Topton D13 debuts as affordable AMD mini PC with OCuLink port

Topton has introduced a new mini PC, the D13. Unlike some of the other recently introduced compact PCs, this one packs a Phoenix Point APU inside. More specifically, it's powered by the Ryzen 7 7840HS, which may not be the latest and the greatest, but it's still capable of handling heavy workloads.

The AMD APU also features the Radeon 780M iGPU, making the Topton D13 quite capable of running AAA games at respectable frame rates. But if you want a better gaming experience, you have the option to connect an eGPU with this mini PC. It comes with an OCuLink port, letting you pair docks like the Minisforum DEG1. You can also opt for eGPUs like the GPD G1 (curr. $699.95 on Amazon).

Besides the OCuLink port, the Topton D13 features four USB 3.2 Type-A, one USB4, two 2.5G Ethernet, two HDMI 2.1, and a 3.5 mm audio port. The company also highlights the compact form factor of the mini PC. It measures 108 x 108 x 60 mm but features a "dual-cooling" system to deliver stable performance under load.

Other highlights of the mini PC include 32 GB of onboard LPDDR5 RAM, three M.2 PCIe 4 slots, up to 54W TDP, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. As for the price, the Topton D13 is one of the most affordable mini PCs with an OCuLink port. Currently, the base variant with no storage is $397.66 on AliExpress. The company is also offering a bundle with the Minisforum DEG1, which currently starts at $524.19.
