ThundeRobot Packs a 13th Gen Core Processor and RTX 4060 in 1.7 Liter Chassis
ThundeRobot, a major player in China's laptop market, is set to release a new PC console, the MIX, which shares striking similarities with Alienware's bygone Steam Machine. The console, equipped with Intel's 13th Gen Core CPU and Nvidia's RTX 4060 GPU, is set to debut on July 21st, predominantly targeting the Chinese market. Though not as familiar a brand outside Asia, ThundeRobot enjoys a significant market share in the region as the third-largest supplier of consumer notebooks and gaming peripherals. Its product catalog rivals brands like Asus and Razer, with offerings spanning custom-branded gaming notebooks to gaming monitors, keyboards, mice, and controllers.
The upcoming MIX console boasts a compact size, nearly 60% smaller than an Xbox Series S, at only 1.7 liters. Despite the uncertainty around whether the console's RTX 4060 GPU is a mobile or desktop variant, ThundeRobot brags that it would feature one or more of Intel's new 13th Gen Raptor Lake HX-series mobile CPUs. The console's matte black finish and triangular front-right indentation echo the design of Alienware's Steam Machine, suggesting that ThundeRobot may have drawn some inspiration from the Alienware console PC. Priced at around 6000 Yuan, approximately $830, the compact yet potent MIX console is expected to launch soon in China, with no current plans for release in the United States.

There are laptops with 13gen ans rtx 4060 which are more compact.
Good that there are coming out more stuff for customers from which to choose.
last time i checked, GIGABYTE G5 is the cheapest RTX 4060 laptop which is around 900$ but with 12gen not 13gen!
Maybe they will start releasing in the Us, since zotac has stopped making powerful boxes? Hopefully they come out with more powerful versions, since the GPU cannot be upgraded.It's tempting, the question remains about their longevity though. My desktops typically go 10 years before being retired. Will one of these last that long?
Fortunately this thing was intended for the chinzer market only, so hopefully this PR post is the last time we have to look at it !
