Lenovo is joining the growing mini PC crowd at CES 2026 with a new desktop that’s all about saving space. The Yoga Mini i is a compact Windows 11 system designed for modern desks where a full tower simply doesn’t fit.
The device uses a cylindrical aluminum chassis. It’s extremely small, coming in at just 0.65 liters in volume and weighing roughly 600 grams. That makes it easy to tuck behind a monitor or move between workspaces if needed.
Despite the size, Lenovo isn’t treating it like a low-end box. The Yoga Mini i can be configured with Intel’s latest Core Ultra X7 358H processor from the Panther Lake lineup, along with up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory and as much as 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage. Graphics rely on integrated Intel Arc.
This mini PC qualifies the system as a Copilot+ PC, bringing support for on-device AI features such as live transcription, summaries, and other assisted workflows, all handled locally rather than in the cloud.
Port selection is better than you might expect from something this small. Lenovo includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two full-function USB-C ports, a USB-A port, HDMI 2.1, and a 2.5Gb Ethernet connection. According to the company, the system can drive up to four external displays at once.
Wireless connectivity is up to date as well, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. There’s also Wi-Fi sensing support, which can detect when a user is nearby to wake the system or trigger basic notifications. Power is handled through a 100W USB-C adapter, keeping cable clutter to a minimum.
The Yoga Mini i will reportedly start at $700 and is scheduled to launch in June 2026. With its mix of compact design, modern ports, and AI features, it looks aimed at users considering devices like the Mac mini but who want to stay within the Windows ecosystem.
