- The FEVM ultra-thin Panther Lake Mini PC measures only 169 x 108 x 19 mm
- It has a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port along with several USB Type-A connectors
- The 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 that the preliminary dimensions of this device are just 169 x 108 x 19mm, with an unusually tight set of connections across all four sides of the chassis.
The device includes features rarely found in such a thin 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 approaches that of a conventional laptop, making it a rare design for systems built around desktop-class expansion.
The ultra-slim Panther Lake mini PC is equipped with 13 ports that offer extensive connectivity across all sides of its compact chassis.
It has a 3.5mm audio jack, a DC power input and two Thunderbolt 4 ports sitting next to HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
It also includes several USB Type-A ports, although the exact specifications of these connectors are not yet available.
Multiple configurations appear to be possible, with some layouts showing USB-A ports on one card side and the OCuLink port on the opposite side, while others combine both on the same edge.
The arrangement is unusual for such a compact case in a laptop, allowing a number of peripheral options without adding thickness.
Its internal layout reportedly supports three M.2 slots – one slot offers PCIe 5.0 x4 speeds, another supports PCIe 4.0 x4 through an OCuLink adapter, while the third M.2 slot runs on PCIe 4.0 x2.
The device reportedly uses 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 often rely on mobile-class chips, the specified power frame 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 configuration to help maintain stable operating temperatures.
Compared to typical mini PCs, which often prioritize height to allow for better cooling and ports, this design prioritizes extreme thinness while still offering extensive connectivity options.
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.
