The Khadas Mind family of mini PCs has a new member: the Khadas Mind 2s. Unveiled at CES 2025, this sleek mini PC boasts Intel's latest Arrow Lake-H processors, a slim design, and impressive expandability, making it a compelling option for those seeking a powerful and compact desktop solution.
Powerful Performance with Intel Arrow Lake-H
The Khadas Mind 2s is equipped with up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor, offering a significant performance boost compared to its predecessor. The Core Ultra 7 255H features a 16-core setup, including 6 high-performance Lion Cove cores, 8 high-efficiency Skymont cores, and 2 low-power Skymont cores. It's positioned to compete with AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Ryzen 9 7940HX chips in terms of performance.
Memory, Storage, and Expandability
- Up to 64GB of LPDDR5X-8400 memory
- 2TB of PCIe storage via a M.2 2230 slot
- Additional M.2 2230 slot for future upgrades
While it doesn't have dedicated graphics, the Mind Link PCIe 5.0 interface allows you to connect an external GPU, such as the RTX 4060 Ti-powered Mind Graphics eGPU (sold separately).
Design and Features
The Mind 2s is incredibly compact, weighing just 435 grams and measuring 20mm thin. It includes:
- HDMI 2.1
- Thunderbolt 4
- USB4
- Dual USB-A 3.2 Gen2 ports
- Bluetooth 5.3
- WiFi 6E
- Built-in 5.55 Wh battery offering 25 hours of standby time
Pricing and Availability
The Khadas Mind 2s will be available starting next month. Pricing details are yet to be released, however. Given that the Core Ultra 7 155H-powered Mind 2 mini PC retails for $1,099, expect the Mind 2s to be priced higher.
