The Chinese electronics manufacturer Chuwi, best known for its tablets and laptops, has launched a new mini-PC in its Corebox lineup, called the Chuwi CoreBox 4th gen, which looks much like a small Mac Pro. The computer’s chassis is built of aluminum-magnesium alloy and polycarbonate, and it has dimensions of 173 x 158 x 73mm (6.8′′ x 6.2′′ x 2.9′′).

It is powered by an Intel Core i3-1215U CPU, which has 6 cores and 8 threads and is designed for laptops (2 Performance cores with support for hyperthreading plus four single-threaded efficiency cores). It has integrated Intel UHD graphics with 64 execution units and the capability for speeds up to 1.1 GHz. Although it is only rated for 15 watts, Chuwi claims that the configuration of their tiny PC will allow the chip to use up to 35 watts.

Other features include a 512GB M.2 2280 PCIe SSD (replaceable), 16GB of dual-channel LPDDR5 memory (not user upgradeable), and space for an additional 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD. The computer features four USB 3.0 Type-A connections, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, DisplayPort, and HDMI 2.0 ports, as well as 3.5mm mic and audio jacks. It also contains a single Thunderbolt 4 port that may be used for external graphics docks or other devices.

Utilizing the HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB Type-C connectors, you should be able to connect three 4K displays. A 65-watt power supply and a wireless card that supports WiFi 6 connectivity are included with the 4th generation Chuwi CoreBox.

The new Chuwi CoreBox 4th-generation small PC will be available later this month. It retails for $449, but those who pre-order it can save $50 and get one for $399.
