We've recently seen some mini PC powerhouses arrive, like the Beelink GTi Ultra. The Turbo Mini
Unlike many mini PC offerings that rely on mobile CPUs and integrated graphics, the Turbo Mini X supports a 65-watt desktop CPU and connects to a discrete external graphics box, StreamPlay X, via a proprietary port.
Equipped with an Intel B760 chipset, the Turbo Mini This ensures decent performance for both everyday computing and more demanding tasks. The mini PC also supports up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM, and for storage, it supports two PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 slots, each capable of handling up to 4TB NVMe SSDs, plus an additional 2.5-inch SATA slot for HDDs. up to 2 TB. /SSD.

The aforementioned proprietary port connects to the Mini Maker StreamPlay X, an external graphics box (sold separately) designed to provide desktop-level GPU performance. This connection is reported to offer a performance delta of just 5% compared to a native GPU installation, significantly outperforming typical Thunderbolt eGPU setups.
The mini PC also features advanced cooling solutions, including a dedicated SSD heatsink to maintain peak performance without noise.
Tom's Hardware had a chance to check out the Turbo Mini X at Computex and was “impressed with its design and performance potential.” According to a company representative they spoke to there, the Turbo Mini X could cost $150 and the StreamPlay X is similarly priced. That would cost the entire assembly about $300. You will need to add your own CPU, RAM and SSD, but still, as Tom Hardware You note that it sounds unrealistically low and maybe it's a wholesale price.
