computing for years, and rarely does a device manage to balance performance, design, and practicality as seamlessly as this. It’s easy to overlook, especially if you’re used to thinking of PCs as large, cumbersome machines, but the Lunar mini PC changes that perception the moment you hold it.

The AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor inside might sound like overkill for something this small, but it’s not just about raw power. Think about how we work today: jumping from a coffee shop to a co-working space, sometimes connecting to external monitors, sometimes working straight from a tablet or even AR glasses. Lunar’s decision to skip a built-in screen in favor of external display options is more of a design statement than a compromise. Why drain battery life on an extra screen when you can wirelessly stream to a device you already carry, or plug into a larger display for more serious tasks? It’s an approach that resonates with anyone tired of carrying excess tech that never quite fits their routine.

Sure, it’s portable, but how does it feel? The Lunar PC’s keyboard is surprisingly satisfying, especially given its folding nature. It’s designed to feel like a proper typing experience, not the cramped, flimsy experience you get from so many portable keyboards. Folded down, it weighs just 800 grams, and its slim profile (6.1 x 4.3 x 1.1 inches) means it can easily be slipped into a backpack or messenger bag. When unfolded, the keyboard stretches to nearly 30 cm, offering a comfortable layout even for extended typing sessions, with 1.2mm scissor switches that offer a fair amount of travel. With up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB SSD, and nearly 10 hours of battery life on a full charge, you could easily use the mini-PC for everything from gaming to editing photos and videos – something you wouldn’t be able to do on, say, an Android tablet that’s just as portable.

Surprisingly, the foldable keyboard packs more port variety than your average MacBook Air or Chromebook. It’s equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, ensuring you’re getting the latest in wireless technology. You’ve also got the flexibility of a USB 3.0 Type-A, a USB 3.2 Type-C, and a USB4 port, which means you can connect pretty much anything you need, whether it’s external storage, a monitor, or even a full docking station. With a 16,000mAh battery inside, it’s designed to get you through a full day of light work without being tethered to a wall. This kind of flexibility in a mini PC is rare, especially when most of us are constantly juggling devices and chargers.

The appeal of Lunar extends to its flexibility—if you need a screen, it’ll connect to virtually any display you already own, and for something more immersive, AR and VR headsets like the XReal Air 2 or Apple Vision Pro are compatible. This makes it particularly appealing for creatives or those who need to switch between work and entertainment modes seamlessly. It’s not limited to individual use either. The Lunar can create a hotspot to share its connectivity with other devices, making it a great solution for team projects or collaborative work away from the office.

As someone who’s always on the lookout for tech that balances design and functionality with a creative approach, the Lunar 2-in-1 is exciting. Currently, it’s live on Kickstarter with a starting price of $579 for the base model, which includes 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage (that’s about as much as my gaming laptop for half the price and half the size). Shipping is expected to start in January 2025, with a GaN charger included with each Lunar mini-PC for easy charging. Whether you’re a designer, a writer, or just someone tired of carrying too many gadgets, the Lunar 2-in-1 feels like the kind of device that could simplify your setup without sacrificing performance. And honestly, isn’t that the dream? A full PC in your pocket, ready to work wherever you are.

Mini-PC the size of a Mac Studio comes with a Ryzen 9 Chipset and a 7-inch Touchscreen

Posted on by

Imagine if your iPad Mini had ports, a powerful computer, and the ability to work alongside your main machine as a perfect productivity sidekick. That’s what the Miniproca is aiming to be.

Slightly wider than a Mac Studio (thanks to its rectangular design), the Miniproca is a mini PC with the attitude of a conventional desktop. Equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor, this mini-PC delivers robust performance capable of handling demanding tasks with ease. Complementing the processor are Radeon RX 680M graphics, which ensure smooth visuals for gaming, video editing, and other graphically intensive applications. However, the mini PC also packs a 7-inch touchscreen on the top that folds outwards to face you, turning it into what I can only describe is the opposite of a laptop. The tiny touchscreen display becomes the Miniproca’s visual unit, allowing you to use your PC in a variety of ways. Sure, you could use it as a secondary display while you connect a larger monitor to the Miniproca, or the touchscreen could become your dashboard or widget center, acting as a place to display other core information, whether it’s stock prices for traders, gaming stats for gamers, hotkeys for streamers, or just YouTube or Netflix on the side while you work for most people.

