Just yesterday (11th December 2022), Xiaomi held its highly anticipated launch event in which it launched its Xiaomi 13 series of flagship smartphones and a number of other products. This included the new Xiaomi Mini PC. Now, the company has also released a Barebone variant of this model, so let’s have a look.

As the name suggests, the Mini PC (Barebone) model arrives without a number of key specifications. For those unaware, the full fledged model features an Intel Core i5-1240P processor with Intel Iris Xe Graphic support. This processor is paired with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and 512GB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. It also runs on Windows 11 Home Chinese Edition operating system out of the box. However, the barebone version is lacking a couple of these features. Some of these features include the lack of memory modules (RAM), no SSD storage, or even an operating system pre installed.

Although the barebone model also comes with a more affordable price tag as well. The original version was launched in China with a 3,699 Yuan price tag (roughly 531 US Dollars). But this variant is available for a cheaper 2,799 Yuan (roughly 401 US Dollars). In other words, the Chinese tech giant is offering its Xiaomi Mini PC (Barebone) model for a whole 900 Yuan cheaper. While these parts can be removed when ordering this pocket computer (not to be taken literally), prospective buyers can pick and choose which parts they would require out of these three, which offers users more options.

Along with smartphones and AIoT goods, Xiaomi has plans to enter a number of other markets. Their smartphone business has been performing quite well in the marketplace. The company also intends to produce its first-ever AI-driven automobile in order to get into the electric vehicle market. Currently, the company is preparing to join the desktop PC market. A few really nice Windows laptops from the brand have previously been released.

The two different styles were reportedly planned to be unveiled at the Xiaomi event on December 1. Due to Jiang Zemin’s passing as the former general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, the event has been postponed. It appears that two PC designs were still shown off to select folks a little early while we wait for a new date to be set.

Let’s start with the former. The Xiaomi Host Mini PC appears to be a small form factor (SFF) device that has been showcased in a basic version. That is to say, the system in the image only has a 100W XM22AL5X PSU installed. The remainder of the hardware that will be included in the box hasn’t been revealed because it’s unlikely that Xiaomi will sell it as a full-featured kit.

Now let’s go on to the other system, about which we know a lot more. It is a small PC with a form factor similar to the Mac Mini or Intel NUC. It will reportedly be powered by a 45W MD Ryzen 7 6800H APU with a Radeon 680M RDNA2 GPU, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD. Rumour has it that it will cost CNY 3999, or about $570.
