The mini PC market has been very active recently, with Lenovo offering several models such as Xiaoxin, Yiner, and Laiku, while brands like Zero刻 are also becoming increasingly competitive with a rich product line.
Now, Zero刻 has finally launched the i7-13620H computer, priced at 2995 Yuan, while Lenovo has had a product waiting for Zero刻, priced at 2999 Yuan. Let’s take a look.
First, we have the Zero刻 EQi13 Pro mini host, priced at 2995 Yuan.
This product features an older CPU but is a new product. We see that Zero刻 has also made an introduction, stating that aside from upgrading the CPU from the 12th to the 13th generation, the main improvements are in the metal casing, enhanced cooling capabilities, and reduced noise levels.
This computer uses the i7-13620H processor, which includes 6 performance cores, 4 efficiency cores, totaling 10 cores and 16 threads, with a maximum frequency of 4.9GHz and a power consumption of 45W. The graphics card is an UHD graphics card, running at 1.5GHz with 64 execution units.
In terms of graphics, the 13620H is not as good as the 13500H, but with 50% more large cores, its performance is still superior, so there is no need for doubt.
In terms of CPU performance, it has improved by 24% compared to the 12450H, and the GPU has improved by 49%.
It is equipped with 32GB DDR4 memory, a 1TB M.2 SSD, and dual M.2 2280 slots.
It features a bottom air intake and rear exhaust design, achieving a noise level of 32dB. It also has a built-in 85W power supply. Network support includes WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
It has 4 USB-A and 1 USB-C ports, dual full-speed HDMI, and dual gigabit network cards. The product comes with a 5-year warranty, and you read that right, a 5-year warranty.
Next, let’s look at the Lenovo Laiku mini, priced at 2999 Yuan, with a subsidized price of 2399 Yuan.
This model also features the i7-13620H processor, 32GB DDR4 memory, a 1TB M.2 SSD, dual memory slots, and dual M.2 slots.
It uses a turbocharged fan with three heat pipes to achieve efficient cooling at a full power consumption of 45W.
It also has 4 USB-A and 1 USB-C ports, dual network cards, HDMI 2.1 standard port, and DP1.2, Wi-Fi 5 network, with an external 100W adapter and a 3-year warranty.
From the configuration perspective, Zero刻 is clearly stronger, mainly due to faster networking, faster ports, and a metal casing. In terms of warranty, Zero刻 also offers a stronger 5-year warranty. However, on the other hand, Zero刻 cannot receive subsidies, so if you can access the subsidy, it is better to choose Laiku, saving 600 Yuan directly. But if the subsidy is hard to obtain, Zero刻 is indeed more worth considering.
