Orico OminiPro mini PC launches with Apple Mac Pro-like design and eGPU support

Orico has expanded into the PC market, and one of the first models in this segment is the OminiPro. As previously teased, this mini PC comes with a design that makes it look like a miniature version of the Apple Mac Pro. That is, it has the same lattice pattern on the front panel as Apple's offering, and there's a similar-looking handle on the top and footstands on the bottom.

Under the hood, the Orico OminiPro packs the Ryzen 7 8845HS, a capable Hawk Point APU with the Radeon 780M. This iGPU makes the mini PC powerful enough to smoothly handle most AAA games with the resolution to 1080p or lower and visual settings at the medium or low preset.

There are two full-featured USB4 ports, making this Apple Mac Pro-designed mini PC compatible with eGPUs (GMK AD-GP1 curr. $469.79 on Amazon). Of course, it would have been better to see OminiPro feature an OCuLink port as well. Nonetheless, in addition to these two, the other ports of the system are as follows:

• 1x HDMI 2.1
• 1x DisplayPort 1.4
• 2x 2.5G Ethernet
• 2x 10 Gbps USB Type-A
• 1x 3.5 mm audio

As the brand highlights, the front panel of the chassis can hide the front ports when they are not in use. Orico also notes that this mini PC comes with a capable cooling setup, and it comes with a 120 W GaN power adapter that ensures higher efficiency and stable power delivery.

Among the other aspects of the Orico OminiPro are WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and support for 256 GB of DDR5 RAM and 8 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage. The barebone variant of the mini PC launched in China at CNY 3,099, around $435. There's no word about global release yet, but the brand offers its products outside China.
