The Khadas Mind 2s is now available for sale. It's a modular mini PC that can be expanded with many accessories, some of which turn it into a laptop or even a well-performing workstation with a decent amount of GPU power.

Why not buy a new Mac Mini M4 for 680 bucks? or maybe two!

And if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.

$680 Mac Mini would get you 1/4 of the memory and SSD. Two would still be half. $2200+ for 48GB and 1TB.

SMH.

It doesn't have x86/amd64 compatibility for starters...

M4 Mac Mini is maxed out at 24gb unified RAM is next...

M4 Mac Mini Pro can get to 64 of non upgradeable unified memory, but starts at $2000...

So...

Many reasons...

I think the downfall of the Khadas mini-pc is the fact that they went w/ Intel instead of AMD. Its very clear that was a huge mistake on their part just from compute capability and effieincy for a small body

Cause this is even smaller than a Mac Mini, its intended to be brought around and can even run on batteries. Its fairly powerful but it could have been even more capable if it ran an AMD chip. The body is just slightly larger than a credit card
