- The new Lenovo Yoga Mini i weighs only 600g and supports four high-resolution displays
- Intel Core Ultra X7 358H Processors Handle Multitasking and AI Workloads
- Memory scales up to 32GB LPDDR5X for fast, large data set processing
At CES 2026, Lenovo introduced the Yoga Mini i (1L, 11), an ultra-compact cylindrical PC that weighs just 600g, making it the smallest entry in its portable desktop lineup.
This device uses an aluminum casing, offering a balance between portability and rigidity that suits professional and AI-based workflows.
Lenovo says it supports up to four high-resolution external displays simultaneously, which is impressive for a device of this size.
Performance and processing power
The Yoga Mini i also functions as a Copilot+ PC, enabling integrated AI-assisted operations for productivity and multitasking.
It is equipped with Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processors and offers enough performance to handle demanding applications.
Memory can be configured up to 32 GB of LPDDR5x at 8533 MT/s, providing fast access speeds for large data sets and multitasking scenarios.
Storage options include up to 2TB PCIe Gen4 M.2, which aligns with small form factor workstations that aim to offer near-desktop capacity.
Its graphics are based on a UMA design, which can handle general AI tasks and multimedia work, although it will likely struggle with heavier GPU-accelerated workloads.
The Yoga Mini i offers an unusually extensive array of ports for a device its size.
At the rear, it includes a Thunderbolt 4 port with 5V3A power delivery, two USB-C 3.2 Gen2 ports, including support for a 100W adapter, a USB-A 3.2 Gen2 port, HDMI 2.1 TMDS, and a 2.5G RJ45 LAN connection.
The side includes a combo audio jack, an additional Thunderbolt 4 port with Power Delivery support, and a power button with fingerprint authentication.
Wireless connectivity comes via Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. Audio output is limited, consisting of a single 2W speaker paired with a built-in dual microphone array for basic conferencing and voice input.
Measuring 130x130x48.6mm, the Yoga Mini i is a mobile workstation that’s easy to move between desks or take on the go.
The Yoga Mini i doesn’t outperform the ThinkCentre M75n Nano Desktop, which is still smaller and more power efficient, while offering similar performance to AMD Ryzen 5 PRO processors.
Lenovo’s decision not to revive the M75n leaves a void in the market for ultra-compact PCs that combine high efficiency with the smallest possible footprint.
In practice, the Yoga Mini i is a capable mini PC, although some users may still prefer the more minimal Nano form factor for extreme portability.
