Though positioned as a business-class machine, the Abee AI Station's feature set places it in direct contention with traditional workstation towers, offering a local, cloud-free compute option for AI developers.
Abee joins a growing list of Chinese vendors like GMKTec and SDUNITED to build mini-PCs around AMD's Strix Halo-class silicon.
However, global brands such as Asus and HP have so far confined the chip to larger workstation-class desktops.
Whether this mini PC form factor will catch on outside China remains to be seen, but the Abee AI Station's specifications place it among the most ambitious compact AI systems available today.
Real-world performance testing, however, will determine if it can deliver on its considerable promise.

Asian stocks wobble, dollar edges down with tariff deadline in focus
TOKYO: Most Asian equity markets struggled on Friday, despite record highs for Wall Street overnight, as U.S. President Donald Trump's deadline for trade deals loomed next week. The dollar retraced some of Thursday's gains with U.S. markets already shut for the week, as traders considered the impact of the sweeping spending bill Trump is about to sign into law. Japan's Nikkei rose 0.3% as of 0152 GMT after flipping between gains and losses in early trading. Hong Kong's Hang Seng slumped 1.3%, while mainland Chinese blue chips edged slightly lower. Taiwan's equity benchmark shed early gains to decline 0.2%. South Korea's KOSPI sank more than 1%. U.S. S&P 500 futures edged down 0.2%, following a 0.8% overnight advance for the cash index to a fresh all-time closing peak. Wall Street is closed Friday for Independence Day. Investors cheered a surprisingly robust jobs report on Thursday in sending all three of the main U.S. equity indexes climbing in a shortened session. Following the close, the House narrowly approved Trump's signature, 869-page bill, which would add $3.4 trillion to the nation's $36.2 trillion debt, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Trump also said he would start sending out letters to trade partners with their tariff rates, as deals remained elusive ahead of the July 9 deadline. The U.S. President said he expected 'a couple' more agreements after announcing a deal with Vietnam on Wednesday to add to framework agreements with China and Britain as the only successes so far. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said earlier this week that a deal with India is close. However agreements with Japan and South Korea, once touted by the White House as likely to be among the earliest to be announced, appear to have broken down. 'It is now just waiting for July 9,' said Tony Sycamore, an analyst at IG, with the market's lack of optimism for deals responsible for some of the equity weakness around the region, particularly Japan and South Korea. At the same time, Thursday's jobs data shows 'the U.S. economy is holding together better than most people expected, which suggests to me that markets can easily continue to do better' from here, Sycamore said. The jobs data saw traders take any expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut this month off the table. The U.S. dollar rallied, taking it up as much as 0.7% versus a basket of major peers on Thursday before it pared its advance to end the session with a 0.4% rise. Early on Friday, the U.S. currency gave back a little of those gains, slipping 0.2% to 144.62 yen and edging down 0.1% to 0.7942 Swiss franc . The euro added 0.1% to $1.1766, while sterling traded flat at $1.3650. The U.S. Treasury bond market is closed Friday for the holiday, but 10-year yields rose 4.7 basis points (bps) to 4.34% while the 2-year yield jumped 9.3 bps to 3.882%. Gold inched up 0.1% to $3,329.54 per ounce. Brent crude futures rose 1 cent to $68.81 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude firmed 3 cents to $67.03.

Govt, Alibaba to boost e-commerce
Muhammad Hamayun Sajjad, CEO of Mashreq Pakistan, emphasised that digitalisation is no longer just an option—it has become essential for driving growth. photo: file Listen to article The government is set to partner with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba next week in a strategic move to promote the country's exports worldwide. The collaboration aims to strengthen Pakistan's digital supply chain ecosystem by leveraging secure and real-time digital payment solutions such as Raast, the country's instant payment system. Speaking at the 18th International Conference on 'Mobile Commerce 2025', Faiz Ahmad, Chief Executive of the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), announced, "We are partnering with Alibaba in the next week — to revolutionise all Pakistani products that are discovered, sold, and shifted across borders. It is one of the two global e-commerce giants, including Amazon." "Our vision is to create a single unified digital supply chain ecosystem, supported by secured and real-time digital payment solutions like the national instant payment system Raast, being successfully operated by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP)," he said at the one-day conference organised by Total Communications in Karachi. Ahmad elaborated with a practical example: imagine a small business in Skardu receiving a bulk order from Alibaba. The payment arrives instantly into its mobile wallet via Raast. The same wallet is used to pay a supplier in Karachi through Raast. Inventory is hit, tracked, and restarted without cash, without a bank, and without barriers. "That is the power of digital commerce. That is the vision we are materialising right now. Raast makes this region not only possible but practical and scalable. This is not theoretical. It is actionable. This is the future we are building with your support." TDAP and the Ministry of Commerce are fully committed to driving this digital shift, not just as a policy priority but "as a national imperative," he added. Faisal Mahmood, Head of Digital Public Infrastructure at Karandaaz Pakistan, raised concerns about the central bank's capacity to run pilot phases of projects within the SBP sandbox. He questioned whether the necessary resources — such as funding, expertise, and technical support — are adequately available to effectively support such initiatives. To recall, the SBP launched its sandbox guidelines around two months ago, in May 2025. Soon, it will invite all entities — regulated or unregulated — such as banks, fintechs, and startups, to test their digital business ideas and potential solutions in a controlled environment with relaxed regulations during the testing phase. Ali Imran Khan, Deputy CIO at Meezan Bank, emphasised that open banking represents the future of financial services. He explained that it enables financial institutions to securely share customer data with third parties, allowing for the development of personalised financial solutions. Importantly, this data sharing only occurs with the explicit consent of account holders. Muhammad Hamayun Sajjad, CEO of Mashreq Pakistan, remarked that cash has remained the "king of the ring" so far. However, he emphasised that digitalisation is no longer just an optionit has become essential for driving growth. The one-day conference hosted four panel discussions, including: (1) From Experiment to Execution: The Role of Regulatory Sandboxes in Digital Financial Services; (2) From Legacy to Agility: The Future of Financial Services with Open Banking; (3) Navigating Payments, Lending and Technologies in E-Commerce; and (4) The Rise of Digital Wallets and Its Relevance to Pakistan.
