Xiaomi has released a new 250g PC called Ningmei “CR80” mini computer that can be connected to a monitor, keyboard and mouse. The device seeks to position itself as a perfect replacement for traditional desktop computers – at least for non-gamers’ users.
The mini PC meets the functional requirements for less demanding work and entertainment. The device measures less than 12 cm in length and width, and less than 2.5 cm in thickness. It is powered by the quad-core N5105 processor with a turbo frequency of up to 2.9GHz.
Weighing just 250g, it is only slightly heavier than the average smartphone. This means that it can be easily carried in any backpack.
The Ningmei Mini Computer chip is complemented by a 4MB L3 cache. It consumes only 10W of power and is equipped with high-speed M.2 SSD and DDR4 memory.
The SSD can also be upgraded to up to 512GB of total capacity. The PC can be connected to TVs, keyboard, mouse, monitors, projectors, printers, scanners, among other peripheral devices.
Ensuring connectivity, the mini PC offers Intel wireless network card AC7265, which supports 2.4G + 5G dual-band Wi-Fi connection. There is also a Bluetooth module.
There is still no information about a possible global launch of the mini PC. In China, Xiaomi Ningmei Mini PC “CR80” is sold in two variants:
• 128/6 = CNY 1,099 (~PHP 8,890)
• 256/8 = CNY 1,299 (~PHP 10,510)
