Mini PCs have become a practical alternative to bulky desktop systems, and Ninkear’s latest L20 takes that approach even further. The system packs Intel’s Lunar Lake platform into a chassis measuring just 0.66 liters, while still leaving room for a wide selection of ports, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and enough hardware for everyday productivity and light gaming.
The Ninkear L20 is powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 5 226V, an 8-core Lunar Lake processor with a 17W TDP. It comes with 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and either a 512GB or 1TB SSD. The combination gives the system enough hardware for office work, web browsing, media consumption, multitasking, and other common desktop workloads without requiring a traditional tower PC.
The Core Ultra 5 226V also includes Intel’s Arc 130V integrated GPU. There is no room for a dedicated graphics card inside the L20, which is expected given its tiny footprint, but the integrated GPU can handle everyday graphics workloads and lighter gaming. Its performance is in the same general range as AMD’s Radeon 780M, which has become a common choice in compact PCs.
Intel’s Lunar Lake platform also brings an NPU for AI workloads. While the NPU does not turn the L20 into a dedicated AI workstation, it can accelerate supported applications and gives the system hardware designed for newer AI-focused software.
Connectivity is another area where the L20 has a lot to offer. Ninkear has fitted the mini PC with five USB 3.0 Type-A ports, USB 4, USB 3.0 Type-C, and USB 2.0 Type-A. Display connectivity includes DisplayPort with support for 4K at 60Hz and HDMI capable of up to 4K at 120Hz. A 2.5Gb Ethernet port is also included for faster wired networking.
The entry-level configuration includes the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and a 512GB SSD for €699 (around $810). Moving to the 1TB version adds another €100, bringing the price to €799 (around $925).
That pricing puts the L20 against several AMD-powered mini PCs, including the GMKtec M6 Ultra, which is listed at around $629.99. The AMD option may appeal more to buyers focused on value or graphics performance, while the Ninkear L20 makes more sense for users who want Intel’s Lunar Lake platform, a very small chassis, modern connectivity, and hardware-based AI acceleration.

For buyers searching for a compact PC that can sit behind a monitor or take up very little desk space, the Ninkear L20 offers a useful mix of performance and connectivity. Its 0.66-liter size is the main attraction, but the Core Ultra 5 226V and Arc 130V make sure the system is not limited to basic office tasks.
