Lenovo has launched the Lecoo AI Mini, a compact mini PC that focuses less on integrated graphics or AI branding and more on connectivity and a very small footprint.
Inside is an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U with six cores, paired with 16GB of DDR4, a 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD, and a second M.2 slot for storage expansion. Lenovo appears to be positioning it against a crowded field of Chinese mini PCs that are often cheaper but less well equipped.
The chassis measures 128.4 x 128.4 x 47.5 mm and uses active cooling with a fan and two heat pipes. Wireless connectivity is limited to Wi‑Fi 5 (802.11ac), but the wired I/O is stronger than usual for this size.

Ports include:
- Front: two USB-A 5Gbps ports, one USB-C 5Gbps port, and a 3.5mm audio jack
- Rear: two Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) ports, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.2, and two USB-A ports with speeds up to 480Mbps
In China, the Lecoo AI Mini is priced at 2,999 yuan, or roughly $440. That does not make it especially cheap next to systems from Beelink, Minisforum, and similar brands, but the combination of dual Ethernet and two SSD slots could matter more than a lower sticker price for buyers who want a small work PC without obvious compromises.
