Chinese computer manufacturer Minisforum presented a number of impressive products, including its mini workstation MS-01, V3 3-in-1 tablet and S100-N100, the world’s smallest POE minicomputer.
At CES 2024, it also unveiled its flagship product, the UH185 Ultra, which is touted as the company’s most powerful mini PC yet.
At the heart of the UH185 Ultra is an Intel Core Ultra 185H Meteor Lake processor with 16 cores and 22 threads, delivering up to 5.1 GHz (with a typical TDP of 45 W). It also features a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for AI, along with an Intel Arc Xe-LPG integrated GPU with 8 Xe-Cores clocked at up to 2250 MHz.
Dual 5G interfaces
The connectivity options are equally impressive. The UH185 Ultra is the first mini PC with dual 5G interfaces, with two 5G RJ45 network ports. It also includes two full-speed USB4 interfaces supporting DP and Thunderbolt bridge, two DDR5 5600Mhz SODIMM slots supporting up to 96GB, two M.2 PCIe4.0×4 SSDs and an SD card slot.
The mini PC, which comes with a vertical stand (as shown above), also features a multi-function touchscreen that displays information such as the time, date, temperature and system stats for the CPU, GPU, RAM and SSD. Unfortunately, Windows cannot be displayed on it.
Additionally, the UH185 has a 1080p webcam with a physical shutter for privacy. We haven’t seen this in action, but it’s possible the webcam and screen could be used together for video conferencing.
There’s no word yet on pricing or availability, but it’s expected to be available for pre-order in the coming months.
