Lenovo enters the AI hardware race with its new Yoga AI mini PC, a compact desktop designed for productivity and AI tasks. The machine packs an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H CPU and Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics, aiming to deliver substantial processing power for its small footprint.

The Yoga AI Mini PC boasts up to 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, supporting AI models with up to 80 billion parameters. Lenovo advertises a combined AI performance of 180 TOPS across its CPU, GPU, and NPU. The unit's minimalist aluminum chassis measures just 0.65 liters and weighs 600 grams, featuring ARGB ambient lighting.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth, but physical ports are restricted to two Thunderbolt 4 ports, one USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2, one USB PC port, one USB 3.2 Gen A, an HDMI port, and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port. Currently, the Mini PC is available in China for RMB 17,999, approximately $2,650. The limited port selection could be a drawback for users requiring extensive peripheral connections, even with its advanced AI capabilities.
