MSI has officially unveiled the specifications of its new AI-centric mini PC line-up that is being debuted at CES 2026. The new line-up offers something for everyone—as long as you're looking to run local LLMs or similar AI workloads—whether you're looking for a hyper-compact x86 system powered by AMD's RDNA 3.5, a more powerful NVIDIA RTX 5070, or something more exotic with NVIDIA's new Arm-based DGX Spark platform.

Perhaps the most interesting mini PC that MSI is showing off at CES is the EdgeXpert, which is targeted at AI developers and is built on NVIDIA's DGX Spark platform. In the EdgeXpert, which was announced earlier this year, that means 20 Arm CPU cores and an AI Blackwell GPU as well as NVIDIA's NVLink C2C tech, which claims to offer "five times the bandwidth of PCIe 5.0," for improved data transfer and sharing between the CPU and GPU. According to MSI, the EdgeXpert is capable of a petaFLOP of AI performance. It also features 128 GB of LPDDR5x unified system memory and a vapor chamber cooling system.
