What does Olares publish about the hardware?
Olares' spec and product pages, read on 13 Nov 2026, describe a laptop-class NVIDIA GPU, a 24-core Intel CPU and 96 GB of RAM in a 320 x 197 x 55 mm box with an aluminum alloy shell. Olares rates the GPU at 1824 AI TOPS, which is Olares' own rating and not an independent measurement.

Olares' shop reports 2,343,324 USD pledged on Kickstarter.
Why is it featured as an AI mini PC?
It is featured for CUDA in a small box. Image and video tools such as FLUX and Wan reach NVIDIA first, and Olares One is the only mini PC here with an RTX 5090 Mobile. It also runs on x86, so Windows and Linux packages without Arm builds install normally.
In Olares' own tests, FLUX.1 dev with Nunchaku FP4 took 15.51 s for the first image and 8.32 s for each one after, and Qwen3-30B-A3B ran at 157 tokens/s for one request. According to Olares' FAQ, the Thunderbolt 5 port takes an external GPU enclosure and drives up to two external monitors at up to 8K.
How do you start using it?
Treat it as a network device first. Activate it once with an internet connection, an Olares ID and the LarePass app, then open Olares OS from a browser on another computer. According to Olares' FAQ, its HDMI port shows an Ubuntu shell or Steam output, not a full desktop.
For a classic desktop with monitor, keyboard and mouse, Olares says you can dual-boot Windows from a second NVMe SSD in the free slot or replace Olares OS. For AI apps, install Ollama and Open WebUI from the Olares Market and pull a model that fits in 24 GB.
What should you confirm with Olares?
Confirm which image and video apps the Olares Market lists today, the current price, and SSD slot details if you plan to add storage. Olares' own pages disagree on which M.2 slot the stock SSD uses. On 13 Nov 2026 the shop announced a saving of 300 USD per unit from 17 Nov 2026.
