Lenovo Yoga Mini Intel Panther Lake deal, Digi Mart USA News: Lenovo released the Yoga Mini earlier this year as a 0.65-liter Windows mini PC powered by Intel’s Panther Lake processors. As part of an early Black Friday sale, Best Buy has reduced the price of the base model with the Core Ultra 5 325 by $460.
The price falls from $1,059.99 to $599.99, the lowest level since the device launched, according to the report. The base configuration pairs an 8-core Panther Lake processor with 16 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory and 512 GB of storage.
The chip includes an integrated GPU and a built-in NPU rated at up to 47 TOPS for local AI tasks.
The publisher, Notebookcheck, says the base model looks like good value for a small desktop used for everyday work, and that it can also handle moderately demanding tasks such as coding and photo editing. The article notes that higher-end Yoga Mini models use Intel’s 16-core Core Ultra X7 358H and Arc B390 graphics, and that one such model is listed at $1,599.99 at Lenovo after a 25% discount.
The report highlights features on the chassis, including an RGB underglow that can be toggled by tapping the top of the cylindrical aluminum body, file sharing, and Lenovo’s Qira AI Assistant. Two built-in microphones are included for meetings and for interacting with the AI assistant.
Connectivity includes one USB-A port, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two 10 Gbps USB-C ports, HDMI 2.1, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The Notebookcheck article also says the device supports Wi-Fi sensing, which can wake or dim the display as a user approaches or steps away from the desk. Notebookcheck notes that retailers set their own prices and that the deal may be time-limited or subject to limited stock.
