As mini PCs get more capable and powerful, they make regular-size tower PC looks like relics. Oh, what? You are worried about the cooling of a gaming mini PC? Why should you? I mean, gaming laptops pulled it off, didn’t they? But if you aren’t still convinced, perhaps a liquid-cooled gaming mini PC such as the TECNO x GEEKOM MEGAMINI G1 should quell that heat-related insecurity. Granted, the MEGAMINI G1 isn’t quite a mini PC, mini PC. If you know what I mean. It is still ridiculously small for what it has to offer.
Billed as the world’s smallest liquid-cooled gaming mini PC, it is less than 6L in volume and within, it packs a 13th generation Core processor (i7-13620H or i9-13900H), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8G boasting 242 AI TOPS, an ultra-quiet liquid cooling system with dual industrial-grade fans, up to 64 GB dual-channel DDR5 5200 MHz memory, and M.2X2 Type 2280 Key M SSD—expandable up to 4 TB.
The rig further features no less than 15 ports, including OCulink, Type-C ports, an SD card slot, a bank USB A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 2.0, USB 3.0), an Ethernet 2.5G port, and HDMI ports.
Other features include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, support for over 240 AI Tools, AI-driven DLSS 3 technology, a 6,888 mm2 pure copper heat sink, a space-saving L-shaped radiator, and more.
The TECNO x GEEKOM MEGAMINI G1 Gaming Mini PC is not just for gaming; it is also optimized for video editing, 3D rendering, and more. Rounding up the package is a sleek, and futuristic aluminum alloy case with a real-time performance monitoring display. The rig is just 255 mm tall and has a tiny footprint of 150 x 150 mm. It weighs 3.7 kilograms.
TECNO has brought its pride and joy to IFA 2024. At the same time, the TECNO x GEEKOM MEGAMINI G1 Gaming Mini PC is being crowdfunded on Kickstarter where you can secure a unit for a super early bird price of US$1,599 (32 GB + 1 TB). The campaign has already met its funding goal, rolling over US$650,000 with more than 400 backers.
