AOOSTAR NEX 395 Mini PC Relaunches with 64GB RAM for $1,922

AOOSTAR has updated its NEX 395 mini PC with a significant memory upgrade, making it a viable option for users who need more than 32GB of RAM for local AI workloads or heavy multitasking. The company is relaunching the device with 64GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory, which addresses a common bottleneck in compact desktops that rely on soldered RAM. This change allows the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor to access more data without swapping to slower storage, which matters for anyone running large language models or complex simulations on a small form factor.

New 64GB memory configuration targets local AI workloads

The core of this system is the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, which AOOSTAR has paired with the new high-speed memory configuration. This chip is designed for high-performance tasks in a small chassis, and the 64GB RAM upgrade ensures the system can handle the memory demands of modern AI and creative applications. The NEX 395 is not just a basic office machine; it is a powerful desktop replacement that fits on a desk without taking up much space.

Specifications

• Processor: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395
• Memory: 64GB LPDDR5X-8533
• Storage: 1TB SSD with 3x PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 slots
• Cooling: Glacier 5.0 Vapor Chamber + Copper Fins
• Power Release: 140W

AOOSTAR equips the NEX 395 with a Glacier 5.0 vapor chamber and copper fins to manage heat, along with an independent fan for the M.2 storage drive. The system can release up to 140W of power, which helps maintain performance under load. It also includes three PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 2280 slots for storage expansion and supports Wi-Fi 7 for fast wireless connectivity. The rear panel offers two 2.5GbE ports, a 40Gbps USB-C port, and multiple USB-A ports, while the front provides another 40Gbps USB-C connector.

The unit measures 284x159x52 mm and weighs approximately 2kg, making it a substantial but manageable desktop unit. The 1TB SSD variant is available with a promotional launch price of 12,999 CNY (around $1,922), which is lower than the current e-commerce price of 13,599 CNY (around $2,011). This pricing makes the high-memory configuration more accessible for users who previously found the cost prohibitive. The device is currently listed on Chinese e-commerce platforms, and buyers can take advantage of the lower launch price if they order soon.

We looked at AOOSTAR's previous NEX 395 models while tracking mini PC updates, and this relaunch shows a clear shift toward higher memory capacity as the standard for performance. The addition of 64GB RAM and the price adjustment suggest the company is targeting a more professional audience that needs reliability and speed. The NEX 395 now offers a complete package with strong connectivity and cooling for its size.
