I tested a mini PC as quiet as the Mac mini but as expandable as a desktop — and it’s this close to greatness

The Minix Elite EU715-AI on a table.

The Minix Elite EU715-AI is one of the rare mini PCs that manages to pack high-end performance into an absolutely tiny chassis without compromising on cooling or noise. At just over an inch and a half tall, it barely takes up any room on your desk, and yet, despite its small size, it runs nearly silent.

Minix didn’t cut corners here either. Instead of using an underpowered processor for the sake of going smaller, the PC maker equipped the Elite EU715-AI with one of Intel’s Meteor Lake chips, along with enough RAM and storage to handle most workloads. However, if you need more, you can always open this mini PC up and easily upgrade it.
