UGREEN iDX6011 vs UGREEN iDX6011 Pro
Updated
Which should you buy?
For most buyers the iDX6011 with 64GB is the better buy: it shares the Pro's chassis, six bays, dual 10GbE, PCIe slot and iDX-only AI software. The Pro adds a faster Core Ultra 7 255H, an OCuLink port and a front display, which matter mainly if you plan an external GPU dock.
What is the difference between the iDX6011 and the iDX6011 Pro?
The iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro are the same platform at two price points. Both get UGREEN's iDX-only software, including the Uliya local assistant, semantic search and Intelligent Learning. Both have six bays, two M.2 slots, two 10GbE ports, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 128GB system SSD and an internal PCIe Gen4 x8 slot.
The differences are the processor, the memory options and two extras. The iDX6011 uses a Core Ultra 5 125H with 14 cores and an 11 TOPS NPU, and is sold with 32GB or 64GB of soldered LPDDR5X. The iDX6011 Pro uses a Core Ultra 7 255H with 16 cores, Arc 140T graphics and a 13 TOPS NPU, and only comes with 64GB. The Pro also adds an OCuLink port and a front touch display.
Memory is soldered on both, so the choice you make at checkout is permanent. The 32GB iDX6011 handles 7B to 14B class models; at 64GB either model holds 32B class models comfortably (Estimated). For language models the CPU difference is modest, because memory bandwidth limits speed more than cores do.
Choose the UGREEN iDX6011 if
You want UGREEN's local AI features without paying for extras you will not use. Pick the 64GB version if you plan to run 14B to 32B class models, or the 32GB version if your AI use is mostly photos, search and small assistants. The internal PCIe x8 slot still gives you a GPU upgrade path.
Choose the UGREEN iDX6011 Pro if
You want the fastest iDX platform and plan to connect an external GPU dock over OCuLink, keeping the internal slot free for networking or storage. The front display for status at a glance is a bonus. You are buying the top configuration anyway and want the highest CPU and graphics performance UGREEN sells.

Which can run bigger local models?
Both top out at 64GB of memory, so on paper they hold the same model sizes: 32B class models comfortably, and 70B class models at 4-bit with little headroom (Estimated). The difference is speed, which depends on the processor, graphics and memory bandwidth rather than capacity.
For GPU acceleration, the UGREEN iDX6011 offers pcie x8 slot, while the UGREEN iDX6011 Pro offers pcie x8 slot. A discrete card with its own memory is the biggest single speed upgrade for local models, so this matters more than CPU cores for anyone planning to run 14B models or larger.
The UGREEN iDX6011 has a 11 TOPS NPU; The UGREEN iDX6011 Pro has a 13 TOPS NPU. NAS NPUs help vendor features such as photo recognition and search, but most open-source LLM runtimes do not use them yet.
