Khadas Mind Pro Review: A Tiny Workhorse That Transforms into an RTX-Powered Gaming Rig

Khadas is pushing its compact mini PC lineup into more serious performance territory with the Khadas Mind Pro, a new high-end model built around the latest hardware. Designed for people who want a small workstation-style PC without giving up speed, the Mind Pro pairs a modern Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor with 64 GB of RAM and a fast 2 TB SSD—specs that clearly place it in the premium mini PC category.

For buyers who want different performance levels, Khadas is also offering additional configurations. Alongside the model described here, there’s a higher-tier option featuring the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H and 96 GB of RAM. If you’d rather save money while keeping the same CPU family, there’s also a trimmed version with the Core Ultra X7 358H and 32 GB of RAM. Storage remains consistent across the range at 2 TB, making it straightforward for anyone who needs plenty of local space for projects, media libraries, or large software installs.

One of the biggest upgrades is graphics. The Mind Pro moves to an Intel Arc integrated GPU based on the Xe3 architecture, delivering a noticeable performance jump compared to earlier Mind models. That improvement broadens what this tiny PC can handle: everyday office work and streaming are easy, but it’s also better suited to 3D workloads and light gaming, as long as you’re willing to adjust settings for smoother performance.

Even with the higher performance ceiling, the Mind Pro keeps the signature compact form factor that makes mini PCs appealing in the first place. The chassis has only grown slightly, sticks to a premium metal build, and stays compatible with existing accessories. That compatibility matters because the Mind series stands out with a modular ecosystem that can transform the machine depending on how you use it.

Optional add-ons can expand the Mind Pro from a clean desk-friendly computer into something closer to a full desktop replacement or even a gaming-focused setup. Accessories such as the Mind Dock add connectivity, while external modules like Mind Graphics can bring dedicated GPU power. The current Mind Graphics 2 module is built around an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 16 GB of VRAM and also adds useful extra ports and integrated speakers, turning the Mind Pro into a much more capable system for GPU-heavy tasks.

Efficiency is another strong point. In testing, the Mind Pro is described as efficient and comparatively quiet, helped by a revised cooling solution aimed at keeping heat and fan noise under control. There’s also a practical built-in battery, which extends standby time and can even keep the system running briefly without a power adapter—handy for quick moves between rooms, meeting setups, or short interruptions.

That said, the small design comes with the usual trade-offs. Upgrade options are limited because key components like RAM and Wi‑Fi are integrated rather than easily replaceable. And pricing is firmly in premium territory at around $1,799, continuing a trend seen in earlier models in the series.

Overall, the Khadas Mind Pro targets users who want a powerful, modern mini PC with high RAM capacity, fast storage, improved integrated graphics, and the flexibility of a modular expansion ecosystem—provided they’re comfortable paying flagship pricing and living with restricted upgradability.