Designer: Miniproca

The Miniproca really tries to create a new category of computing by combining two existing categories – the mini tablet, and the mini PC. Tablets are great because they’re touch-sensitive and portable… but they’re not powerful. A mini PC on the other hand packs power, but without a screen. In comes the Miniproca, hitting two birds with the same stone. The integrated touchscreen transforms the device into a versatile computing solution. The touchscreen can be positioned in various angles, from flat to a 90-degree upright position, offering flexibility for different use cases. As a secondary monitor, it can enhance productivity by providing additional workspace for applications, communication tools, or reference materials. For those seeking a more portable setup, the Miniproca can serve as a standalone device, with the touchscreen providing a convenient interface for various tasks.

Design-wise, the Miniproca adopts a minimalist aesthetic that complements modern workspaces. Its aluminum alloy chassis exudes durability while maintaining a sleek profile. The standout feature is the integrated 7-inch touchscreen, which flips up to reveal a multi-touch display. This innovative design offers flexibility in usage, allowing it to function as a standalone device, a secondary monitor, or even a digital photo frame. The inclusion of anti-slip pads on the base ensures stability on various surfaces.

Under the hood, the Miniproca packs a powerful punch. At its core lies an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor, delivering robust performance for demanding tasks such as video editing, content creation, and gaming. Complementing the CPU is Radeon RX 680M graphics, capable of handling visually intensive applications with ease. Users can further enhance performance by opting for up to 32GB of DDR5 memory and a spacious 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.

Connectivity is a crucial aspect of any modern computing device, and the Miniproca doesn’t disappoint. The device boasts a comprehensive array of ports, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and a mix of USB 2.0, 3.2, and Type-C options (in theory, you can connect as many as 3 monitors to the Miniproca, giving you a multi-display setup). Dual Ethernet LAN ports cater to users who prioritize wired connections for stability. Wireless connectivity is ensured through Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E, allowing seamless integration with other devices.

The Miniproca measures 175 x 137 x 55 mm and weighs 855g, making it highly portable and a great complementary machine to a laptop or existing peripherals. The Miniproca is currently available for pre-order on Kickstarter. Pricing starts at US$699 for the base model with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, while the top-tier configuration with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage is priced at US$919.

Minisforum’s UH125 Pro mini PC packs a powerful punch in a tiny form

Posted on by

While laptops and tablets are the most convenient and most mobile for those who want to work outside, it’s not always the most powerful. But having those bulky computers at home or at the office may also not be that ideal even if they can sometimes be more powerful. So a mini PC can be the best thing to have if you’re looking for something compact but still powerful enough to let you do what you need to do if you’re a content creator, gamer, or a professional.

Designer: Minisforum

The UH125 Pro from Minisforum seems to be a pretty powerful mini computer that is packaged into a tiny body. It has the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor with intel 4 technology and a 3D high-performance hybrid architecture. Since it has 2x iGPU performance, you will be able to improve the running speed when it comes to tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, and live streaming. It’s also perfect for watching videos and playing games as it has the Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) technology that is able to support high-performance and high-fidelity visual effects.

Even thought it is smaller than most computers, it has high-efficiency large storage for your multimedia entertainment and massive data storage needs. And in case that isn’t enough, there’s a storage expansion method as well. You can also connect up to four 4K screens at the same time since it has two full-speed USB4 ports, one HDMI 2.1 port, and one DP 2.0 port. And in case your concern is overheating since it’s small, it has a compact phase-change heat dissipation design with a large-diameter silent cooling fan and three heat dissipation copper pipes.

The UH125 Pro is small enough that you can place it on your workspace even if you have a small one. It actually looks like the old-school hard drive boxes that we used back when we needed high storage external drives. There’s a barebone version and a more expensive one that has 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. Both are now available for pre-order on the Minisforum website.

Futuristic mini PC is like a spaceship ready to take gaming to new heights

Posted on by

Is there a reason why desktops and even mini PCs mostly come in flat boxes? Electronics are still rigid objects, and they have to adhere to flat or similarly boxy designs with today’s engineering limitations. As such, a tower or a box is the most space-efficient container for these pieces that work together to provide all your computing needs. But what if space was less important than aesthetics, especially with today’s more compact hardware? That’s the kind of revolutionary mindset that this mini PC is trying to present with a chassis that is almost literally out of this world, looking more like a spaceship that’s ready to take off and elevate your gaming, and it does so literally as well.

