AOOSTAR Launches GEM 12 Pro Max Mini PC with Impressive Specifications and Features
AOOSTAR has unveiled the GEM 12 Pro Max, an addition to its growing lineup of mini PCs. Combining a compact design with powerful hardware, this model introduces some unique features, including a built-in display and a fingerprint scanner, distinguishing it from the competition in the mini PC market.
At the heart of the GEM 12 Pro Max lies the Ryzen 7 8845HS "Hawk Point" APU, a high-performance processor with 8 cores and 16 threads. This APU delivers capabilities comparable to the Ryzen 7 7840HS, ensuring a robust performance profile for a wide range of applications. The system also incorporates the Radeon 780M integrated GPU, which handles graphical tasks efficiently in the absence of discrete graphics hardware. To sustain this level of performance, the GEM 12 Pro Max is equipped with a robust cooling solution, ensuring consistent operation even under demanding workloads.
The GEM 12 Pro Max is outfitted with a variety of connectivity options to cater to diverse usage scenarios. It features dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, dual 2.5 G Ethernet ports, and dual USB4 Type-C ports, offering fast and flexible data transfer capabilities. For display output, the system supports HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, enabling seamless connections to modern monitors and TVs. Additionally, the inclusion of an OCuLink connector facilitates high-speed external GPU (eGPU) connections, compensating for the absence of built-in discrete graphics.
Storage and wireless capabilities are equally impressive. The GEM 12 Pro Max mini PC includes dual M.2 2280 NVMe slots for expandable storage and supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, ensuring fast and reliable wireless connectivity.
The GEM 12 Pro Max is priced at approximately $320 for the barebones version, making it an attractive option for DIY enthusiasts looking to customize their setup. For users seeking a complete solution, the high-end configuration with 32 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD is available for $470. While a global launch has not yet been confirmed, the device is already generating interest among mini PC enthusiasts due to its feature set and competitive pricing.
With its combination of cutting-edge hardware and thoughtful design elements, the GEM 12 Pro Max continues AOOSTAR's tradition of delivering high-performance solutions in a compact form factor.
