Lenovo has expanded the availability of its compact Yoga Mini i Gen 11, a powerful new mini PC built around Intel’s Panther Lake platform. After first appearing at Best Buy in the US earlier this summer, the tiny desktop is now listed directly through Lenovo in both the United States and Canada, giving buyers another option in the growing premium mini PC market.
Despite its extremely small footprint, the Yoga Mini i Gen 11 packs serious hardware. The currently available configuration features an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor, which combines 16 CPU cores with Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics. Lenovo pairs the chip with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB M.2 2280 SSD using PCIe Gen 4 storage, making the system suitable for productivity, multitasking, media work, and everyday desktop use in a compact setup.
One of the biggest highlights is the size. The Yoga Mini i Gen 11 fits into a 0.65-liter chassis measuring just 130 x 130 x 48.6 mm. That makes it small enough to sit discreetly on a desk, fit into a home office, or serve as a minimalist workstation without taking up the space of a traditional desktop tower.
However, the price may give some buyers pause. Lenovo currently lists the Core Ultra X7 358H version at $2,086 in the US and CAD 2,899 in Canada. That positions the Yoga Mini i Gen 11 as a premium mini PC and makes it notably more expensive than Apple’s M6-based Mac mini, which remains one of its most obvious competitors in the compact desktop space.
Earlier listings showed that a more affordable Intel Core Ultra 5 325 version was also planned, but Lenovo has not yet made that model available directly. It is also unclear why Lenovo’s US pricing for the Core Ultra X7 358H configuration is higher than the price previously seen through Best Buy.
For users looking for a small but capable Windows mini PC with next-generation Intel hardware, the Lenovo Yoga Mini i Gen 11 could be an appealing option. Its combination of a compact design, 32 GB of memory, fast 1 TB SSD storage, and Intel Arc integrated graphics makes it a strong candidate for those who want desktop-class performance without a bulky PC case. Still, its high launch price means shoppers may want to compare it carefully with other premium mini PCs before buying.
