The JWIPC W144 represents a new class of compact computing, housing the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processor within a 2-liter chassis designed for professional workloads and artificial intelligence applications.
The system measures 197 by 73 by 267 millimeters, approximating the size of a milk carton, and marks a significant convergence of performance and portability in the mini-PC category.
At the core of the W144 lies a Panther Lake processor from Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 lineup, which the company describes as leveraging its advanced 18A manufacturing process. The system ships with up to 96 gigabytes of LPDDR5X memory capable of operating at 9,600 megahertz transfer rates, a specification that carries substantial cost implications but addresses the demands of modern workloads.
The memory architecture incorporates dynamic sharing capabilities that permit allocation of up to 90 gigabytes specifically for graphics processing, enabling the integrated GPU to handle local AI inference tasks more effectively than traditional configurations.
The graphics subsystem utilizes Intel's Arc integrated GPU with 12 Xe3 cores, delivering capabilities that allow the system to execute large language models ranging from 7 billion to 120 billion parameters with smooth performance.
JWIPC claims one-click deployment through its proprietary AI assistant interface, simplifying the implementation of complex AI workloads on local hardware without requiring external data transmission or cloud infrastructure dependencies.
The integrated display represents an unusual feature for devices in this category. A small LCD screen sits directly embedded within the chassis, though JWIPC has not yet clarified whether this display functions exclusively for performance metrics and user-selected imagery or whether it supports interaction with the dedicated Microsoft Copilot button that also appears on the unit.
The system's video output capability extends to 8K resolution at 60 hertz refresh rates through dual outputs: one HDMI 2.1 connection and one DisplayPort 1.4 interface.
Connectivity architecture reflects professional networking requirements. The W144 incorporates dual Thunderbolt 4 ports for high-bandwidth peripheral attachment, supplemented by USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 connections.
An OCuLink port enables connection of external graphics accelerators for applications demanding additional GPU resources beyond the integrated solution. The system also includes standard networking capabilities alongside an SD 8.0 card reader for legacy storage media compatibility.pcmag
The power button integrates a fingerprint reader, while the chassis features a performance mode selector alongside the dedicated Copilot activation button, indicating designed engagement with Microsoft's AI assistant platform.
All Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors meet the Copilot+ PC requirements, offering minimum AI acceleration capabilities of 40 trillion operations per second, with higher-tier variants exceeding 100 TOPS.pcmag
The specific processor variant selected for production remains undisclosed, though JWIPC may offer multiple Panther Lake SKU options within the W144 frame.
The configuration targeting the W144 likely incorporates the Core Ultra X variant with 12 Xe3 GPU cores, positioning the system as a professional AI workstation rather than a general-purpose computing platform.
JWIPC has not announced specific release timing or pricing structure as of the latest available information.
The W144 enters a competitive landscape where other manufacturers have simultaneously revealed Panther Lake-based mini-PCs, including ASUS's NUC 16 Pro and MSI's Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG, suggesting a coordinated market introduction across the mini-PC segment following the official Intel processor announcement at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show.
The system addresses professional creators, developers, and enterprise users requiring local AI inference capability without the thermal footprint or power consumption associated with discrete graphics cards, thereby establishing a new performance tier within the ultra-compact computing segment.
