Thermalright had something that really caught my eye in the halls of Nangang at Computex 2025, a new Mini-PC that isn't just powered by up AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" APU, but the new Mini-PC has an AIO liquid cooler. Check it out:
The new 1-liter Mini-PC has a red-and-black themed open-frame design, which looks fantastic in the flesh, with a screen on the front of the system that can display stats from your system (CPU, GPU temps, the date and time, and more). The open-frame design features a large-ish (for a Mini-PC) copper radiator, a fan, and a motherboard. Inside, the system on the show floor featured an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" APU.
Inside, we've got t e AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" APU with 12 cores and 24 threads of Zen 5 processing power, 16 cores of RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 8060S GPU, as well as easily-upgradeable RAM and SSD options with accessible M.2 SSD and SO-DIMM memory slots on the back.

Personally, there's enough power here for most productivity and web-based work, with the 12C/24T "Strix Point" APU offering impressive enough performance for most tasks, with the RDNA 3.5 GPU handling some light-to-mid gaming, where you can easily do 60FPS in most titles at low-to-high graphics settings, and even 120FPS+ in popular esports-style games.
The sandwiched-style cooler with the heatsink on one side and the fan on the other in an open-frame chassis just LOOKS awesome in person, it's hard to believe Thermalright is making this for consumers and not just for reviewers. The upgradeable SSD and SO-DIMM memory is another winner for Thermalright, too.
