Kaihe Full Line Buying Guide: Which AI Computer Is Right for You?

Buying an AI computer is fundamentally different from buying a regular PC. With a regular PC, you compare CPU benchmarks, GPU models, RAM size—three numbers, and you're done. But an AI computer's core value isn't in those specs. It's in how many hours of staring at screens it saves you.

Think of it like buying a car. Some people care about 0-60 mph times. Others just want to know if the trunk fits a stroller. Different needs, completely different "best value" answers.

This guide skips the spec sheets. We'll pull out each Kaihe model and tell you directly: who this machine is best for, and why.

A1 (¥999): The "AI Co-Pilot" for Content Creators

Best for: Content creators, knowledge bloggers, light AI users

The A1 is the most "restrained" model in the lineup—but that restraint is deliberate. Its processor runs the OpenClaw Agent framework smoothly, without making you pay for compute power you'll never use.

What you can do with A1: - Auto-scrape trending topics and rewrite them in your style - Schedule posts across multiple platforms (Toutiao, Zhihu, Weibo) - Handle fan messages and comments 24/7 - Connect to Feishu/Notion/Yuque via MCP protocol

What you can't do with A1: - Run 70B-class models locally (needs E1 or above) - Run 4+ complex Agent workflows simultaneously - Real-time AI video processing

Bottom line: If your daily AI interaction is mainly "writing content" and "automated publishing," A1 is more than enough. At ¥999, it costs less than 3 months of ChatGPT Plus—and you own it forever.

B1 (¥1,499): The "AI Dispatch Center" for Small Teams

Best for: 3-10 person teams, studios with basic data management needs

The B1 adds two things on top of the A1: stronger concurrent processing, and larger local storage. This makes it the natural choice for small teams.

Real scenario: a 5-person cross-border e-commerce team. The B1 serves everyone simultaneously—Wang checks logistics, Li writes listing copy, the boss generates weekly reports—no one experiences lag.

Bottom line: If you're not using AI alone but need a "shared AI host" your colleagues can access too, B1 is your starting point.

C1 (¥1,999): The "Security Fortress" for Privacy-Sensitive Users

Best for: Lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, real estate brokers

The C1 has a crystal-clear mission: put data security first.

All Kaihe devices support local operation, but the C1 adds hardware-level physical isolation—a physical "privacy mode" switch. Flip it down, and all network connections are physically severed. The device becomes an offline local AI inference machine. For professionals handling client privacy data daily, this isn't a feature—it's a compliance baseline.

Bottom line: If your data "absolutely cannot touch the cloud," the C1 offers the strongest peace of mind in the entire Kaihe lineup.

E1 (¥3,499): The "Private AI Lab" for Tech Enthusiasts

Best for: Developers, tech geeks, users who want to run large models locally

Starting from the E1, you own an AI computer capable of running large models locally. This is the true dividing line in the Kaihe product family—E1 and above aren't just "users of AI tools," but "builders of AI environments."

Run a complete LLM inference + agent orchestration pipeline on your local network. For independent developers, this means cutting that $100/month OpenAI API bill down to zero.

Body

G1 (¥1,799): Dedicated AI Inference Accelerator

Best for: Users who already have a PC and want AI compute as an "add-on"

The G1 is the most unique model—you don't need to replace your existing computer. Plug it in as an external AI accelerator that runs all Agent tasks independently, without consuming your host machine's CPU or RAM.

Bottom line: The G1 answers the question: "I already have a computer, but I need something dedicated to running AI."

DeepX M1 Compute Stick (¥499): The Lowest-Barrier AI Entry

Best for: Users wanting to try AI computing on a budget, or as a secondary device

Plug it into any USB-C port, and you've got an AI-dedicated processor. It won't run full workflows standalone, but as a trial device or auxiliary inference accelerator, the ¥499 price tag makes hesitation almost unnecessary.

Quick Decision Matrix

Your Situation	Recommendation
Solo writer/content creator	A1 ¥999
Small shared team	B1 ¥1,499
Handling client private data	C1 ¥1,999
Want to run local LLMs	E1 ¥3,499
Don't want to replace PC, add AI boost	G1 ¥1,799
Tight budget, want to test the waters	DeepX M1 ¥499

One last thought: You don't need the most expensive one. You need the right one. Most "performance anxiety" around AI computers is manufactured—your workflow won't improve from that extra 50% compute power, but it will transform when the machine truly integrates into your daily routine.
