Server-grade hardware in a compact body

The hardware is the device’s highlight, featuring specifications that surpass many conventionally sized workstations and challenge recent launches from other brands that focus on the high-performance segment. The main engine is the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, accompanied by an impressive 96 GB of DDR5 RAM operating at 5600 MHz. For storage, the manufacturer included a 2 TB NVMe SSD with PCIe 4.0 support, ensuring speed in reading large data sets and agility in executing complex machine learning tasks.

The star of the set is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile graphics card, equipped with 24 GB of dedicated GDDR7 video memory. This next-generation GPU delivers the acceleration needed for heavy AI workloads and visual content generation, putting the product on a collision course with competitors equipped with the same graphics technology. The massive VRAM capacity is critical for loading extensive language models locally, allowing creators and developers to work without the bottlenecks common to compact systems.

Performance in artificial intelligence and benchmarks

In benchmark tests, the system demonstrated superior performance in generating tokens in language models such as Qwen3, GPT-OSS and Gemma3. The results surpass desktop computers in the same price range, demonstrating the efficiency of Olares’ integrated architecture. However, the company points out that performance can fluctuate when multiple users or models are running simultaneously, with the data output rate declining under extreme stress in competing tasks, which requires careful management of available resources.

Unlike most modern computers, the device does not use Windows 11 as standard, opting for Olares OS. This open source operating system was specifically designed to create a “personal cloud”, making it easy to install more than 200 AI applications with just one click. Although the focus is on data sovereignty, native incompatibility with traditional Windows software may be a point of attention for users looking for a general-purpose machine, although the manufacturer promises compatibility solutions for essential applications in the future.

Thermal engineering and advanced connectivity

To keep heat under control in such a small chassis, engineering used a vapor chamber combined with a set of copper fins and custom fans. The thermal management system promises to maintain low noise levels even under full load, something crucial for a device that intends to stay on the desk. It is worth noting that these acoustic efficiency promises are based on laboratory tests and may vary depending on the usage environment, especially in tasks that require prolonged use of the processor and powerful GPU.

The device’s connectivity options are comprehensive and future-proof, including support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for high-speed wireless connections. On the outside, there are Thunderbolt 5 ports, USB-A and HDMI 2.1 inputs for connecting high-fidelity monitors and professional peripherals. For those who require maximum network stability in corporate or home environments, there is a 2.5 Gbps RJ45 Ethernet port, allowing for heavy file transfers and stable communication with other devices on the local network.

Investment and market availability

Founded by Peng Peng, Olares has already raised US$45 million in investments and sees its inaugural product as a way to return control of artificial intelligence to the individual. On the campaign’s official Kickstarter page, the project has already raised more than US$1.2 million from hundreds of backers, reflecting the public’s interest in local solutions. The price of US$2,899 (approximately R$15,886.52 in direct conversion) delivers processing power rarely seen in small formats, with its official debut scheduled for CES 2026.
