Tecno, renowned in the smartphone industry, is expanding into the computing realm with the launch of its latest innovation, the Mega Mini Gaming G1. Unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, this tiny PC claims the title of the world’s smallest water-cooled gaming PC. While its claim awaits thorough validation, the device looks promising on paper.

Powered by an Intel Core i9-13900H processor, the Mega Mini Gaming G1 will also be available with the latest Intel Core Ultra processors. Paired with an Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, most likely the laptop variant, the highlight is the signature custom water cooling solution. Tecno claims that it can effectively maintain optimal temperatures, ensuring consistent performance.

You also get vivid RGB lighting, and the frame has a small built-in display that allows users to monitor hardware metrics like CPU, GPU, and RAM usage, along with temperature readings.

Tecno did not share the official dimensions, but according to MiniMachines, the computer is 9.8 inches tall and 5.2 inches wide. The system will be offered with a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD and 32GB of DDR5 RAM which can be upgraded in the future as it uses standard SO-DIMM slots. There is also support for Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E. In terms of I/O, you get dual Ethernet, two USB Type-C ports, six USB Type-A ports, and a headphone and microphone combo jack.

The gaming mini PC has an OCuLink port that can be connected to an external graphics dock to pair the mini PC with a powerful desktop GPU. Although OCuLink may not be the best solution, it is relatively better compared to Thunderbolt as it can offer up to 64 Gb/s of bandwidth, which is 60% more than Thunderbolt 4.

The Mega Mini Gaming G1 is bigger than some of the best mini-PCs on the market, but it’s clearly the smallest we’ve seen and features a liquid cooling solution. Unfortunately, pricing and availability details for the Mega Mini Gaming G1 are all under wraps, but we’re hoping to get our hands on it once it’s officially available for purchase.
