MINIX, a recognized leader in compact computing technology for over two decades, is set to launch two new mini PCs—the ER937-AI and ER936-AI—on August 12, 2025. These devices combine a small form factor with powerful hardware aimed at users who need performance in a portable package. The new models target professionals, gamers, and content creators seeking a balance of speed, efficiency, and ease of use.
Powerful Performance in a Small Package
Both the ER937-AI and ER936-AI feature advanced AMD processors with integrated AI processing units to deliver fast handling of complex applications. Despite their compact size, the systems offer performance levels comparable to larger desktop computers. This combination allows users to enjoy desktop-grade computing power without sacrificing space or portability.
The ER937-AI is equipped with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which includes 12 cores and 24 threads running at speeds up to 5.1GHz. It also incorporates a Ryzen AI neural processing unit with dual engines capable of 80 trillion operations per second. This setup ensures quick and efficient processing for AI-driven applications and demanding workloads.
Graphics for the ER937-AI come from the AMD Radeon 890M GPU, which supports high-quality visuals and smooth rendering for gaming, video editing, and 3D work. Connectivity options include tri-band Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast, reliable network connections. Additionally, the system supports Windows Hello fingerprint login for added security and convenience.
The ER936-AI offers a slightly different configuration with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor, featuring 10 cores and 20 threads, running up to 5.0GHz. It also uses a Ryzen AI neural processing unit with 73 trillion operations per second. The AMD Radeon 880M GPU provides capable graphics performance for everyday tasks, casual gaming, and creative work. This model supports tri-band Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, along with dual 2.5G Ethernet ports.
Features Shared Across Both Models
Both mini PCs support 8K video output at 60Hz, delivering crisp and clear images suitable for work and entertainment. Memory is expandable up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM running at 5600MHz, and storage options include a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, expandable up to 8TB. The devices feature a vapor chamber cooling system paired with dual fans, helping maintain low temperatures and quiet operation during heavy use.
Pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro and supporting multiple languages, these mini PCs are ready to use out of the box. The quick-release design allows users to upgrade components easily without the need for tools.
