Opulent Customization
A special edition Kubb Fanless mini PC has been ordered with a pure 24-carat gold passive chassis. This customization elevates the price to approximately $1.7 million, a significant increase from the standard aluminum version. The device's weight also increased from 4.6 pounds to 28.7 pounds due to the material change.
Thermal Performance Benefits
The gold chassis provides a functional benefit in thermal conductivity. Gold transfers heat 30% to 50% faster than aluminum, which could lead to improved performance for the internal Core Ultra chip by facilitating more efficient heat dissipation. Fanless Tech described this gold version as a "cooling marvel."
Standard Internal Specifications
Despite the external luxury, the internal components of this custom mini PC are modest. Standard configurations for the Kubb Fanless include Intel Core Ultra 5 225H or Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, or AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 processors, with 16GB DDR5 (up to 128GB) and a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD. Connectivity options vary slightly between Intel and AMD models, featuring USB ports, HDMI, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
Comparison to Standard Models
Standard Kubb Fanless mini PCs are typically made from aluminum and are available in graphite, blue, or bronze finishes. These models, equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H, are listed at €1,595 ($1,822). The significant price difference highlights the cost of the 24-carat gold material over the standard aluminum construction.
