AOOSTAR has unveiled its latest mini PC, the Gem 12 Pro Max. This compact device blends modern looks with some unique features, like a built-in display and a handy fingerprint scanner, making it stand out in the crowded world of mini PCs.
Strong Performance in a Small Package
At the heart of the Aoostar Gem 12 Pro Max is the Ryzen 7 8845HS processor, also known as “Hawk Point.” With 8 cores and 16 threads, it offers powerful performance comparable to the well-known Ryzen 7 7840HS. While it doesn’t have a separate graphics card, the built-in Radeon 780M graphics is more than capable for everyday tasks and light gaming. To ensure it stays cool, AOOSTAR has included a robust cooling system that keeps everything running smoothly.

Pricing and Availability
The barebones version, which requires you to add your own memory and storage, is priced at $320. If you want a fully loaded version with 32 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD, it will cost $470. While there’s no word yet on a global release, the Gem 12 Pro Max is already turning heads among mini PC enthusiasts.
