- FEVM ultra-thin Panther Lake mini PC measures just 169 x 108 x 19mm
- It has a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port as well as multiple USB Type-A connectors
- System includes three internal M.2 slots for high-speed storage expansion
Chinese PC maker FEVM is preparing an unusually thin mini PC, powered by an upcoming Intel Panther Lake processor.
Tech leaker Huang514613 claims this device’s preliminary dimensions are just 169 x 108 x 19mm, with an unusually dense array of connections on all four sides of the chassis.
The device includes features rarely found in such a slim form factor: 10 Gigabit Ethernet, an OCuLink port, and support for three internal M.2 storage slots.

A mini PC as thin as a laptop
The device’s profile approximates that of a typical laptop, making it a rare design for systems built around a desktop-class expansion.
The Panther Lake ultra-thin mini PC is equipped with 13 ports, providing extensive connectivity on all sides of its compact chassis.
It has a 3.5mm audio jack, a DC power input and two Thunderbolt 4 ports, alongside HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
It also includes multiple USB Type-A ports, although precise specifications for these connectors are not yet available.
Multiple configurations appear possible, with some configurations showing the USB-A ports on one short side and the OCuLink port on the opposite side, while others combine the two on the same edge.
The layout is unusual for such a compact case the size of a business laptop, allowing for a variety of peripheral options without adding thickness.
Its internal layout is said to support three M.2 slots – one slot offers PCIe 5.0 x4 speeds, another supports PCIe 4.0 x4 via an OCuLink adapter, while the third M.2 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 x2.
The device would use a 55W Intel Core Ultra processor from the Series 3 family, a generation associated with the Panther Lake platform.
Although systems in this size category frequently rely on mobile-class chips, the stated power envelope remains relatively high for a chassis less than 2 cm thick.
As a result, significant heat generation is expected and the manufacturer has installed a dual-fan setup to help maintain stable operating temperatures.
Compared to traditional mini PCs, which often prioritize height to allow for better cooling and better ports, this design prioritizes extreme thinness while still providing extensive connectivity.
At the time of writing, there is no official confirmation of the device’s specifications, and the company has not released pricing or launch details.
