Khadas is jumping into the spotlight at CES 2026 with its newest compact powerhouse, the Khadas Mind Pro. Built around Intel’s next-generation Panther Lake platform, this mini PC is now open for pre-orders, and early buyers can grab it for less for a limited time.
From January 27 through March 27, 2026, Khadas is offering a special launch price for the Mind Pro configuration featuring the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, 64GB of LPDDR5x memory, and a fast 2TB NVMe SSD. During the promo window, it costs $1,799, which is $200 off the regular $1,999 price.
Khadas also hints that the Core Ultra X7 model may not be the only option on the roadmap. A more affordable 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD version is planned for later, and there may even be a higher-tier option with up to 96GB of RAM paired with the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H. Pricing for these future configurations hasn’t been shared yet, but it’s clear the company is aiming to cover both value-focused buyers and power users who want maximum headroom in a tiny PC.
What makes the Mind Pro especially interesting is its integrated graphics potential. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H comes with the Arc B390 iGPU, which delivers performance in the neighborhood of an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU in testing. That puts the Mind Pro in a strong position for a mini PC: expect smooth gameplay in many modern AAA titles at 1080p, and in a number of cases even up to 1440p with the right settings. For users who want a compact system that can handle productivity, creation work, and real gaming without a bulky desktop tower, that’s a major selling point.
If integrated graphics still isn’t enough, Khadas is also pushing an external GPU route through its Mind Graphics 2 Dock. This optional eGPU dock includes an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti desktop GPU with 16GB of VRAM and connects to the Mind Pro using the company’s own Mind Link connection. It’s designed for anyone who wants a small everyday PC that can quickly turn into a more serious gaming or rendering machine when docked.
There is one important detail for bandwidth-minded buyers, though. The Mind Pro’s connection is limited to native PCIe 5.0 x4 bandwidth, while the previous-generation Mind 2S could reach PCIe 5.0 x8. The reason comes down to PCIe lane support on the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H compared to the older chip used in the Mind 2S. Even so, the Mind Pro still supports PCIe 4.0 x8, which should keep it very viable for eGPU use in real-world scenarios.
With its Panther Lake CPU, strong Arc integrated graphics, up to 64GB RAM in the current pre-order model, and the option to scale up graphics power through a dedicated dock, the Khadas Mind Pro is shaping up to be one of the more performance-focused mini PCs arriving in 2026—especially for users who want desktop-like capability in a compact footprint.
