A Hongkongese brand has unveiled an interesting PC design resembling Tesla’s Cybertruck. The machine is powered by a mobile AMD chip coupled with upgradable RAM and storage.
Dubbed Xyber, a Ryzen 8845HS chip powers this mini PC with eight Zen 4 cores clocked up to 5.1GHz and a 12CU Radeon 780M iGPU. The brand then pairs the CPU with up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM and 4TB of SSD storage. You can upgrade both the SODIMM RAM and M.2 SSD separately. It might not have the best graphics card under the hood, but don’t sell this integrated chip short: it can handle Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing above 60fps.
The Xyber’s chassis isn’t a simple box to house the hardware, as it features working doors and a boot (trunk). Apparently, even the headlights are real, using LEDs to indicate system status. Unfortunately, unlike its inspiration, the Xyber doesn’t carry a battery inside. Elon would be proud of the name, nonetheless.
The brand hasn’t disclosed pricing yet, but you can expect it to be cheaper than Tesla’s version. If I had to guess, £700 sounds about right to me. The PC will be available to purchase through Indiegogo.
As usual, we remind you to be cautious with these community-funded projects, as some turn out to be scams. That doesn’t mean this one is one of them, but it’s important to think twice before jumping the gun. The good news is that from the looks of it, the brand seems to already have working manufacturing facilities as Videocardz managed to obtain some pictures of the build lines.
For I/O, the Xyber offers two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C with power delivery, one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A, one HDMI 2.1, plus a combo audio jack. Not the most extensive set but is what you can expect from the mobile motherboard packing inside this machine.
While we appreciate the attention to detail, we hope the manufacturer didn’t go as far as copying the Cybertruck’s door gap. Jokes aside, though probably a niche/limited-run product, the build quality and resemblance are striking. I am sure Tesla owners would love to add this one to their collection. Personally, I would have preferred a model based on Papa Fernando’s Vocho.
