Colorful Launches SMART 900 Mini PC, Powered by Flagship Ryzen AI “Strix Halo” APU

Chinese tech news sites have alluded to the launch of Colorful’s brand-new SMART 900 Mini PC in the region. Oddly, the company’s various web presences and social media accounts do not mention this diminutive 4-liter (volume) product. At last month’s Computex trade show, the TechPowerUp crew happened upon a preview unit—dubbed generically as a “Mini AI PC.” The latest press material confirms Colorful’s selection of AMD’s top-flight 16-core Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU. The Team Red “Strix Halo” mobile series leverages “Zen 5” processor cores and RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics solutions. Colorful has joined a small club of Mini PC providers that deal in Ryzen AI Max-equipped hardware. GMKtec seems to be leading this pack; with last month’s global release of configurable EVO-X2 Mini PC pre-builds (starting at $1499).

Zotac is readying a competing Magnus EA (2025) range; the TPU team encountered a 12-core Ryzen AI Max 390-equipped example at Computex 2025. In North America, Framework is still working on getting its “4.5L Mini-ITX” Desktop out of the door—hopefully by the third quarter of this year. Colorful’s SMART 900 Mini PC design sports a high quality anodized aluminium chassis. An “excellent” heat dissipation solution is advertised as taking: “advantage of the metal body—ensuring that the system can maintain a low operating temperature and a relatively reasonable noise level under high load.” Rival manufacturers have outlined memory configurations of 64 GB or 128 GB LPDDR5X, but Colorful has opted for an unusual in-between 96 GB setup. At the time of writing, no SMART 900 Mini PC pricing information was included in local media reports.
