- Thunderobot Station is a cubic desktop with front SD and USB ports
- Ryzen AI Max+ 395 targets sustained workloads above maximum performance
- Thunderobot Station is designed to remain visible and be actively used
Thunderobot has begun to gain momentum ahead of CES 2026, confirming the arrival of another system based on AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor.
The device, known as the Thunderobot Station, takes the form of a compact, cube-shaped desktop computer rather than a traditional tower or laptop format.
This announcement adds to the growing list of Ryzen AI Max+ 395-based devices expected to appear at the show, suggesting broader vendor adoption of this generation of APUs.

Thunderobot describes the station as an AI-focused mini PC designed for sustained workloads and long-term stability rather than peak performance.
According to the official trailer posted on Thunderobot’s Weibo account (originally in Chinese), the Thunderobot Station includes a variety of front ports for easy access.
It features two standard USB-A ports, one USB-C port, an SD card slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
A circular power button sits above the ports, allowing for quick operation without having to touch the chassis.
Its cube-shaped cabinet measures approximately 3 liters in volume, making it easy to integrate into limited desktop setups.
The design also suggests that the device can maintain enough airflow for the processor and internal components.
What’s unclear is to what extent Thunderobot intends to boost the platform in practical terms.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 can maintain higher operating levels than most mobile-class implementations, but that advantage only appears if your system configuration allows it.
With no power targets or thermal limits revealed, the station’s actual differentiation remains unproven.
Although the design suggests that the device should remain visible and actively used, unlike normal mini PCs designed for small spaces, this intention is not yet confirmed.
At CES 2026, which will be held from January 6 to 9 in Las Vegas, Thunderobot will officially announce the full specifications of the device.
The event will also feature three other devices, including the ZERO Air gaming laptop with Intel’s next-generation Panther Lake processor, the ultralight aibook14 Pro laptop with carbon fiber chassis, and the MIX G2 desktop with discrete graphics and a compact chassis.
