Lenovo Yoga Mini i Gen 11 has launched in China after its CES 2026 debut, bringing a compact circular design and Intel Core Ultra hardware into the mini PC segment. The device measures 283 x 202 x 123 mm with a 0.65-litre chassis. It weighs 600 g and uses an aluminum enclosure with a polished base in a Seashell finish.
The initial configuration available in China includes an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor paired with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, priced at CNY 5,499, which is about $797. Lenovo had earlier indicated a $699 starting price in the US, also tied to this processor tier. Higher-end configurations with up to an Intel Core Ultra X7 385H processor are expected later, along with up to 32 GB LPDDR5x memory and 2 TB PCIe Gen4 SSD storage.
The system runs Windows 11 Home or Pro and includes an NPU rated at up to 50 TOPS for AI workloads. Graphics scale up to Intel Arc B390. A 45W thermal design with a blower fan is used to maintain stable performance during multitasking, editing, and rendering tasks.
Connectivity is a key focus. The Yoga Mini i supports up to four displays through dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, multiple USB-C ports with DisplayPort, HDMI 2.1 with 4K at 60 Hz output, USB-A, and Ethernet. Wireless support includes WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. A 100W power supply is integrated.
The system includes a 2W speaker, dual microphones, and several AI-driven features. Adaptive Lighting reacts to presence and audio, while touch controls and an accelerometer enable gesture-based interaction. WiFi sensing supports human presence detection, enabling automatic wake and screen dimming. Security features include a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button, Microsoft Pluton, Secured-core PC support, and Walk Away Lock. The device also carries ENERGY STAR, FSC, and carbon-neutral certifications.
Lenovo lists the Yoga Mini i as coming soon in other regions, with a broader global rollout expected before July 2026.
