AOOSTAR made the GEM10 370 official a week ago, one of the first Strix Point mini PCs. It features the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, the current top-of-the-line processor in the lineup. While it’s great to see this performance-focused CPU with the Radeon 890M coming to mini PCs, it looks like these compact computers won’t be affordable.
Specifically, AOOSTAR has started taking pre-orders for the GEM10 370 in China, and the variant with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage has an initial price of CNY 5,699, which translates to around $808. Of course, that’s still cheaper than the most affordable Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 laptop you can buy right now, which happens to be the ProArt PX13 with RTX 4050 at $1,699.99.
However, compared to some high-end Hawk Point or Phoenix Point mini PCs, this ~$808 pre-order for the GEM10 370 is very expensive. For reference, you can currently get the Geekom AE7 with Ryzen 9 7940HS, 32GB RAM, and 1TB for $699. Another thing to note is that the ~$808 price is a pre-order price, and the retail price will be much higher.
Additionally, Chinese prices are generally lower than international units, so it’s likely that the exact configuration of the AOOSTAR GEM10 370 will sell for around $1,000 or more on the global market. But again, these are prices for the very first Strix Point mini PC models, and it’s possible that we’ll see slightly more affordable options announced in the coming days.
