Why it matters
Mouse Computer is betting that a mobile CPU can carry a desktop gaming line, trading the usual tower chip for quieter operation and multi-core headroom at a price that keeps the brand's first-gaming-PC pitch intact.
The mini-tower desktop uses an Intel Core Ultra 5 245HX mobile CPU with 14 cores and a 5.1GHz clock speed, plus a semi-fanless design whose front fan stops under light load. Pricing starts in the low 200,000 yen range.
The NEXTGEAR JG is a mini-tower desktop built around Intel's Core Ultra 5 245HX, a mobile part with 14 cores (6 P-cores and 8 E-cores) and a 5.1GHz clock speed. Mouse Computer's product manager Nami Hayashida said the mobile CPU entered the picture while the team worked on a machine that balances gaming with everyday use. The front case fan stops when load is low, and the memory uses SO-DIMM modules. Intel's Marcus Piper and Yosuke Yanai both appeared at the announcement, with Yanai calling the chip a high-performance notebook part that the company draws desktop-level performance from.
