The Mira sits between the base Thelio desktop and the Thelio Major in terms of size, cost, and upgradability. It bears a slightly larger footprint than the base Thelio at a dimension of 17.18″ x 9.96″ x 13.03″ (or 436.35 x 253 x 331mm). Mira has the benefit of holding up to two graphics cards, versus the one GPU the base desktop can have.

Of course Thelio Mira can have Pop!_OS 20.10, 20.04, or Ubuntu 20.04 pre-installed as an operating system. The case comes in a walnut finish, but this can be replaced with birch (free). Other available colors are Dark Matter (adds $59), Martian Red (adds $59), or Neptune Blue (adds $59).
Just like their previous Thelio models it’s handcrafted into their Denver facility where rigid aluminium is cut, powder coated, and moulded into a light, durable chassis that looks as slick as ever
The System76 Thelio Mira is available immediately, and you can configure your own here. Pricing starts at $1,499, but the cost will obviously go up if you choose better than base specifications.
