- The Thunderobot Station is a cube desk with front-facing SD and USB ports
- The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is targeted at sustained workloads rather than maximum performance
- Thunderobot Station is designed to remain visible and actively used
Thunderobot is starting to build momentum ahead of CES 2026, confirming the arrival of another system based on AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor.
Referred to as the Thunderobot Station, the device takes the form of a compact, cube-like desk rather than a traditional tower or laptop format.
This announcement adds to the growing list of Ryzen AI Max+ 395-based devices expected to appear around the show, suggesting wider vendor adoption of this APU generation.

Thunderobot describes the station as an AI-focused mini PC built for sustained workloads and long-term stability rather than peak burst performance.
From the official teaser on Thunderobot’s Weibo handle (originally in Chinese), the Thunderobot Station includes a series of front-facing ports for easy access.
It has two standard USB-A ports, one USB-C port, an SD card slot and a 3.5mm audio jack.
A circular power button sits above the ports, allowing quick operation without reaching around the chassis.
Its cube-like enclosure measures approximately 3L in volume, making it easy to integrate into limited desktop setups.
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 sustain higher operating levels than most mobile-class implementations, but that advantage will only show if the system configuration allows it.
Without revealed power targets or thermal limits, the real differentiation of the station remains unproven.
Although the design suggests that the device is intended to remain visible and actively used, unlike regular mini PCs designed for small spaces, this intention has yet to be confirmed.
At CES 2026, which runs from January 6 to January 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 Intel’s next-generation Panther Lake processor, the aibook14 Pro ultralight notebook with a carbon fiber chassis, and the MIX G2 desktop with discrete graphics and a compact chassis.
