The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Air Mini is a compact tower PC case made of aluminium and tempered glass, and it is built around airflow. It is a case, not a computer, so it holds the motherboard, cooling and storage you choose. The closest Thinvent alternative is a complete Mini PC: the Thinvent Treo Mini PC with Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, which is a ready-to-run system you do not need to assemble.

Key differences
-
The Thinvent Treo is a complete system with processor, memory, storage and operating system included. The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Air Mini is an empty case, so you must add all components yourself.
-
The Thinvent Treo with AMD Ryzen 5 7430U supports up to 64 GB of RAM. The Treo with Intel Core Ultra 5 125U supports up to 2 TB of SSD storage.
-
The Treo has an Intel Core Ultra 5 125U with 12 cores, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7430U with 6 cores and 64 GB RAM. Both include dual Ethernet on the Intel model and VESA mounting.
-
The O11 Dynamic Air Mini has a spacious interior with room for multiple fan and radiator setups and supports ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ITX boards. We could not confirm the O11 Dynamic Air Mini's exact fan count or maximum radiator size from the facts available.
-
Trade-off: the O11 Dynamic Air Mini gives you full control over the parts you choose. The Thinvent Treo gives you a configured, ready-to-run system with a fixed form factor.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the Lian Li O11 Dynamic Air Mini if you want a case to build a custom PC with your own motherboard, processor and cooling. Choose a Thinvent Treo Mini PC if you want a complete, compact system that runs out of the box with the operating system of your choice.
