This ultra-compact device will carry powerful hardware despite being so small, and will have all the modern connectivity.
FEVM is Reportedly Preparing an Ultra-Portable and Thin Panther Lake-Based Device; Brings Dual LAN Ports, 3x M.2 Slots, and Dual-Fan Cooling
FEVM's new prototype doesn't look like a mini PC because it's incredibly smaller than conventional mini PCs. This even appears smaller than the ultra-compact form-factor mini PCs, as it measures just under 2 CM thick. While the information is not official, the leaker @94G8LA says this device will be powered by a Panther Lake processor, rated at 55W. So, it's most likely going to utilize budget Core Ultra Series 3 processors such as Core Ultra 5 335, Ultra 5 332, or Ultra 5 322.
Being incredibly compact brings challenges, such as deploying a capable cooling solution, which isn't visible on this device. But the leaker says that this device does bring a dual-fan cooling solution, which should be visible at the base. From the top, it might appear like a SATA SSD, but it's a full-fledged computer that can work similarly to regular PCs. The FEVM Panther Lake mini PC is reportedly offering several USB ports, including Type-A and Type-C.
There are reportedly two Thunderbolt4 ports, and the device also brings 100W power delivery support for charging devices. There are 3x M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs, including one Gen 5.0 x4 and two Gen 4.0 slots (1x 4.0 x4 port with Oculink adapter and the other works at 4.0 x2 mode). Surprisingly, it features dual LAN ports, supporting 10G and 2.5G connectivity.
The device measures just 169 x 108 x 19 mm, which can fit in a loose pocket and will be much easier to carry than a conventional mini PC. The FEVM Panther Lake device appears well-suited for a portable setup, though it remains to be seen how much system memory it will offer and what its final price will be.
