With the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, users can expect fast and efficient processing capabilities.
Technological Advancements in Miniature PCs
With all the flashy powerful hardware out there, it's easy to forget technological advancements in the PC space are all about things getting smaller. We've managed to cram down what would once be a whole room of processing power into handheld portables and mini ITX wonders. Miniaturising tech is a sure sign of advancement, which is why things like this new little unit from Aoostar (pronunciation at your discretion) packing a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 are always so exciting to see.
Aoostar's G-Flip 370 Announcement
Videocardz spotted Aoostar's G-Flip 370 announcement, which showed off the little beast as the next in the company's lineup of mini PCs. Aoostar is known for making these boxy, palmable units that punch far above their weight specwise. This one looks like a significant step up thanks to its removable memory, included flip-up screen, and of course that impressive mobile Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU with Radeon 890M integrated graphics.
Performance and Specs
While some claims around its high-performance video editing and 3D modeling capabilities may be dubious, the specs point to a very nice little mini PC unit. It may not play Monster Hunter Wilds in 4K at 160 fps, but it could manage its boast of running League of Legends in 4k at 90 fps.
Additional Features and Connectivity
The G-Flip 370 sports a nice collection of ports including HDMI 2.1 and Oculink for visuals, or you could just remote in. It has dual 2.5 G Ethernet ports, supports Wi-Fi 7, and offers a few USB connections on both the back and front of the box. There's even a fingerprint scanner next to the flip-up screen for easy sign-in.
Display and Nostalgia
Screens aren't a common inclusion in mini PCs, but having one included on a mini PC like this feels really handy for basics. Plus, its flip-up aesthetic makes it reminiscent of the Game Boy SP, evoking some nostalgia gaming vibes. However, proper testing for gaming performance would be essential before giving it the stamp of approval.
Launch and Pricing
The Aooster G-Flip 370 is set to launch mid-March, and it will be interesting to see where it sits in terms of pricing compared to Aooster's other mini PCs which cap out at around $700 USD. Pricing could determine the feasibility of this miniature beast.
