Considering that not everyone needs a multimedia console filled with RGB elements, mini PCs are becoming more popular in recent years. This article introduces Pix Nii, which has just launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. It features a small form factor of 6.9 x 6.6 x 4.8 cm (2.7 x 2.6 x 1.9 inches) — less than half the size of competitors like the Minisforum H31G — and weighs less than 160 grams (5.6 ounces).

The Pix Nii is equipped with a 3.3 GHz Intel Pentium N6005 processor with integrated Intel UHD Graphics core graphics. For storage, the Pix Nii offers 8 / 16GB DDR4 RAM + 256 / 512GB or 1TB SSD options, and supports 2TB microSD expansion.
For connectivity, it offers a pair of HDMI video out ports (supporting 4K @ 60Hz), Bluetooth 5.2 + Wi-Fi 6 wireless network adapter, dual USB 3.2, wired Ethernet, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The compact size of the Pix Nii makes it ideal for on-the-go use, and although its focus is not on desktop gaming, it is capable of meeting most casual office use.
You can put it in your media center connected to a projector or easily make presentations between home and office, and the pricing is quite modest — starting at just $159 (~1073 RMB) for 8GB RAM + 512GB SSD.
Finally, Pix Nii is being crowdfunded on Indiegogo. Although the campaign is still 25 days away, the project has already reached ten times its expected fundraising goal. If all goes well, Pix Core will ship to early backers in December of this year.
