- Thunderobot Station is a cubic desktop with front-facing SD and USB ports
- Ryzen AI Max+ 395 targets sustained workloads rather than peak performance
- Thunderobot Station is designed to stay visible and actively used
Thunderobot has started to gain momentum ahead of CES 2026, confirming the arrival of another system based on AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor.
The device, called Thunderobot Station, takes the form of a compact cube-shaped desktop computer rather than a traditional tower or laptop form factor.
This announcement adds to the growing list of Ryzen AI Max+ 395-based devices expected to appear around the show floor, suggesting wider vendor adoption of this generation of APUs.

Thunderobot describes the station as an AI-focused mini PC, designed for sustained workloads and long-term stability rather than peak performance.
According to the official teaser posted on Thunderobot’s Weibo handle (originally in Chinese), the Thunderobot Station features an array of front ports for easy access.
It has two standard USB-A ports, a USB-C port, an SD card slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
A circular power button sits above the ports, allowing for quick operation without bypassing the chassis.
Its cube-shaped case measures approximately 3 L in volume, which facilitates its integration into constrained office configurations.
The design also suggests that the device can maintain sufficient airflow for the processor and internal components.
What remains unclear is how far Thunderobot intends to push the platform in practical terms.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 can support higher operating levels than most mobile-class deployments, but this advantage only appears if the system configuration allows it.
With no power targets or thermal limits disclosed, the station’s true differentiation remains to be proven.
Although the design suggests that the device is intended to remain visible and actively used, unlike typical mini PCs designed for small spaces, this intention is not yet confirmed.
At CES 2026, which takes place January 6-9 in Las Vegas, Thunderobot will officially announce the full specifications of the device.
The event will also feature three other devices, including the ZERO Air gaming laptop with the next-generation Intel Panther Lake processor, the aibook14 Pro ultralight laptop with a carbon fiber chassis, and the MIX G2 desktop with discrete graphics and a compact chassis.
