Khadas Mind 2

Updated on May 27, 2026

The Khadas Mind 2 is a palm-sized modular mini PC from Khadas, sold in three configurations: an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H (16GB) and the Core Ultra 7 155H (32GB or 64GB), each with a PCIe 4.0 SSD of 512GB to 2TB. It is built around portability, with Thunderbolt 4, USB4, HDMI, and Wi-Fi 6E in a CNC-aluminum body that weighs under a pound, plus a proprietary Mind Link expansion port.

The Mind Link port carries PCIe Gen 5 x8 bandwidth to Khadas’s own modules. The Mind Graphics Dock adds an NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti for desktop-class gaming and creative work, and the Mind Dock adds more I/O and built-in speakers. Those modules are proprietary to Khadas and cost a lot extra.

Expansion happens outside the case

At 5.75 x 4.13 x 0.79 inches and under a pound, the Mind 2 fits easily into a bag. The Ultra 7 155H model runs 16 cores and 22 threads up to roughly 4.8 GHz, paired with up to 64GB of soldered LPDDR5X and a PCIe 4.0 SSD, which suits multitasking, productivity, and light gaming on the integrated Intel Arc graphics. Ports cover Thunderbolt 4, USB4, HDMI, and Wi-Fi 6E, but there is no wired Ethernet.

Only the SSD can be swapped internally, and it takes 2230-size drives; the RAM is soldered in place. The internal 5.55Wh battery keeps the unit alive in standby so you can carry it between docks without shutting down; it is not sized for running unplugged. The Mind Link port’s PCIe Gen 5 x8 bandwidth feeds the Graphics Dock (RTX 4060 Ti) and the Mind Dock (more I/O and speakers).

Reviewer Insights

ETA PRIME: the Graphics Dock lifts it to desktop-class gaming

ETA PRIME reviewed the Ultra 7 155H model (16 cores, 22 threads), calling it “upgrades across the board” over the original Mind, with Thunderbolt 4, USB4, and the Mind Link port’s PCIe Gen 5 x8 bandwidth. He measured a 3DMark Time Spy score of 3,608 on the integrated Intel Arc graphics, then 12,520 with the RTX 4060 Ti Graphics Dock attached, which turns it into a desktop-class setup. He liked the size (“not that much bigger than a cell phone”) and found Forza Horizon 5 and Cyberpunk 2077 playable on the integrated GPU and much better docked, with the main caveat being the reliance on proprietary expansion modules.

Tech Notice: the proprietary connectors are the cost of the ecosystem

From Khadas’s booth, Tech Notice covered it hands-on, stressing that you can “put this in your pocket” and that it is hard to find a more powerful mini PC that small, with the Mind Link modular ecosystem (and the Graphics Dock for GPU work) as the draw. His reservations were the proprietary connectors and the high cost of the add-on modules, plus the absence of some configurations for consumers, like a Lunar Lake variant.

Michael Klements: the fan gets noisy under load

Michael Klements reviewed the Ultra 5 125H model, describing it as “ultra-small,” weighing 435 grams in an “anodised aluminium unibody” enclosure. He found the integrated Intel Arc handled 1080p gaming and productivity, but the fan got noisy under load and demanding creative work needed the external GPU dock. His criticisms were the lack of a wired Ethernet port and the limited upgradeability: the RAM is non-removable and the M.2 slot takes only 2230-size drives.

TT Technology: Photoshop work fits, rendering needs the dock

On the same Ultra 5 125H model, TT Technology called it “very lightweight” at 435g, well-suited to productivity work like Photoshop, with the external GPU dock needed for heavier rendering or high-end gaming. He noted the small 5.55Wh battery is low capacity, meant for keeping the unit alive in standby between docks rather than for extended runtime, and that upgrades are limited to the SSD.

Chigz Tech Reviews: the integrated graphics set the ceiling

Chigz Tech Reviews highlighted the build: a full CNC-machined aluminium body, a slim 20mm thick and “barely half a kilo” in weight, with the 5.55Wh battery keeping it asleep for around 25 hours unplugged so you can carry it between docks without shutting down. He found it strong for office tasks and 4K media playback but limited by the Intel Arc integrated graphics for high-end gaming or heavy creative work, framing it as premium modular portability rather than raw power.

Customer Reviews

Only a few verified buyers have rated it on Amazon so far, too few for a meaningful average. A verified buyer named Jerry rated it five stars but noted the unit did not work right out of the box until he updated the BIOS, after which it was fine: “Depuis, le fonctionnement est stable et les performances sont satisfaisantes” (since then, operation is stable and performance is satisfactory). His advice was to run that BIOS update before first use. A separate verified buyer reported the opposite experience over Wi-Fi, saying that even after a clean Windows 11 install with manual drivers the Wi-Fi would only connect on the 2.4GHz band, not 5 or 6GHz.

Worth it when the docks are part of the plan

It is a Core Ultra machine under a pound that you can carry between desks and snap into the RTX 4060 Ti Graphics Dock for desktop-class GPU power, or into the Mind Dock for more ports. That flexibility suits mobile creators and developers who move between workspaces.

The hardware itself is locked down. The RAM is soldered, the only internal upgrade is a 2230-size SSD, and there is no wired Ethernet. The modules also decide the value math, since the machine is premium-priced on its own and the Graphics Dock adds substantially more, so a cheaper mini PC plus a standard eGPU may cost less if you do not need the pocketable form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the RAM in the Mind 2 be upgraded?

No. The RAM is soldered and cannot be changed after purchase. Configurations ship with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of LPDDR5X, so pick the capacity you need at the time you buy.

What is the purpose of the Mind Link port?

It is a proprietary expansion interface with PCIe Gen 5 x8 bandwidth. Khadas modules plug into it, including the Khadas Mind Graphics Dock for desktop-grade GPU performance and the Mind Dock for expanded I/O.

Does the Mind 2 have an Ethernet port?

There is no built-in Ethernet. Wired networking comes from the Khadas Mind Dock or a USB-to-Ethernet adapter.

What comes in the box?

The package includes the mini PC, a manual, a warranty card, a USB-C power cable, and a 65W USB-C power adapter. The Graphics Dock and Mind Dock are sold separately.

Can I use the Mind 2 for gaming?

Light gaming works on the integrated Intel Arc GPU. Demanding games need the Khadas Mind Graphics Dock and its NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti, which provides desktop-grade gaming performance.

How long does the internal battery last?

The 5.55Wh battery keeps the machine alive in standby so you can move it between docks or workstations without shutting it down; Chigz Tech Reviews measured roughly 25 hours of standby on it.

What kind of storage expansion is supported?

One M.2 slot handles storage expansion, and it takes 2230-size PCIe 4.0 SSDs only. Check the drive length before buying a replacement.

Where can I purchase the Khadas Mind Graphics Dock and Mind Dock?

The Khadas Mind Graphics Dock is available here and the Mind Dock here. Both are designed to extend what the Mind 2 can do.
