HP’s OmniDesk Mini is a compact desktop designed to pack plenty of flexibility into a small footprint. The sleek PC can handle up to four displays and supports eGPUs, giving users the option to add more graphics power without having to upgrade to a larger desktop. It also supports Thunderbolt Share, which lets two OmniDesk Mini units work together.
Two Panther Lake versions are currently available through Best Buy US, both with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The Core Ultra 5 model costs $1,089.99, while the more powerful Core Ultra 7 version is priced at $1,509.99. HP also lists a higher-end Core Ultra 9 model with 24GB of RAM for €1,899, although it isn't available to buy yet.
With its small size, flexible display setup and ability to connect to additional graphics hardware, the OmniDesk Mini is aimed at users who want a capable desktop without giving up much desk space.
