The Lenovo Yoga Mini PC, featuring the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor and 32GB of soldered DDR5X-8533 RAM, delivers high-end performance suitable for demanding tasks like video editing and gaming. In testing, the device maintained over 60 frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p low settings and achieved a 3DMark Time Spy score of 7,334, rivaling older dedicated gaming machines while maintaining high power efficiency. The unit includes a 2.5Gb Ethernet port, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and two USB-C ports, supporting five independent display outputs. While the internal SSD is accessible for upgrades, the process requires a specialized suction tool to remove the lid. The device also includes a customizable LED base and integrated AI-driven software for lighting and interaction control. The system supports both Windows and Linux, with the latter showing slightly lower power consumption at idle. Despite its compact size, the device operates quietly under heavy load, with thermal testing showing a stable temperature of 73°C.
