Vzmore launches a new mini PC, called the iX9, that’s aimed at those who want strong processing power but don’t want it to take up a lot of space. This new mini PC is designed for professionals and hobbyists that need a powerful CPU to get their work done, but don’t want it to take up a ton of space on their desk. The new device packs a high-end processor into a compact device that can fit on a desk, or behind a monitor.

New mini PC features Intel Core Ultra 9, 24GB RAM, and dual 2.5GbE ports

The new mini PC uses an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor. This is a decent CPU for productivity or other tasks that need a lot of processing power. To help things along, the device has 24GB of LPDDR5 RAM for multitasking. Plus, it has an 8-core Intel Arc GPU inside that’s integrated and good enough for light gaming and some other tasks that may require a bit more GPU power.

Specifications

  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 185H
  • RAM: 24GB LPDDR5
  • Storage: 1TB SSD (pre-installed), 2x M.2 slots (up to 8TB each)
  • Connectivity: WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, USB4, 2.5GbE
  • Ports: 5x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1x USB 2.0 Type-A, 2x USB4, 2x 2.5GbE, 2x HDMI 2.0, 1x 3.5mm audio, 1x SD card slot

When it comes to wireless connectivity, this mini PC has WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for the latest standards. But on the wired side, you have two USB4 ports that can be used for eGPU expansion. As well as two 2.5GbE Ethernet ports for solid connectivity. Along with those ports, you have five USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 2.0 Type-A port, two HDMI 2.0 ports, a 3.5mm audio jack, and an SD card reader.

For storage, you can choose from a 1TB SSD that’s installed in the device. Plus, it has two additional M.2 slots for more storage. You can pop an M.2 drive in each slot that is up to 8TB in size.

Vzmore says the max storage you can have is 5TB, but based on the M.2 slots, that seems a bit low. You also have a cooling system that can give you a 65W performance mode to keep your processor speeds up when you’re using it.

The iX9 comes in just one configuration, so the retail price is $949 USD or so. But until November 1, 2026, you can get it for $50 off, which makes it a bit cheaper initially. So if you’re in the US or worldwide, and want a high-spec mini PC, this is available now.
