Lenovo has opened wider sales of the Yoga Mini i Gen 11, bringing its compact desktop PC to the UK, Europe, and Australia after earlier availability in China. Prices start at £900 in the UK, making it one of the first globally available mini PCs built around Intel’s Panther Lake platform.
Buyers can choose between Intel Core Ultra 5 325 and Core Ultra X7 358H processors, giving users multiple options within Intel’s latest mobile CPU family. The higher-end X7 version also carries faster Intel Arc integrated graphics, giving the small desktop more headroom for media work, multitasking, and light gaming than entry-level mini PCs, especially for buyers considering graphics-ready compact systems. Lenovo rates the onboard NPU at up to 50 TOPS, placing the system in the Copilot+ PC category.
Memory comes with 32GB LPDDR5X-8533, while SSD storage offers up to 2TB depending on configuration, which places it among premium high-memory mini desktops. Lenovo also includes M.2 2230 and M.2 2280 expansion support, an important advantage in a market where many ultra-small desktops limit upgrade options.
Despite its size, the Yoga Mini i Gen 11 carries a broad range of ports. It can drive up to four displays through dual Thunderbolt 4 connections, USB-C, and HDMI 2.1, making it appealing for multi-screen productivity setups. Additional connectivity includes USB-A ports, RJ45 Ethernet, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, making it suitable for office desks, creator setups, or multi-monitor home workstations.
Wireless support includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, matching connectivity upgrades now reaching newer desktop hardware. Lenovo also pairs the hardware with a 45W thermal design and internal blower fan to keep performance steady during longer workloads.
The chassis measures 130 x 130 x 48.5 mm and starts at 600g. Its round aluminum design stands apart from the square box layouts common in the mini PC segment, giving the system a cleaner desktop look while keeping the footprint small.
Extra features include a fingerprint reader built into the power button, human presence detection, walk-away lock support, dual microphones, a built-in 2W speaker, Lenovo Smart Connect, and Lenovo AI Turbo Engine software tools. A 100W USB-C power adapter is included in the box.
Regional pricing starts at £900 in the UK, €1,109 across parts of Europe, and AUD 2,099 in Australia for Core Ultra 5 trims. Higher-end Core Ultra X7 models cost more depending on memory and storage. Lenovo has not yet confirmed retail availability in North America.
For buyers comparing Mac mini alternatives, the Yoga Mini i Gen 11 stands out with easier storage expansion, four-display support, Wi-Fi 7, and a more distinctive chassis.
