Mini PCs are on the rise again, thanks to their compact space-saving design and powerful hardware. Unlike the tiny systems from a few years ago, Mini PCs can now pack cutting edge hardware. But some also play around with the design and functionality, with the Chatreey EX1 Mini PC being a perfect example. This tiny computer looks like a Bluetooth speaker and works like a Bluetooth speaker too.
Mini PC & Bluetooth Speakers in One?
We’ve seen PC makers be creative with case designs, but this one just takes things to the next level. The Chatreey EX1 Mini PC arrives with a chassis that is reminiscent of a typical cylindrical shaped wireless speaker, but the twist is that it actually houses audio components that basically have it double as a proper Bluetooth speaker.
The Chatreey EX1 houses 10W stereo speakers along with a mini subwoofer and a 24 bit DAC. In other words, the mini PC is a complete package since you have an integrated audio system. There is one catch though, despite how it looks, the Chatreey EX1 doesn’t have a battery pack, so you can only use it as a PC or speakers when you have a computer connected to a power source.
Talking about its specs, the EX1 is equipped with AMD’s Ryzen 7 8745HS CPU that also has a Radeon 780M integrated GPU. There are also 2x slots for SODIMM memory and 2x M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. You get a healthy selection of ports, including a USB 4 port, 3 USB-A ports, USB 2.0, HDMI 2.1 + DP 2.1, and an audio jack. Other notable features include Bluetooth 5 and WiFi 6. It starts at 479.97 US Dollars for the 32GB RAM + 1TB storage option.
