Released in August 2019, Intel’s 10th generation Comet Lake-Y and U-Series processors have been found in several laptops, but there have been less Comet Lake mini PC‘s announced with the new processors.

XCY X41 mini PC ships with its 110/220V power adapter, regional power cord (EU, AU, UK or US), a user manual & a warranty card. The mini PC is said to support Windows 10, Windows 8, and Linux distributions such as Ubuntu.
XCY X41 mini PC is sold barebone on Aliexpress for $419 including worldwide DHL shipping, but the seller also provides options with RAM and storage and for instance, the model with 16GB DDR4 RAM and 512MB SSD goes for $619.
Few sellers advertize their mini PCs as being powered by “Comet Lake” processors, and instead, they just use the processor model or “10th generation processor” in the title. It turns out XCY X41 is not the only Core i7-10510U mini PC around, as you’ll find a bunch of competing solutions on Aliexpress.
