Recently, Lenovo launched a business mini PC model called Ruitian 100, which boasts the 13th generation Core i5-13500HX processor. The 16GB + 512GB version is priced at 1999 yuan, while the 16GB + 1TB version is 2299 yuan. For users in regions eligible for national subsidies, the actual prices are only 1599 yuan and 1839 yuan, offering excellent cost-performance.
It is important to note that the processor in the Ruitian 100 is the i5-13500HX with the HX suffix, which is not commonly found in the mini PC sector compared to the 13500H. This chip is customized by Intel for gaming laptops, featuring 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, totaling 14 cores and 20 threads, with a built-in 24MB high-speed cache. Aside from a turbo frequency of only 4.7GHz, the CPU specifications are actually comparable to the i7-13700H and i9-13900H. At the price of 1599 yuan, the CPU performance is indeed formidable, making it appealing for business users.
However, because the 13500HX is exclusive to gaming laptops, it only integrates the UHD 16 graphics for basic display purposes. Therefore, if you also have gaming needs such as playing League of Legends or CS, this product may not be suitable for you.
For ordinary consumers who wish to balance work, study, entertainment, and gaming, I personally recommend Lenovo’s ecological brand, the Kaku MINI PRO, which is equipped with the Ryzen 7 8745H. The 16GB + 1TB version is only 2059 yuan after national subsidies, and it can share Lenovo’s offline after-sales service, making it an excellent value.
Getting back to the Lenovo Ruitian 100, it features a composite material body, but with the addition of UV paint mirror coating and laser engraving technology, the build quality does not feel cheap. Its volume of 0.8 liters is only the size of a palm.
This product includes 2 USB-C ports, 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen2 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, HDMI 1.4, DP 1.4, RJ45, audio interface, and power socket, which are more than sufficient for office scenarios.
The Ruitian 100 has 2 DDR4 memory slots, only 1 M.2 hard drive slot, and the wireless card only supports Wi-Fi 5, which are its weaknesses.
In summary, the Lenovo Ruitian 100 is a mini PC tailored for the business market. While it is not ideal in terms of integrated graphics, wireless capabilities, and expansion options, its CPU performance with the i5-13500HX processor is strong enough to meet the daily office needs of business users. Coupled with Lenovo’s comprehensive after-sales service, its competitiveness is quite good, but it is not recommended for ordinary family users.
