MeLE Overclock X2: Affordable Twin Lake mini PC launches with pocket-sized form factor

MeLE has introduced the refreshed Overclock X2, a pocket-sized mini PC that's powered by a Twin Lake CPU. To be precise, the updated system comes with the Intel N150, a slightly upgraded variant of the N100 inside a good number of PCs that the company offers.

This affordable mini PC, despite the pocket-sized form factor, has a rich set of I/O. More specifically, it features the following connectivity ports:

• 1x USB 2.0 Type-A
• 2x USB 3.2 Type-A
• 1x full-function USB Type-C
• 2x HDMI 2.0
• 1x Gigabit Ethernet
• 1x 3.5 mm audio

The Intel N150 inside can be paired with up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM running at 3200 MHz. However, it's worth noting that the system has one SO-DIMM slot, which means the memory is limited to single-channel. As for storage, there's an option for 256 GB of eMMC storage, and the mini PC comes with a 2280 M.2 slot, which can hold up to a 4 TB SSD (4 TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus curr. $249.99 on Amazon). It also features a microSD slot capable of accommodating a 2 TB card. So, the combined storage can go over 6 TB.

Unlike the company's Quieter mini PC lineup, the Overclock X2 comes with a built-in active cooling setup. MeLE notes that there's a durable fan that operates at low noise but can efficiently keep the system cool.

Among the other highlights of this affordable mini PC are Bluetooth 5.1, WiFi 5, and support for triple-screen output. The MeLE Overclock X2 starts at €299, about $347, and it has yet to be widely available in the global market.