Designer: ACEMAGIC

Mini PCs are no longer that alien to people’s ears, especially thanks to the popularity of the non-PC Mac mini and Mac studio. These computers emphasize compact designs that save you some desk space while still cramming as much power in a tiny boxy. That doesn’t have to be the only design available, however, especially with how small some computer components have become. After all, the latest breed of handheld gaming PCs are technically portable mini PCs, though with even bigger constraints when it comes to performance.

The ACEMAGIC M2A is a mini PC that throws design conventions out the door. Technically, its hardware can all fit in what would be a slim and minimalist rectangular box, but that would be boring and completely unoriginal. Instead, the company aimed to make its product stand out, almost literally, but making it look like a spacecraft similar to those you’d see on sci-fi flicks and shows. Specifically, the main body itself tapers slightly to the side and then splits upward and downward into fins. The style is largely polygonal, which matches the sci-fi theme, with LED accents in front and on the tip of the wings for added flavor.

The design admittedly takes up more vertical space on your desk, and it won’t be something you can conveniently place underneath your monitor (unless that monitor is set up on an ergonomic stand or arm). It is, after all, designed more to have some visual impact rather than space savings, but it does have one practical benefit, whether intentional or not. The bottom fins act as legs that lift the mini PC up, allowing for better airflow into the bottom-mounted fans.

Internally, the ACEMAGIC M2A tries to be a compact gaming PC, and it seems to meet that description, depending on your needs. It practically uses hardware from 2022, so it might not be up to snuff when it comes to more demanding AAA titles today. There are definitely more powerful mini gaming PCs in the market today, ones with the latest CPUs and GPUs, which makes you wonder if this spaceship-like computer’s high price tag is really worth that distinctive design.

Phone-sized mini PC lets you take your computer and your work anywhere

Posted on by

Our smartphones have become so powerful that, in theory, they have hardware equivalent to entry-level laptops from a few years back. But despite all that silicon muscle, they can’t really replace our everyday PCs mostly because of the operating system that’s used on most of these computers: Windows. Small, portable, and inconspicuous computers have always been a dream for both users and business owners, whether it’s for working on the go or setting up kiosks, security systems, or space-efficient workstations. This small brick tries to deliver exactly that, giving you the flexibility you need for any kind of computing in almost any context in a size that’s no larger than high-capacity power banks.

Designer: Minisforum

With the popularity of the Apple Mac Mini and, now, the Mac Studio, mini PCs have become more visible in the market. These desktop alternatives, however, are still meant to sit on a table or even on a shelf despite their small sizes. But while these small computers do offer plenty of power to support even some content creation or light gaming, that hardware also closes the door on many possible use cases that would have required them to be less tied down to a table.

The Minisforum S100 is a small, sleek box that you might easily mistake for a power bank. Ironically, it doesn’t actually have its own battery but is a mini PC that you can bring along with you or install in the narrowest of spaces. Despite its small size, it actually boasts a complete set of standard connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.2, 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, USB-A ports, HDMI, and 65W USB-C.

The latter two are what make this design so portable and flexible. On a typical desktop, you can connect it to a USB-C monitor that supports USB-C PowerDelivery so that you don’t even have to plug the S100 into an outlet. You can connect another monitor via HDMI to have a dual-screen setup for increased productivity. And when you’re done for the day, you can pick up the palm-sized mini PC and go, maybe even work or chill in a cafe by connecting an external display and a power bank. The Ethernet port also supports Power-over-Ethernet or PoE, so you can use the S100 as the brains behind a camera security system and not have it plugged in at all.

Despite the flexibility that the Minisforum S100 offers, its performance is hampered a bit by the quad-core Intel N100 processor that runs the show, definitely not the best among the chip maker’s “mobile” processors. Its lower-power operation, however, does allow the mini PC to sip rather than chug electricity and keep thermals equally low. You definitely won’t be running heavy applications, but for $189, a Windows 11 computer you can easily slip into your bag or even your pocket might actually be worth the price.

