MeLE Overclock X2 is a slim mini PC powered by an Intel Processor N150 Twin Lake CPU and equipped with up to 32GB of replaceable DDR4 SO-DIMM memory instead of the usual soldered-on LPDDR4/5 typically found on this type of ultrathin mini PC.
It has basically the same design as the earlier Overclock4C mini PC with an Intel N95 Alder Lake-N CPU, and the older Overclock3C based on Celeron N5095 Jasper Lake processor. It features up to 256GB flash, up to 512GB NVMe SSD, two HDMI 2.0 video outputs and a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt mode for up to three independent displays, an audio jack, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 5, and a few USB ports.

The OS is optional, and the company lists support for Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu, Debian, and other Linux distributions. Liliputing explains that “Overclock” in the name is just because of settings in the BIOS that allow the adjustment of power limits.
MeLE sells the Overclock X4 on AliExpress starting at $208.99 with 8GB RAM and 128GB eMMC flash and no OS, and up to $313.49 with 32GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. Selecting the “OS” option, I assume for Windows 11 Pro, adds about $10 to the price. If history is any guide, the prices of MeLE mini PCs may be a bit lower during weekends. The computer may also eventually end up on the company’s Amazon store.
