Strengths

  • OCuLink plus dual USB4 — the best eGPU and dock flexibility in its class
  • Three PCIe 4.0 SSD slots and up to 128 GB RAM
  • Integrated 135 W power supply keeps the desk free of power bricks
  • Strong cooling with moderate noise under sustained 54 W load
  • Dual 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7, fingerprint reader and stereo speakers

Trade-offs

  • Pre-built configs can ship with a single SODIMM, hurting CPU and iGPU performance
  • Barely faster than the HX 370 version of the same chassis
  • Only three USB-A ports, and the SD card reader is slow
  • High DPC latencies reported — not ideal for real-time audio work
Best Suited For

Compact AI workstation and desktop replacement: local LLMs, development, light 1440p gaming — with an OCuLink eGPU path for serious gaming.

Check before you buy
  • Buy barebone or add a second identical SODIMM so the memory runs dual-channel.
  • If the HX 370 AI X1 Pro is significantly cheaper, it offers almost identical performance.
  • Plan your OCuLink eGPU dock and power supply separately — the internal 135 W PSU only powers the mini PC.
