Beelink Launches OpenClaw Pre-installed Mini PCs — AI-Ready Straight Out of the Box
The Chinese mini PC maker unveiled Lobster Red edition machines, three distinct AI configurations, and plug-and-play SSD upgrade kits — though pricing and a sale date are still to come.

On March 10, 2026, Shenzhen-based compact PC manufacturer Beelink announced a new lineup of mini PCs shipped with the AI agent environment OpenClaw pre-installed, alongside SSD upgrade kits aimed at existing device owners. The move is designed to eliminate the technical friction that has kept many users from deploying local AI workloads — no driver wrangling, no manual environment configuration, just power on and go.
As OpenClaw gains global traction and AI agents reshape day-to-day productivity, Beelink is positioning itself as a one-stop hardware partner for the shift. The new series bundles the full software stack directly into the machine, spanning local inference, cloud API connectivity, and dual-OS flexibility.
Three Configurations for Three Types of Users
All new machines share an exclusive all-metal “Lobster Red” chassis — a limited aesthetic designed to signal their AI-first purpose. Beneath the distinctive finish, three configuration paths address very different use cases:
OpenClaw + Local LLM
Inference runs entirely on-device, eliminating token costs and keeping sensitive data fully local. Suited for high-frequency, privacy-conscious workloads where cloud dependency is undesirable.
OpenClaw + Cloud Model Access
Direct API integration with leading cloud models including GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini. This tier spans entry-level to advanced hardware, offering strong value at a comparable price point to the Mac mini while providing more ports, RAM, storage, and superior cooling.
Dual-OS Edition (Windows + Ubuntu)
Boot into Windows for everyday tasks or flip to Ubuntu for AI development — all on one device. Designed to consolidate office, entertainment, and AI workflows without sacrificing software compatibility.
Flagship Performance: 52 Tokens per Second
The top-tier GTR9 Pro 395, equipped with AMD’s AI Max+ 395 processor, delivers approximately 52 tokens per second when running the GPT-OSS 120B model locally — a figure that underscores the viability of on-device inference for demanding workloads.
“Beelink bridges this gap with a full-stack AI solution… significantly lowering the barrier to AI deployment.”— Beelink official announcement, March 10, 2026
SSD Upgrade Kits for Existing Owners
Current Beelink device owners are not left out. The company is simultaneously introducing plug-and-play SSD kits pre-loaded with the OpenClaw environment, enabling existing hardware to gain AI capabilities without a full machine replacement.
| Capacity | Ubuntu Pre-loaded | OpenClaw Pre-loaded | Local LLM Included | Storage Brand |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 TB | ✔ | ✔ | Compatible models | Crucial |
| 2 TB | ✔ | ✔ | Compatible models | Crucial |
| 4 TB | ✔ | ✔ | Compatible models | Crucial |
The kits use Crucial-branded storage components backed by a global warranty, and the drive can be reformatted at any time to repurpose it as standard storage, giving buyers a degree of future flexibility.
Warranty and Support
All products in the OpenClaw series are covered by Beelink’s three-year warranty. The company is also providing a dedicated AI support team offering one-on-one technical guidance — from initial setup through to daily operation — for users who need it.
Availability and Pricing
One important note for prospective buyers: despite some early media coverage describing the products as already available for purchase, none of the new machines or SSD kits have gone on sale yet. The March 10 announcement was a product reveal, not a launch. Exact pricing and a ship date remain to be confirmed.
