Japanese PC maker iiyama has quietly expanded its I-Class lineup with a compact desktop that packs AMD's latest mobile silicon, a built-in fingerprint sensor, and dual Ethernet — all in a chassis small enough to sit behind a monitor.
The new Style-I1MA-RA45-EZDX went on sale in Japan on October 15, 2026, according to an official announcement from Unitcom, the company behind the iiyama PC brand. Notebookcheck first spotted the listing, and it's an interesting option for anyone who wants serious productivity performance without a tower taking up desk space.
AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 at the Helm
At the heart of the machine is AMD's Ryzen AI 7 450, an eight-core, 16-thread mobile processor built on the Zen 5 architecture. It boosts up to 5.1 GHz, supports DDR5 memory, and includes a dedicated NPU for on-device AI workloads. Graphics are handled by the integrated Radeon 860M, which is more than adequate for office apps, media playback, and even some light gaming or content editing.
iiyama positions the mini PC for a wide range of roles — everything from a home desktop and office workstation to a digital signage player. The low-power mobile CPU helps keep electricity costs down, which matters if you're deploying these in bulk.
Fingerprint Reader Built Into the Power Button
One of the more distinctive touches here is the fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button. It authenticates the user at boot, so you can skip typing a password and get straight to work. It's a small feature, but one that's surprisingly rare in this form factor — and it's a genuine convenience for shared office environments.
Connectivity is also generous for a machine this size:
| Front | Rear |
|---|---|
| 2× USB 3.1 Type-A | 2× USB 2.0 Type-A |
| 1× USB4 Type-C (DisplayPort out) | 1× USB4 Type-C (DisplayPort out) |
| 3.5 mm audio jack | HDMI |
| SD card reader | DisplayPort |
| 2× Ethernet (2.5GbE + 1GbE) |
Wireless support includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5, so the machine is future-proofed on the networking side as well.
Dimensions and Mounting
The chassis measures just 139.9 × 129.9 × 43.9 mm (roughly 5.5 × 5.1 × 1.7 inches), making it genuinely palm-sized. An optional VESA mounting kit is available for ¥1,900 (around $12), letting you tuck the PC behind a monitor for a cleaner setup.
Pricing and Configuration
The standard build-to-order configuration ships with:
- 8 GB DDR5 RAM (single module)
- 500 GB NVMe M.2 SSD
- Windows 11 Home
Buyers can upgrade memory and storage through iiyama's BTO service. The base price is ¥169,800 including tax (approximately $1,075), and the unit is currently sold in Japan only — iiyama has not announced international availability.
It's also worth noting that the mini PC is certified as a Green Purchasing Law compliant product, which may appeal to businesses and public-sector buyers with environmental procurement requirements.

The Bottom Line
The compact desktop market is getting crowded — Gigabyte's Brix and Asus's ExpertCenter PN55 both use the same Ryzen AI 7 450 — but iiyama's take stands out for its fingerprint reader, dual Ethernet ports, and genuinely tiny footprint. For Japanese buyers who want a capable, low-power desktop with a bit of extra security built in, the Style-I1MA-RA45-EZDX looks like a solid pick.
