ThundeRobot MIX II adds Ryzen 7 8745HS config for around $587

Hardware buyers seeking a compact desktop solution now have a more affordable entry point into the AMD Ryzen 7 ecosystem. ThundeRobot updated its MIX II mini PC lineup with a new configuration that lowers the barrier to entry for small form factor computing. This change matters to users who need a powerful processor in a tiny chassis but want to avoid premium pricing. The new option delivers solid multitasking capabilities without requiring a large desk footprint.

New 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD configuration lowers entry price

The updated MIX II model centers around the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS processor. This chip provides eight cores and sixteen threads to handle demanding workloads efficiently. ThundeRobot paired the CPU with 16GB of DDR5 RAM to ensure fast data access. This combination balances processing power with memory bandwidth for smooth daily operations.

Specifications

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS
• Memory: 16GB DDR5 RAM
• Storage: 512GB SSD
• Volume: 0.68L
• Price: 3999 CNY (around $587)

ThundeRobot keeps the system compact with a metal chassis measuring 128 by 128 by 37 millimeters. The total volume sits at just 0.68 liters, making it easy to mount behind a monitor or tuck into a bag. Storage capacity starts at 512GB, which provides ample space for the operating system and essential applications. The build quality emphasizes durability while maintaining a small physical profile.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless peripherals and internet access. The front panel features one USB4 port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The rear panel offers four additional USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, an HDMI 2.0 output, a DisplayPort 1.4, and an RJ45 Ethernet port. This extensive port selection reduces the need for external dongles or hubs.

The new configuration is available in China starting June 29, 2024. ThundeRobot lists the price at 3999 CNY (around $587), which comes to around $587. This pricing positions the device as a budget-friendly option in the mini PC market. We looked at Machenike GTR Mini PC with Ryzen earlier while tracking Thunderobot launches.

ThundeRobot has confirmed the specifications and pricing for this new MIX II variant. The system offers a capable AMD processor and comprehensive connectivity in a small package. Buyers can purchase the unit directly through Chinese retail channels at the stated price.
