One of the first mini PC devices to sport AMD's Strix Halo hardware inside has landed on U.S. soil, or at least it soon will. That would be GMKtec's EVO-X2 mini PC. If that sound familiar, it's because we wrote about this same NUC-sized system earlier this month, though at the time it was only available overseas. That...

I come from a generation where hulking computer cases were a serious flex—it suggested some seriously powerful hardware resided inside. They still can be a flex, but there's been a definite shift (generally speaking) towards more compact systems. Well, it doesn't get a whole lot more compact than a mini PC (PC sticks...

Is the era of x86 computing about to end? Not at all, though today's Arm-based solutions present the biggest threat to date to x86's decades-long dominance in the Windows landscape, and in time we could see a shift towards a more balanced (or at least less lopsided) roster of chips. Qualcomm's Snadragon X Elite and...

While not quite small enough to build a traditional 4x4 NUC, ASRock's new X600TM-ITX motherboard is small enough to build a mini PC, and a bleeding edge one, too. According to ASRock, the X600TM-ITX is the only 'thin mini ITX' form factor motherboard to utilize the AM5 socket, and with it comes support for AMD's Ryzen...
