AOOSTAR has officially opened pre-orders for its highly anticipated GEM10 370 mini PCs, stirring excitement among tech enthusiasts. One of the first Strix Point mini PCs to hit the market, the GEM10 370 is equipped with the formidable AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU, promising impressive performance from a compact device. Paired with a Radeon 890M, this mini PC aims to deliver a robust computing experience.
For those in the Chinese market, AOOSTAR has listed the 32 GB RAM and 1 TB storage variant at a pre-order price of CNY 5,699, approximately $808. This price, while lower than many high-end laptops featuring the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, such as the ProArt PX13 with RTX 4050 priced at $1,699.99, still seems steep compared to other mini PCs. For instance, you can find the Geekom AE7 featuring a Ryzen 9 7940HS with the same memory and storage capacity for just $699.
It’s important to note that the $808 price tag for the GEM10 370 is for pre-orders, and the retail price is expected to be even higher. Prices in China also tend to be lower compared to international markets, suggesting that the global price for this mini PC could top $1,000. This makes the GEM10 370 potentially pricey on a global scale, especially when its competitors offer similar or better specs at lower prices.
However, being one of the earliest models of Strix Point mini PCs, the GEM10 370 could pave the way for more affordable options in the future. As the lineup expands, tech enthusiasts might see a wider range of choices that cater to different budgets.
As AOOSTAR moves forward with its Strix Point series, it will be interesting to see how prices and configurations evolve. For now, the GEM10 370 stands as a powerful, albeit expensive, option for those looking to experience high-end performance in a mini PC format.