ASUS ROG NUC mini PC offers a small gaming box with a big catch

Posted on by

Handheld gaming PCs might be the buzzword in the industry, but they’re not the only small-form gaming-oriented computers around. In fact, it’s probably thanks to the relative success of the likes of the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion GO, and ASUS ROG Ally that the formula for compact gaming computers has been tested and proven. It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that gaming desktops in mini PC form would be popping up more frequently, like this latest entry from ASUS’ ROG brand that carries in its compact body some pretty big specs, a big legacy, and, unfortunately, an equally big price tag.

Designer: ASUS ROG

Gamers, especially those on the PC side of the fence, might already be familiar with the Republic of Gamers brand, but “NUC” might sound alien to them. The name, which stands for “Next Unit of Computing,” actually came from Intel and was used for the chipmaker’s line of mini PCs. After a decade of existence, Intel decided the product line really bore no fruit, definitely not in terms of profit, and decided to shutter the hardware and license the name to ASUS. Thus, the ASUS ROG NUC is pretty much the merger of two DNAs, one from Intel’s somewhat proof-of-concept mini PCs and the other from ASUS’s gaming house.

Unlike Intel’s NUCs, which were pretty much barebone general-purpose budget computers in a small box, the ROG NUC has the beating heart of a gaming laptop, just crammed in a small box that’s just around two inches thick. That includes an Intel Core Ultra processor, the kind that boasts upgraded AI chops, and an integrated NVIDIA RTX 4060 or 4070, depending on the configuration. There are plenty of ports for connection, as well as options for expanded storage that you can easily access thanks to its tool-less chassis.

While those might sound like juicy features for a gaming mini PC, the starting price of $1,629 makes it look less palatable, or $2,199 for the next step up in specs. For that price, you can already get a respectable gaming laptop with nearly the same or even better specs, and you won’t need to hook it up to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. And unlike a desktop PC, you can’t upgrade anything other than memory and storage, so performance is pretty much a fixed value.

These raise the question of who the ASUS ROG NUC will be for, and the answer is quite a niche market. It will be for PC gamers who don’t exactly need mobility but do have limited desk space for a tower. It might even be for users who already have a more powerful gaming desktop and just need a secondary computer for their office. Either way, these scenarios make that high price tag even less appealing unless ASUS holds a sale immediately after launching the product.

AYANEO’s Mini Gaming Console borrows NES persona to satisfy Retro-geeks

Posted on by

The AYANEO Mini PC AM01 boasting the nostalgic Mac design got the tech pundits excited and for good measure. With the looks of the classic Mac and the innards of a Windows 11 PC, the cool little desk accessory is a gaming console at large for gamers who love retro flavors.

When we first got you acquainted with this little bundle of joy, there were already talks of the Retro Mini PC AM02 which emulates the design of the classic NES. A mini PC at heart, this one too balances out the retro and contemporary design scheme to perfection. Obviously, Nintendo fans will fancy this one over the AM01, but other users will also be drawn by its 4-inch touchscreen, considering most of the rivals don’t offer this luxury.

Designer: AYANEO

This mini gaming console blends unique design aesthetics with high-performance hardware without any compromise in the compact form factor. Keep it on your desk or mount it on a wall or anything in the vicinity, the mini gaming console weighing just 538g is equally impressive. The recreated front cover tactfully hides all the input/output ports for a clean look which is another resounding plus. This cover can be click opened with a red button opposite the power button, adding to the cool trickery.

The on-board AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS APU, DDR5 RAM (16/32 GB) and 512GB/1TB SSD on the AM02 are well-equipped for PC gaming or tasks like video editing or music composition. To keep the internal temperature down, the mini gaming console has a potent four-copper pipe heat dissipation structure, aided by the 45W large-size turbine fan. Coming onto the screen it displays vital statistics for nerds including CPU data, current FPS, temperature and fan speed. For normal users, a left swipe on the screen toggles the view to the current date and time. One more swipe displays the virtual volume control and the option to toggle the display on or off.

For gamers, the company has an in-built launcher or you can use your own preferred launcher like the Launchbox/BigBox to run Steam or Epic titles, but that option requires a bit of working around. The AYANEO Mini PC AM01 will set you back anywhere between $440 – $630 depending on the chosen configuration. For that starting price you can get yourself a PS5, so the mini gaming console is at a more premium spectrum of the market choices.
