Persistently rising memory prices continue to put pressure on the PC industry. Khadas is now also reacting to the increased costs but says it wants to keep the price adjustment as moderate as possible and bear some additional costs itself. Specifically, the change affects the Khadas Mind Pro with Core Ultra X7 and 64 GB RAM: from March 28, the price will rise from $1,999 to $2,299. This also marks the end of the pre-order phase.
Anyone wishing to secure the Mini PC at a lower price has until March 27th. As part of the pre-order, Khadas will continue to grant a discount of 200 US dollars, bringing the current price to $1,799. Compared to the future list price, this results in a total savings of $500.
Meanwhile, the availability of other variants has been delayed. Both the model with Core Ultra X9 and 96 GB RAM and the version with Core Ultra X7 and 32 GB RAM are impacted by supply bottlenecks for memory components. A specific market launch is still pending; Khadas intends to provide further information at a later date.
Khadas Mind Pro with powerful CPU thanks to Panther Lake
The Khadas Mind Pro impresses in our test as a powerful and versatile mini PC in an extremely compact format. Equipped with the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, 64 GB RAM, and a fast 2 TB SSD, the system offers sufficient reserves for demanding applications and productive work. The integrated Intel Arc Graphics also increases noticeably and even enables light gaming in addition to multimedia tasks.
The modular concept is particularly noteworthy: with optional accessories such as the Mind Dock, Mind Graphics or the Mind xPlay, the range of functions can be significantly expanded—right up to a gaming PC. The device also scores with high efficiency, quieter operation, and high-quality workmanship. There are limitations in terms of upgradeability and the high price. Overall, the Mind Pro is a flexible premium solution for demanding users.
