SimplyNUC has unveiled the Onyx Pro, a recent addition to its Mini PC collection that distinguishes itself with optional discrete GPU (dGPU) support and robust performance.
Powered by the 45W Intel “Raptor Lake” i9 13900H processor, the Onyx Pro boasts a 14-core/20-thread setup coupled with an Intel Xe integrated GPU. The standard model includes 8 GB of DDR5-5600 memory and 256 GB of PCIe 4.0-based flash storage. However, through its dual SO-DIMM slots and triple M.2 2280 slots, users can expand the RAM to 96 GB and storage to 8 TB.
Versatile GPU Support
One of the key features of the Onyx Pro is its compatibility with various dGPUs such as the NVIDIA Quadro T1000, AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200, and Intel Arc Pro A40. This adaptability empowers users to tailor their system for professional-grade performance rather than gaming, catering to professionals seeking a compact yet potent PC.
Enhanced Connectivity
The Onyx Pro excels in connectivity options, offering dual 10G SFP+ fiber ports, dual 2.5G RJ-45 LAN ports, and a range of USB ports including 2x USB4 Type-C and 3x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports. Additionally, it features a MediaTek MT7922 wireless card that supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
Pricing and Availability
Now open for pre-orders, the Onyx Pro starts at $1,199 for the base model. Despite its slightly larger dimensions for a Mini PC, measuring 196 x 189 x 48 mm, it presents generous expansion and mounting options. These include a PCI-E 4.0 x16 half-height expansion slot and the choice for VESA wall mounting.
