Xiaomi: The Chinese smartphone manufacturer seems to be preparing to enter yet another technological market. Xiaomi is most likely known for its smartphones, and some of you may be familiar with their line of laptops, but it now appears that at least a few Windows PCs are on the way.
The two styles were reportedly planned to be unveiled at the Xiaomi event on December 1. Due to Jiang Zemin passing – the former general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, the event has been postponed. It appears that two PC designs were still shown off to select folks a little early while we wait for a new date to be set.

Xiaomi Host Mini PC
Let’s begin with the weirder of the two. The Xiaomi Host Mini PC appears to be a small form factor (SFF) prototype that has been left in its most basic form. That is to say, the system in the image only has a 100W XM22AL5X PSU installed. The remainder of the hardware that will be included in the box hasn’t been revealed because it’s unlikely that Xiaomi will sell it as a barebones kit.
We can infer from the images that a Mini-ITX motherboard will allow low-profile, half-height, up to dual-slot dedicated GPUs. Although we are unsure of how a dedicated GPU will function with the 100W power supply, it’s possible that it isn’t the final or only component in the setup. The windows key and “M” key combination are illustrated on a bespoke plate that is attached to the back of the case. Perhaps Xiaomi intends to change the Windows key combination that generally dismisses all windows and replace it with a unique function. The mechanical switch that is positioned on the back of the Host Mini PC is another intriguing feature. Even while neither of us is certain what it accomplishes, the leaked images do show an accessory package that includes a keycap for the button in question, indicating that it is probably functional.
The second PC
Now let’s go on to the other system, about which we know a lot more. It is a small PC with a form factor similar to the Mac Mini or Intel NUC. It will reportedly be powered by a 45W MD Ryzen 7 6800H APU with a Radeon 680M RDNA2 GPU, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD. Rumour has it that it will cost CNY 3999, or about Rs 46000.
