At CES 2026, Khadas, a leading name in compact computing, introduced significant updates to its Mind product line. The highlight of the announcement is the upcoming Khadas Mind Pro mini PC, powered by Intel’s next-generation Panther Lake processors, alongside the new Mind Graphics 2 external GPU dock. These innovations are set to enhance performance and modularity for users seeking powerful yet portable computing solutions.
Khadas Mind Pro Mini PC: Compact Powerhouse with Panther Lake CPUs
The Khadas Mind Pro mini PC is scheduled for a gradual release in the first quarter of 2026. It will feature Intel’s latest Panther Lake Core Ultra X7 358H and Core Ultra X9 388H processors, integrating advanced Intel Arc graphics for improved entry-level discrete GPU performance. The Mind Pro’s modular design allows for easier upgrades, catering to users who value flexibility and future-proofing in their hardware.
Despite its powerful internals, the Mind Pro maintains a remarkably compact form factor, with a chassis volume of just 0.46 liters. Users can configure the system with up to 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 2 TB of NVMe storage, ensuring ample capacity for demanding applications. Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, each offering four PCIe 4.0 lanes, provide high-speed connectivity for peripherals and expansion options. Pricing details for the Mind Pro mini PC have not yet been announced.
Mind Graphics 2: Enhanced eGPU Dock with NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti
One of the standout features of the Mind Pro is its support for external GPUs via Thunderbolt 4. Khadas has updated its eGPU offering with the Mind Graphics 2 dock, now equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB graphics card. This upgrade delivers a significant boost in graphical performance for users who require additional power for creative, gaming, or professional workloads.
The Mind Graphics 2 dock and the Mind Pro mini PC are designed to work seamlessly together through Khadas’s proprietary Mind Link interface, which enables PCIe 4.0 x8 connectivity for optimal data transfer speeds. The Mind Pro can be securely docked atop the Mind Graphics 2 in a dedicated chassis recess, creating a streamlined and integrated desktop setup. The Mind Graphics 2 eGPU dock is currently available for $1,349.
Khadas xPlay: Portable Monitor for On-the-Go Productivity
For users who need a portable display solution, Khadas has introduced the xPlay monitor. Featuring a 2.8K resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio, the xPlay is designed for productivity and clarity. Its 47.94 Wh battery is capable of powering both the monitor and Khadas mini PCs, though actual battery life will depend on usage and device configuration.
The xPlay monitor connects to Mind mini PCs via the Mind Link port, offering a more integrated and tidy setup compared to standard USB-C monitors. It also supports USB-C connectivity for broader compatibility. The Khadas xPlay portable display is available for $99.
With these new additions, Khadas continues to push the boundaries of mini PC performance and modularity, offering users flexible solutions for both stationary and mobile computing needs.
