Xiaomi NUC small chassis desktop computer exposure

As we all know, Xiaomi is a grocery store in the tech world because he sells everything, from household items to digital appliances, but only not desktop computers. But that convention will soon be broken once again, as tech blogger @Techman recently revealed Xiaomi's quasi-system small-chassis desktop PCs, at least two of which are PC designs that were originally scheduled to be revealed at a Xiaomi event on December 1 for its planned launch (postponed for some reason). While we wait for the new date to be scheduled, the two PC designs were shown to select followers ahead of schedule.

What we can gather from the photos includes that this desktop supports a Mini-ITX motherboard with a dedicated GPU that may be a half-height dual slot, but it's not quite clear how the dedicated GPU will work with the 100W power supply, but perhaps it's not the final or only power supply unit in the configuration. The back of the case also has a custom board depicting a combination of the Windows key and the "M" key. Perhaps Xiaomi is planning to override the Windows key combination and do some customization to it (the original key combination usually minimizes all windows).

Another interesting thing is the mechanical keyboard switch mounted on the back of the Host Mini PC. We weren't able to determine what it does, but the leaked photos include an accessory kit with a keycap for the aforementioned button, so it may be editable for functionality.

Another machine we have more information about it. It is a desktop in a micro case, similar in size to the Mac Mini from Intel NUC. It comes with a built-in AMDRyzen 7 6800H APU, a 45W-powered chip with a Radeon 680M RDNA2 iGPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GBSSD. It's rumored to be priced at 3,999 RMB.
