Shortly after the EU forced Apple to allow third-party app stores on iOS (in the European Union, at least), Epic announced it was bringing its Epic Games Store to iPhones and Android. Up until recently it's mostly been a place for installing Epic games like Fortnite, Fall Guides, and Rocket League Sideswipe. But now Epic has announced the availability of third-party titles in the Epic Games Store for mobile devices.

Earlier this year Chinese mini PC maker AOOSTAR launched a small desktop computer with an unusual feature - a built-in touchscreen display on top of the case that you could flip up when you need it. At the time the AOOSTAR G-Flip was only available with an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Strix Point processor. While that's a pretty powerful chip, it's not a cheap one.

La ristrutturazione di Intel: oltre 15.000 licenziamenti per allineare la struttura dei costi al nuovo modello operativo e affrontare le sfide finanziarie

The System76 Meerkat is a mini PC that ships with either Ubuntu or Pop!_OS software pre-installed. It's basically a rebranded version of an Intel or Asus NUC with the System76 logo on the lid, but it stands out from most mini PCs by shipping with a GNU/Linux distribution rather than Windows. The latest model also has a feature that you don't typically find in a NUC: dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports.

The Topton F12 is a small desktop computer with support for up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H Meteor Lake processor, up to 96GB of DDR5-5600 memory, and up to 8TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage. It's also an unusually-designed little computer that's designed to stand vertically so it looks more like a game console (or a router, really) than a PC.

UGREEN entered the network-attached-storage space in 2024 with a robust lineup of NAS systems covering a wide range of price points and hardware capabilities. While Ian was underwhelmed with the company's work-in-progress software when he reviewed the NASync DXP480T Plus in September, the hardware itself is priced rather competitively and it turns out you can install alternate operating systems…

Chinese computer maker GEEKOM has been selling mini PCs for about five years, and over that time the company has built a solid reputation. After reviewing several of the company's mini PCs, I've generally come away impressed with their build quality, and performance. Last year GEEKOM announced it was venturing into the laptop market with its first two models, including an extraordinarily thin and light laptop with some premium features including a high-quality display.

Mini PC makers often offer several different processor options so that customers can decide whether to prioritize price, performance, or some mix of the two. But usually those processor options are all part of the same family. The MINISFORUM M1 Pro bucks that trend. Customers interested in picking up an entry-level model can pay $383 for a barebones version with an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor based on Intel Meteor Lake architecture.

MSI has introduced two new members of the MSI Cubi mini PC lineup, and like most PC makers announcing new hardware this year, the company is emphasizing the on-device AI capabilities, going so far as to add "AI" to the names of both PCs. The MSI Cubi NUC AI+ 2M is a small desktop computer with an Intel Lunar Lake processor, while the 

It's been more than a decade since Intel launched the first NUC (Next Unit of Computing) mini PC, and over the years I've come to think of NUC family as reference designs for other small form factor computers. Sure, there have been a few lemons over the years, but for the most part each new model featured the latest hardware, and typically set a benchmark for performance, port offerings, cooling solutions, and noise emissions.
