Miniform launched its new M1 Lite mini computer to provide an economical and excellent option for users in global markets. This very compact device features dimensions of only 130 x 126 x 50 mm to save work space, and comes equipped with advanced USB4 ports with the ability to upgrade the RAM quite easily by users, representing a strong addition to the company’s device series thanks to its competitive price that starts at a little more than 300 US dollars.
This new version represents an important update to the M1 series of mini computers, which are based on powerful Intel processors. This step comes after the launch of the M1 Plus model during December 2025, which was based on Alder Lake-H processors, while the latest version is moving to rely on the advanced Meteor Lake-U platform by using the Core Ultra 5 125U processor to provide an ideal balance between powerful performance and energy efficiency in a compact device.
This innovative computer relies on a 12-core processor with a power of 35 watts to ensure that daily tasks are completed smoothly. Although it contains an integrated graphics processing unit with only four cores, the company compensated for this by including an advanced USB4 port that allows connecting external graphics cards to meet the requirements of gamers, in addition to providing two M.2 2280 slots and slots for expanding DDR5-5600 random memory to reach a maximum capacity of 96 GB.
The device uses a very effective and active cooling system that maintains low temperatures and operates completely quietly with a noise level of less than 45 decibels, even under maximum pressure. The price of this small desktop computer starts at $311 in the United States as a basic system devoid of storage space, RAM, and the operating system, while an integrated version equipped with 512 GB of storage space, 16 GB of RAM, and Windows 11 Pro system is available at a price of $615.
This economic device is offered in many global markets at varying prices to suit different local currencies. The basic version retails for £279 in the UK, €329 in the Eurozone, CAD$426 in Canada and AU$439 in Australia, while the pre-equipped version costs £569, €659, CAD$842 and AU$879 to provide flexible options to meet the needs of all budgets.
