FEVM mini PC with RTX 4090 Laptop GPU and larger enclosure might be in development, claims supplier

When it comes to mini PCs, it is common for these compact and efficiency-first systems to not include discrete graphics at all, instead relying on integrated graphics owing to their power and thermal limitations. However, there are quite a few mini PCs on the market that are willing to boast discrete graphics, which typically come at the cost of increased size.

FEVM's FN60G mini PC, which was launched in the holiday season of last year, is one such contendor that packs beefy discrete graphics in a form factor that closely mimics the Mac Studio. However, unlike the FN60G's upgradeable socketed CPU, its GPU had to be selected at the time of purchase and could not be upgraded down the line. The most powerful GPU that the system could be equipped with was the RTX 4060 Laptop - a decently powerful GPU, and within the confines of a compact mini PC's thermal and power budget.

However, a Reddit user who had the opportunity to speak with a FEVM supplier, revealed that the company is working on a much larger mini PC with a 4-liter chassis, that will reportedly even arrive with a variant that will sport the RTX 4090 Laptop GPU - a massive step up from the current most powerful GPU offered in the FN60G.

As per our testing, the RTX 4090 Laptop GPU is almost 75% more powerful than the RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, while also being significantly more power-hungry and difficult to manage thermally. The bigger enclosure of FEVM's upcoming mini PC should likely be able to handle the power and thermal demands of the RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, all while sporting a footprint that is rumored to be even smaller than that of Apple's Mac Mini (currently $499 on Amazon).

According to the FEVM supplier, more details can be expected in the coming months regarding this powerful new mini PC. However, as we witnessed in the case of the FN60G, it seems that there will be no support for AMD CPUs. If true, it will potentially be a major disappointment for the fans of Team Red. Moreover, a surge in pricing is also expected, albeit a smaller jump compared to the FN60G for similar configurations.
