This tiny Lenovo gaming PC somehow contains a desktop Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU

Lenovo has just unleashed a tiny new mini gaming PC, and it has a surprisingly powerful GPU embedded in its innards. The ThinkCentre Neo Ultra Gen 2 features a desktop-grade Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card inside a small 3.6-liter chassis, although its price tag is likely to make it a hard sell for most gamers.

Price aside, that Nvidia graphics card gives this Lenovo machine some serious heft as a gaming PC, putting it well ahead of the integrated GPUs we've seen in most mini PCs to date. On specs alone, this new Lenovo PC could easily compete with the models in our best mini gaming PC guide, especially against those without a discrete GPU.

While the RTX 5060 is a big factor for gaming, this Lenovo mini PC's small case design also manages to hide an Intel Core Ultra gaming CPU, with the ability to choose between an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 or Ultra 9 285 CPU, depending on your preference. Our Intel Core Ultra 265K review does admittedly show how unimpressed we were by this Arrow Lake lineup for gaming, but Intel has been working on improving its performance, including in this Cyberpunk 2077 update, which had a huge impact on frame rates.

Meanwhile, a three-fan thermal system helps to keep all of the components cool, including the integrated 350W power supply. The available ports are pretty extensive on this machine, too, with several USB ports, four DisplayPort connections, two HDMI ports, as well as Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 connections.

At just 3.6 liters, this tiny chassis measures 4.37 x 7.52 x 7.68 inches (11.1 x 19.1 x 19.5cm), and weighs 7.9lbs (3.6kg). The addition of the RTX 5060 graphics card makes the case a bit deeper than some, but it's still a very compact PC that will comfortably fit on almost any gamer's desk. It should still be pretty portable, too - I regularly bring a mini PC that's bigger than this one with me on my travels.

Storage options are pretty hefty, too, with three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, along with two DDR5 SODIMM slots that support up to 64GB of RAM. Several configurations are on sale right now at the Lenovo website, but the big problem for gamers will be its price. The cheapest build available right now, featuring an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 CPU, is $1,919, and that's with a 16% discount applied. Other models are on sale for $2,000+, with the most expensive model hitting $2,409.

A mini PC with a discrete graphics card could well be worth $2,000 to some, but it's certainly not budget pricing, which could strongly limit its appeal. Its specs and price do put it in direct competition against the likes of the Asus ROG NUC 2025, however. That mini PC features a laptop-grade RTX 5080, as well as an Intel Core Ultra 200HX gaming CPU, for a very similar ~$2,100 price tag.

If this tiny PC doesn't appeal to you, you might prefer a gaming laptop instead. Check out our best gaming laptop guide next for a list of solid recommendations to suit any budget.
