Mind xPlay display and keyboard review using Khadas Mind and Mind 2 mini PCs

In this review, I'll report my experience with the Khadas Mind xPlay display and keyboard using the Mind and Mind 2 mini PCs, as well as a CHUWI CoreBook Air Plus 16 laptop to test it as a standard external display. Using Mind xPlay with the Mind 2 mini PC I received the Mind xPlay with the Mind 2 Meteor Lake mini PC, and I already showed how to connect it and get started in the first part of the review. So I'll continue the review with it initially. I used the EIZO monitor test website to evaluate the display panel itself. I went through all 13 tests, including dead pixel and gradients tests. The pattern above looks fine too, so I compare the Mind xPlay monitor to the 16-inch display of the ASUS Vivobook 16 to find differences. Both were set to maximum brightness. The xPlay delivers noticeably more

My experience upgrading the BIOS of a Windows 11 mini PC (with BitLocker) in 2026

My experience upgrading the BIOS of a Windows 11 mini PC (with BitLocker) in 2026

I don't always update the BIOS of my system, but when I do, I always make sure to waste several hours doing so. Last time I did that was in 2020, but this happened again when I updated the BIOS for the Khadas Mind 2 to test it with the Mind xPlay display and Mind Graphics 2 dock. Khadas provides the BIOS with instructions to update the Mind 2 mini PC, and it's supposed to take five minutes, but I ended up wasting two about hours... The first step is to download and extract a zip file (mind-2-bios-v1.07-260122.zip), then start the Flash_BIOS upgrade program, and finally wait for the upgrade to complete. That part went great. No problem, but when the system rebooted, I was greeted by a BitLocker window asking me to enter a recovery key to carry on with the boot process. There's no way to avoid this,

Khadas Mind Graphics 2 and Mind xPlay display + keyboard review – Part 1: Unboxing, teardown, and first try

Khadas Mind Graphics 2 and Mind xPlay display + keyboard review – Part 1: Unboxing, teardown, and first try

Khadas has sent us the Mind Graphics 2 dock, Mind xPlay portable display and keyboard, as well as the Mind 2 mini PC for review. In the first part of the review, I'll start by listing specifications, an unboxing of all three packages, a teardown of the graphics dock, and a first try of the xPlay and Mind Graphics 2 with the mini PC. While the Mind 2 will be used for testing, I won't go into details here since it's quite similar to the Mind 2 AI Maker Kit we reviewed last year. Instead, in the next parts, I'll do a review of the xPlay with it, the first-generation Mind, and maybe another platform with USB-C video output. I'll follow that by detailed testing of the Khadas Mind 2, including graphics and AI performance with the built-in NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB card, and check all its features.

Linux 7.0 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linux 7.0 Release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 7.0 on LKML: The last week of the release continued the same "lots of small fixes" trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I've tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out. I suspect it's a lot of AI tool use that will keep finding corner cases for us for a while, so this may be the "new normal" at least for a while. Only time will tell. Anyway, this last week was a little bit of everything: networking (core and drivers), arch fixes, tooling and selftests, and various random fixes all over the place. Let's keep testing, and obviously tomorrow the merge window for 7.1 opens. I already have four dozen pull requests pending - thank you to all the early people. Linus This follows the Linux 6.19 release about two months ago, which brought us PCIe link encryption and

Almost getting to the point where I can be productive with my #khadas Edge 2 SBC. My desktop env is running. Got my browser compiling, but I need to figure out how to bake some command line args when running it so it will do proper hardware acceleration. VSCode barely runs since it's so bloated so I'm probs gonna go back to nano or some editor with simple keybinds and LSP support

Khadas Mind Go is a tablet with keyboard, dock, and modular accessories

Up until now, the Khadas Mind line of computers have been mini PCs made to work with modular accessories thanks to a PCIe x8 connector that lets you attach a pocket-sized computer to a graphics dock, portable display, and other add-ons.

Has anyone experiences, opinions or alternatives on the KHADAS Edge2 SBC?
It may be a bit pricy and I also may want to buy accessories but from the description it looks good to me.

I’m looking for a device that runs linux and that I can take with me and with a battery pack and my Xreal glasses use wherever I am to browse, read news, access the fediverse, watch videos and maybe play a bit on Steam.

Khadas updates it modular mini PC ecosystem with new CPU, graphics dock, and display (plus a tablet… maybe)

The Khadas Mind line of mini PCs are compact desktop computer that could be used as standalone desktop computers that just happen to be small enough to fit in your pocket. But what makes them different from other mini PCs is a modular ecosystem that uses a PCIe 5.0 x8 expansion interface to let you connect a Khadas Mind PC to peripherals like a graphics dock.

Now Khadas is preparing to launch […]
