Qualcomm previously introduced the Snapdragon Development Kit for Windows, which was essentially a compact device targeted solely at developers. This kit was so costly that its production ceased within just six months.

Now, Geekom is taking a bold step by creating its own Snapdragon X Elite mini PC, aimed squarely at the retail market. This development makes it the first genuine Snapdragon mini designed for consumers.

Unfortunately, specific details about its specifications are not available yet. What we have are external renderings that reveal a classic mini PC design, featuring dense cooling vents on both sides, two USB ports on the front, and 3.5mm audio jacks. Frankly, the USB-A ports on the front look quite outdated, especially since devices like the Mac mini and Studio have shifted to USB Type-C.

It has been confirmed that the device will incorporate the Snapdragon X Elite chip, but whether this will be the full-powered version remains to be seen.

Given the pricing of Snapdragon X Elite laptops, one can reasonably expect that mini PCs based on this platform will not be cheap either. The anticipated cost may well be in the $6,000 to $7,000 range.

Jaeger Core, a notable player in the mini PC arena, has extensive experience with both Intel and AMD platforms. Their foray into the Snapdragon platform with this new product will be interesting to watch.
