According to VideoCardz, the two models of the mini PC set to launch in China will both include the Core Ultra 9 275HX, which is among the top-tier offerings from the Arrow Lake series.

The price for the gaming mini PC, which includes the Nvidia RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, Intel Core Ultra 9, 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, is set at CNY 24,399 in China. This translates to approximately $3,336.
