Lenovo Yoga Mini i Mini PC Debuts in China Ahead of Global Launch
Lenovo has officially introduced the Yoga Mini i mini PC to the Chinese market, following its initial unveiling at CES 2026. This compact desktop system is built on the advanced Intel Panther Lake platform, offering configurations that scale up to the powerful Intel Core Ultra X7 385H processor with a 45W TDP. Graphics performance is managed by integrated Intel Arc B-series GPUs, with the highest-tier model featuring the Arc B390. The Yoga Mini i also incorporates a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of up to 50 TOPS, meeting the requirements for Microsoft Copilot+ PCs.
Memory options extend up to 32 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, complemented by storage capacities reaching 2 TB via PCIe Gen 4 SSDs. Despite its small form factor—measuring just 130 x 130 x 48.5 mm and weighing approximately 600 grams—the Yoga Mini i delivers a comprehensive selection of connectivity options. Users benefit from multiple USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort support, HDMI 2.1, USB-A, 2.5 GbE Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6. Audio features include a 2W built-in speaker and dual microphones for clear communication.
Security is a key focus, with features such as a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button, Human Presence Detection, and Walk Away Lock for enhanced privacy and protection. The system is powered by a 100W adapter, ensuring reliable performance even under demanding workloads.
Current Availability and Pricing
At present, Lenovo is offering a base configuration of the Yoga Mini i in China, equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. This entry-level model is priced at CNY 5,499 (approximately $800 USD). Earlier reports of a $699 starting price are expected to apply to similar entry-level configurations, rather than the higher-end Core Ultra X7 variants.
Lenovo has listed the Yoga Mini i as "coming soon" in other regions, with a wider international release anticipated later this year. The global rollout is expected to occur before Computex 2026, scheduled for June 2-5.
