Minisforum unveiled a host of new products during CES 2026, and while a number of them were previously announced, the EliteMini M2 Pro stood out as a surprise addition to the company’s lineup. This small-sized computer is based on the all-new Panther Lake processors, with a higher class available equipped with the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H processor.
This model is considered a high-performance option, as it comes with an integrated Arc B390 graphics processor. According to preliminary tests, the performance of this graphics processor is close to the RTX 4050 card intended for laptops, which makes the EliteMini M2 Pro a suitable choice for a 1080p gaming experience. In addition, the device supports connecting an external graphics card via USB4 ports.
The ports available on the device include:
- Three USB4/Thunderbolt 4 ports
- One HDMI port
- One DisplayPort
- 2.5G LAN network port
- 10G LAN port
- 2 USB Type-A ports (likely USB 3.2 Gen 2)
The company also confirmed the availability of a lower version that comes with an Arc 370 graphics processor and is based on the Intel Core Ultra 5 338H processor. Minisforum indicated that the system can be equipped with LPDDR5x memory of up to 96 GB, at speeds of up to 9600 MT/s.
In terms of design, the device appears close to the AI X1 Pro computer, with an elegant structure and compact size, according to a quick presentation during CES 2026.
So far, the company has not announced the official launch date or pricing details, but the display of the device at the exhibition indicates that it is close to being launched on the market.
