Minisforum has lifted the curtain on the MS-02 Ultra, a compact powerhouse built for creators, tinkerers, and anyone who wants serious performance in a small footprint. Confirmed on the brand’s official social channels, the mini PC packs standout expansion, high-speed connectivity, and a maintenance-friendly design inside a 4.8-liter chassis.
Highlights that stand out:
– Four M.2 2280 slots supporting up to 32 TB of solid-state storage
– Three PCIe slots for versatile expansion
– 25 Gigabit Ethernet for ultra-fast wired networking
– Two 80 Gbps USB V2 ports for high-bandwidth peripherals
– Slide-out design for quick, easy maintenance and upgrades
The MS-02 Ultra has already earned recognition as a CES Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree in the Computer Hardware & Components category. That nod strongly suggests the system will be showcased in Las Vegas this January as part of the brand’s CES presence. It also signals a release window: Minisforum refers to the MS-02 Ultra as a “Mini AI workstation,” with availability planned for the beginning of next year.
If you’ve been waiting for a small-form-factor PC that blends serious storage capacity, robust expansion, and modern I/O, put the MS-02 Ultra on your radar. Expect more details as CES approaches, with sales to follow early next year.
